At the recent Reuters Supply Chain USA event in Chicago, hundreds of manufacturing and consumer goods stakeholders convened under the theme “Navigate Complexity in an Era of Uncertainty.”

The two-day event brought together a diverse range of supply chain professionals across freight, logistics, and manufacturing for products in beauty, fashion, tech, and more. Acknowledged throughout the programming was the rapid rise of artificial intelligence across industries, as well as the impact of tariffs on global trade and sourcing.

Representing an apparel perspective, Cascale hosted a sustainability session titled “Reframing Resilience: How to Win While Still Greening the Supply Chain.” The roundtable drew executives from retail, private equity, supply chain planning, data, and tech, including Ulta Beauty and the B Corp-certified logistics company, Flock Freight. The session hit on critical points for today’s decision-maker, including sustainability commitments, supplier diversification, regionality in sourcing and climate risk, geopolitical awareness.

In another session, Nikhil Abuja, director of last-mile planning and supply chain at Amazon, a Cascale member, took the stage alongside speakers from FedEx and The Circular Supply Chain Network. Abuja spoke about scaling analytics and capturing customer data on deliveries to improve efficiency – noting that agility and adaptability are critical to logistical success. His team is also responsible for adding electric vehicles to the delivery fleet.

Similarly, Uber Freight’s Eric Berdinis, director of product management, focused on digitizing the entire supply chain – a $200-billion-dollar offshoot business for the rideshare app. By investing in guaranteed upfront pricing and bundled bookings, Uber Freight was able to reduce roughly four million empty miles. In his session, he played a video demonstrating new feats from Uber Freight like driverless semi-trucks and generative AI supply chain agents with uncanny likeness to humans because of “natural language” use, including pauses.

In a conversation that echoed one taking place in fashion Erik Lopez, chief supply chain officer at Ulta Beauty, introduced a concept of “fast beauty” wherein the beauty retailer is super responsive to changing consumer trends – not unlike fashion. Ulta Beauty also relies heavily on split-cart fulfillment, with some 40 percent of purchases being Buy Online Pickup in Store, or BOPIS. “It’s really about amplifying and enabling our team rather than replacing them,” he said. The conference closed with a session on workforce empowerment for building resilient supply chains.

• Sapulpa’s wastewater treatment system can handle up to 7 million gallons per day with 21 pump stations

SAPULPA, Okla., June 10, 2025 /3BL/ – Veolia North America, the leading environmental services company in the United States, has finalized an agreement with the City of Sapulpa to operate and maintain the community’s wastewater treatment facilities. Veolia has strong resources in the Central Oklahoma region and is eager to implement this new partnership with Sapulpa, a growing community of 23,000, just 15 miles southwest of downtown Tulsa.

The Sapulpa City Council voted unanimously on April 21 to enter a five-year agreement with Veolia to operate the city’s wastewater treatment plant and its 21 pump stations. The agreement may be renewed for three additional five-year terms if both parties agree. The operations and maintenance contract began May 1.

“Working with the City of Sapulpa to reach this agreement has been a meaningful experience and we are very excited to partner with Sapulpa to create the wastewater treatment performance that its residents and businesses deserve,” said Rory Munns, president of municipal water operations for Veolia’s Central Region. “Veolia has a wealth of global resources and experience, as well as decades of service to Oklahoma communities with our dedicated local staff, that we will use to serve the people of Sapulpa.”

Veolia is committed to helping Sapulpa meet its environmental security goals, managing its precious water resources in a region of the country that frequently deals with drought and weather-related challenges. Stable and compliant wastewater treatment is critical to the economic vitality and growth of the region, and no company is better equipped to help Sapulpa meet the challenges of the future. Veolia’s global GreenUp strategy strives to lead the ecological transformation of the planet by accelerating water quality improvement, hazardous waste treatment and disposal, decarbonization and technological innovation.

Craig Henderson, Mayor of Sapulpa, said, “I’m excited to welcome Veolia to the City of Sapulpa. We are at a point where we need the hands-on technical assistance and direction this nationally recognized company offers. As our city continues to grow, the demands on all our water facilities will continue to be of utmost importance, and this is just another step we need to make to ensure compliance and to make our systems efficient and top quality.” 

As part of the agreement, Veolia will advise the city on its capital needs in maintaining and improving the wastewater treatment plant, which handles 3.5 million gallons of wastewater on an average day and is capable of handling twice that amount.

In remote communities in Argentina, access to quality healthcare is a challenge for many different reasons, including a strong reliance on paper medical records. For many patients, the nearest doctor is hours away. Moreover, many doctors struggle to keep track of their patients’ medical records to provide consistent care across these vast distances.

That’s changing.

Employees from Boehringer Ingelheim, Argentina are collaborating with La Higuera, a non-profit organization committed to delivering primary healthcare services to rural communities. The team from Boehringer has been working to replace paper records with a digital solution to streamline and improve medical consultations.

The recent pilot project has already served nearly 900 adults and over 725 children, as well as facilitating the completion of almost 200 ultrasounds. “This tool is truly invaluable to us. One of our greatest challenges is following up with patients due to the access difficulties they face in getting consultations. Now we can diagnose and treat them on the spot,” said Gala Reynoso, a medical doctor at La Higuera.

Learn more about how Boehringer is using innovation to transform lives in Argentina and beyond on Imagine: our sustainability story hub, where we share our commitment to sustainability and what we are doing to create a positive impact for humans, animals and our planet.

