Rethinking sustainable supply chains: Three myths businesses must consider
<p>Sustainability is rising to the top of boardroom and policy agendas around the world. But are the supply chains businesses rely on actually compatible with a sustainable future, or are we simply hoping they will be?</p><p> </p><p>In this episode of Dialogue with the Dean, Julian Birkinshaw is joined by Jury Gualandris, Associate Professor of Operations Management and Sustainability and Abell Hodgson Chair in Regenerative Agriculture at Ivey, and Academic Director of Ivey's Building Sustainable Value Centre. Drawing on his latest research, Gualandris unpacks three widely held myths about sustainable supply chains and explains what it really takes to build supply chains that don't just reduce harm, but actively regenerate the social and ecological systems we all depend on.</p><p> </p><p>The conversation explores the complexity behind well-intentioned business decisions, the hidden costs of chasing efficiency at all costs, and why the way businesses think about their resources may need to be fundamentally rethought. The episode also explores insights from his Collective Action Program, a ground-level research initiative working with farmers across Southwestern Ontario to build the kinds of coalitions that make systemic change possible.</p><p> </p><p>This podcast is essential listening for business leaders, sustainability practitioners, and anyone who wants to move beyond good intentions and start making better decisions for people, planet, and profit.</p><p> </p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>0:00 Nesting business inside society and ecology</p><p>3:37 Exploring upcycling</p><p>13:10 Challenging the Toyota model and pushing efficiency to far</p><p>24:42 Searching for the customer for wasted resources</p><p>29:12 The Collective Action Program for Southwestern Ontario farmers</p>

Who's in the boardroom? Examining politics, expertise, and good governance
<p>Canada's government-owned corporations control assets worth billions of dollars and deliver essential services, from electricity to water, to millions of Canadians. But who is actually overseeing them? And are the right people in the room?</p><p> </p><p>In this episode of Dialogue with the Dean, Julian Birkinshaw is joined by Guy Holburn, Professor of Business, Economics and Public Policy at Ivey and former Director of the Ivey Energy and Policy Management Centre, to explore the state of governance in Canada's public utilities. One of Canada's leading experts on energy policy and corporate governance, Holburn brings both rigorous research and real boardroom experience as a director of London Hydro.</p><p> </p><p>The conversation digs into a striking and underexamined finding: roughly a quarter of directors on Ontario's electricity distribution boards are elected politicians such as municipal councillors and mayors, rather than independent industry experts. Holburn explores what this means in practice: how political and independent directors may bring different priorities to the table, what questions this raises about expertise and accountability, and examples where good governance has led to mega-project success.</p><p> </p><p>This episode is essential listening for policymakers, business leaders, and anyone who cares about how public assets are managed, and by whom.</p><p> </p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>0:00 Essential ingredients for a board</p><p>7:18 How elected politicians approach board work</p><p>13:18 What does bad governance look like vs. good governance</p><p>19:46 Personal experience on the London Hydro Board</p><p>24:53 Students understanding role of government</p>

Greenwashing, greenhushing, and the truth behind corporate environmental claims
<p>From sustainable packaging to net-zero pledges, environmental branding is everywhere. But how much of it is real? And how much falls under what experts call greenwashing, or claims that mislead us into thinking companies are more environmentally responsible than they really are?</p><p> </p><p>In this episode of Dialogue with the Dean, Julian Birkinshaw is joined by Wren Montgomery, Associate Professor of Sustainability at Ivey, to explore one of the most pressing and pervasive challenges in the sustainability space. A globally recognized expert on greenwashing, Montgomery has spent years examining how and why companies misrepresent their environmental performance, and what it costs us when they do.</p><p> </p><p>The conversation also ventures into a newer and more subtle phenomenon: greenhushing. This is where companies choose to downplay or stay silent about their environmental actions altogether. Montgomery argues that silence is far from neutral, and that greenhushing carries its own risks for climate progress, public trust, and accountability.</p><p> </p><p>This episode offers essential insights for business leaders, policymakers, and anyone who wants to separate genuine sustainability from spin.</p><p> </p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>:00 Wren Montgomery’s research background</p><p>5:14 Defining corporate greenwashing and its evolution</p><p>10:38 Greenwashing 3.0 and the explosion of greenwashing</p><p>18:07 Examining the concept of greenhushing</p><p>24:33 Lying to your stakeholders is not a good way to do business</p>
