In this episode, hosts Graeme Codrington and Dean Van Leeuwen from TomorrowToday Consulting, are joined by CEO of Achilles, Paul Stanley for a discussion on the intricate world of global supply chains, examining both the challenges and opportunities they present. From ethical considerations like modern slavery to the necessity of building resilient and sustainable supply chains, we hear how companies can leverage data and technology to address these issues. The discussion also touches on the importance of embedding ESG principles into core business strategies and how businesses can strategically manage these complex challenges.

We open the episode by unpacking stories from around the globe which are impacting the 7 Grey Elephants. This month we explore the subject of genetic data privacy, amid news of the recent bankruptcy of 23andMe. We reflect on the impact such data can have on personal health decisions and the foresight needed to protect this sensitive information from future risks. Highlighting the importance of pseudonyms in genetic testing to safeguard against potential misuse by government and insurance entities.

Next, we spotlight the global water scarcity crisis, particularly the vital role of Himalayan glaciers in sustaining 40% of the world's population. We explore the alarming consequences of climate change on these glaciers, which could lead to devastating floods, landslides, and reduced river flows. The looming threat of "day zero" serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for solutions to enhance water security, with the far-reaching impacts of water shortages on agriculture, manufacturing, and political stability, demanding immediate attention and action from global leaders.
