Michael's Green World

Michael Wilhelm Herzog

Hi, I’m Michael. After years as an engineer and corporate manager, I founded my own consulting firm focused on sustainability solutions. Since retiring, I’ve been tackling puzzles that align seemingly conflicting interests and discovering win-win strategies with my clients. I also support a project dedicated to ocean ecology. My wife Karin and my son Alex were the first to suggest a podcast for me. As a natural optimist and father of two wonderful kids, I tend to resist gloomy predictions about our future. We probably live in the best world we ever had, with the promise of making a meaningful life accessible for a growing part of the world population, but it is imperative to keep this spirit alive. Therefore, I’ve created an antidote to scepticism: ‘Michael’s Green World.’

Colaboração e parcerias fortalecem voluntários apaixonados

No episódio de hoje, temos o prazer de dar as boas-vindas a Ophélie Reis, fundadora da Associação Patrulha do Oceano (OPAA), sediada em Peniche, Portugal, uma hora a norte de Lisboa. Desde a sua fundação em maio de 2021, a Patrulha do Oceano tem estado na linha da frente da conservação dos oceanos, sensibilizando, organizando limpezas de praias e liderando iniciativas para combater a poluição por plásticos ao longo da costa portuguesa. Com mais de 500 voluntários e mais de 6.000 quilos de lixo plástico removido das praias, este grupo de jovens apaixonados está a dar o exemplo de como a ação popular pode impulsionar mudanças reais, não apenas aumentar a consciencialização. Vamos mergulhar para compreender o que torna esta atividade valiosa para o nosso mundo!

Wie KI Herstellern hilft, Lieferantendaten zu überprüfen und Emissionen zu reduzieren

Als ich mit dem Nachhaltigkeitsteam eines großen Herstellers zusammenarbeitete, stieß ich auf eine massive Herausforderung, die in vielen Branchen weit verbreitet ist. Hersteller zum Beispiel von elektrischen und elektronischen Produkten sind auf unzählige vorgefertigte Teile angewiesen — Stahlschrauben, Aluminiumgehäuse, elektronische Platinen und Chips, all diese wesentlichen Komponenten. Doch die CO2-Daten für viele Teile waren unvollständig oder schlichtweg nicht verfügbar. Anstatt präzise Berechnungen durchzuführen, mussten Unternehmen auf grobe Schätzungen zurückgreifen, indem sie versuchten, die Kosten eines Teils in seinen CO2-Ausstoß umzurechnen. Um echten Fortschritt bei der Dekarbonisierung zu erzielen brauchen wir zuverlässige Daten für jedes Teil und jeden Lieferanten.

Im Kern dieses Problems steht die Herausforderung des Reifegrads und des Vertrauens. Unternehmen stehen heute unter immensem Druck, ihre Emissionen zu reduzieren, insbesondere in ihren Lieferketten. Aber diese Emissionen können nicht direkt von den Lieferanten selbst reduziert werden. Die Lieferanten müssen Änderungen in ihren Verfahren und Lieferketten vornehmen, und das erfordert Investitionen. Vertrauen ist gegenseitig — die Lieferanten müssen darauf vertrauen, dass der Hersteller ihre emissionsarmen, verbesserten Teile kauft, und die Hersteller müssen den Emissions-Daten vertrauen, die sie von den Lieferanten erhalten.

Hier kommt Climate Choice ins Spiel. Ihre KI-gesteuerte Plattform hilft Unternehmen, Daten von ihren wichtigsten Lieferanten zu sammeln, zu überprüfen und zu standardisieren, sodass sie leicht zu bewerten und direkt zu vergleichen sind. Dies gibt den Unternehmen die Klarheit und das Vertrauen, das sie brauchen, um ihre Lieferketten strategisch zu dekarbonisieren und mit Lieferanten zusammenzuarbeiten, um Emissionen dort zu reduzieren, wo es am wichtigsten ist.

Thank you for clarifying! Here’s the final, properly formatted list for your copy-paste needs:

How AI Help Manufacturers Verify Supplier Data and Drive Emissions Reductions

When I worked with the sustainability team of a large manufacturer, I encountered a massive challenge that is widespread across many industries. Manufacturers, for example, of electrical and electronic products, rely on countless pre-manufactured parts—steel bolts, aluminum casings, electronic boards, and chips, all these essential components. Yet, the CO2 data for many parts was incomplete or simply unavailable. Instead of making precise calculations, companies had to rely on rough estimates, trying to convert the cost of a part into its carbon footprint. To make real progress on decarbonization, we need reliable data for every part and every supplier.

At the core of this problem lies the challenge of maturity and trust. Companies are under immense pressure to reduce emissions, especially in their supply chains. But these emissions cannot be directly reduced by the manufacturers themselves. Suppliers need to make changes in their processes and supply chains, and that requires investment. Trust becomes mutual—the suppliers must trust that manufacturers will buy their low-emission, improved parts, and manufacturers must trust the emissions data they receive from suppliers.

This is where Climate Choice steps in. Their AI-driven platform helps companies gather, verify, and standardize data from their key suppliers, making it easy to evaluate and directly compare. This gives companies the clarity and confidence they need to strategically decarbonize their supply chains and collaborate with suppliers to reduce emissions where it matters most.

Thank you for clarifying! Here’s the final, properly formatted list for your copy-paste needs:
