Big tech is transforming every aspect of our world. But how, and at what cost? This season of Land of the Giants – The Disney Dilemma – focuses on Disney’s ability to weather the ups and downs of the business cycle and changing tastes and explores what has kept it successful for over 100 years.

In this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Jamie Barsimantov, VP of Supply Chain Strategy at Sphera, to explore what it really means to build a sustainable, resilient, and data-driven supply chain in 2025.
Jamie brings a fascinating perspective, from his early days as an environmental researcher to founding SupplyShift and now helping global enterprises at Sphera manage sustainability and operational risk at scale. We discuss why sustainability isn’t a finish line but a continuous journey - one where information, not intention, is the true currency.
Jamie explains why chasing total transparency can backfire, how companies can avoid “death by analysis,” and why the smartest supply chain leaders are using software and AI to turn supplier data into meaningful action. We unpack the major shifts driving this new era - from EU regulations like the Deforestation Regulation and CBAM, to the rise of supplier diversification, and the growing demand for product carbon footprinting.
We also talk about how political polarisation, tariff uncertainty, and global supply disruptions are reshaping corporate priorities, and why aligning sustainability with core business goals is no longer optional, it’s existential.
If you’re looking to understand how to cut through the noise, engage suppliers effectively, and build a future-proof supply chain grounded in credible data and climate impact, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
🎧 Listen now and discover how to move from analysis to action, and from risk to resilience.
