Show notes

Cutting emissions is crucial for the planet. But how can we effectively shift the mindsets and behaviors of suppliers whose practices have a significant environmental impact?

In this episode, Becky is joined by Caryn-Ann Allen, Group Associate Director for Sustainability at Geopost. Caryn is currently leading the charge on decarbonising Europe’s largest parcel delivery network, championing the power of collaboration, policy, and mindset shifts to drive meaningful environmental impact.

In this conversation, you’ll hear how transport and logistics, one of the world’s most carbon-intensive sectors, can become a driving force for climate action. They also explore how Geopost is cutting emissions across a complex, outsourced network and the role of policy, infrastructure, and governance in scaling cleaner delivery, and why clarity and long-term vision matter.
