Supply Chain. That is what Jameson Morrell of Jacobs Engineering starts with when diagnosing sustainability at any company. It’s the upstream and downstream impacts that a company needs to be aware of for its own impact.

This journey started as an army chef and a small business owner, where Jameson got to view the supply chain up close. Those lessons served well when working for DHL and tackling the carbon footprint of one of the world’s largest logistics companies.

Today, as the practice lead for Sustainability Intelligence at Jacobs Engineering, he uses his experiences to help Fortune500 clients create, implement and execute on their sustainability journey, fully understanding that every company is going to be different. What’s important is to see how the different supply chain systems – be it water, electricity, waste, agriculture – intersect and influence each other.