This blog is part of our focus on Cisco employees who are “Striving for Sustainability” by finding opportunities to integrate sustainability in their day-to-day work.

After years in services and business development, Christopher Weiland charted a new path — applying his technology expertise to drive sustainability innovation at Cisco. Much like the trails he rides in the Colorado backcountry, Weiland is a trailblazer — helping shape new approaches to product circularity.

Tell us about your journey in technology and the roles you’ve held at Cisco before moving into sustainability.

Christopher: My interest in technology started early — in fact, I was regularly pulled out of middle school classes to troubleshoot issues in the school’s computer lab. That interest and technical know-how led me to study industrial engineering, which set the foundation for roles at Microsoft, IBM, and eventually Cisco, which I joined in 2000.

At Cisco, I focused on services and sales, doing some exciting work to help major service provider customers navigate complex networking solutions. After two decades, I began to think about the next phase of my career and started exploring how I could transition from a technology-focused role to one centered on sustainability.

What did that exploration look like and how did you navigate a career shift within Cisco?

Christopher: After having an amazing career in tech at Cisco, I was thrilled to realize that I could explore sustainability within the Cisco community. Initially, I thought I might need a master’s degree in environmental science or that I might have to leave the company to chart a new path. But then I discovered a group of passionate Cisco employees who were supporting sustainability, spanning clean energy, supply chain and circularity — all exciting and impactful efforts. Product circularity in particular caught my attention as an area where my skillset could apply and where I thought I could make a contribution.

So I really embraced Cisco’s three E’s for professional development — Exposure, Education, and Experience. I started reading, taking classes, and connecting with Cisco employees working in this field, even before we had our Chief Sustainability Office. Eventually that led to an opportunity for a stretch assignment and my first foray into sustainability-focused work at Cisco.

I’m now focused on circularity — helping to maximize the lifespan of Cisco technology with better processes for product reuse and responsible recycling.

Circularity is an important focus at Cisco. Can you explain what it means and why it’s important?

Christopher: Within Cisco’s environmental sustainability strategy, the Plan for the Possible, one of our three priorities is evolving our business to a circular model.

That means keeping products in use for as long as possible — through reuse, refurbishment, and responsible recycling. Circularity is all about extending the life of technology, reducing waste, and minimizing the need for new raw materials.

We take a holistic approach, covering the entire product life cycle. First, we focus on circular design, which means improving product design for durability and reusability. And that’s top to bottom — from the products themselves to the packaging they come in. Second, we’re creating systems for efficient take-back and product redeployment, and third, we’re developing offerings to support a circular economy. For example, with programs like Cisco Refresh, which sells certified remanufactured equipment, our goal is to enable our customers and partners to adopt circularity.

It sounds like circularity is more than just product design — how do systems and processes play into scaling this effort?

Christopher: Exactly. To scale circularity, we need more than just good product design. We need processes that support efficient take-back, recycling, and reuse.

We’re continuing to investigate ways to do that — gathering insights and exploring ways to develop a scalable approach. There’s an opportunity for us to take an active role in product redeployment, supporting customers who are looking to Cisco to lead the way in product reuse and recycling.

Sustainability at Cisco is a cross-functional practice. How has your prior experience working across teams applied?

Christopher: Many of the skills I developed in my technical and sales roles — like collaborating across teams, aligning business needs with long-term strategy, and problem-solving — translate directly to sustainability initiatives.

Sustainability at Cisco isn’t confined to one team — it requires coordination across multiple business functions. It’s a blend of technical expertise, operational strategy, and relationship-building.

Your commitment to sustainability has been fueled by your passion for the outdoors. Can you share some of your adventures and what you’ve gained from those experiences?

Christopher: I live in Denver, Colorado, and spending time in the natural world is an important part of my life. Skiing, hiking and biking all allow me to connect to nature — and explore my limits. I’m proud to note I competed in the Bailey Hundo four times — an amazing albeit dauting 100-mile mountain bike race with 10,000 feet of elevation gain.

The Colorado Trail holds a special place in my heart — it runs parallel to the Continental Divide, passes through five wilderness areas, and is one of the country’s only long-distance trails that allows bikes. I’ve bikepacked the entire trail — over 550 miles over the course of 20 days.

But beyond the ride and the trail itself, what makes it even more meaningful is the story of how it was created by a group of people who were willing to dream. I’m incredibly inspired by Gudy Gaskill, the “Mother of the Colorado Trail,” who led the all-volunteer effort to create this amazing wilderness route through sheer persistence. She rallied people around a shared vision and kept the project moving forward despite seemingly endless obstacles — physical and bureaucratic.

In many ways, her story mirrors the work being done in sustainability — big change happens through long-term commitment and knocking down roadblocks, step by step. Whether it’s building a wilderness trail along the rugged Continental Divide or shifting an industry toward circularity, it’s about bringing people together, solving problems along the way, and staying focused on the long-term impact.

What advice do you have for Cisco employees to get involved in sustainability?

Christopher: A great way to get involved in sustainability at Cisco is by joining your regional Green Team — these are employee-led groups dedicated to supporting environmental initiatives. I’m active with the Denver Green Team, and it’s been rewarding to see the local impact we can have. We’ve worked on a variety of volunteer projects and community initiatives, including working at an animal sanctuary, wetland remediation, and trail building.

I also encourage anyone interested in sustainability to educate yourself on how  Cisco is driving sustainability impact in our operations and for our customers. A great starting point is our Purpose Reporting Hub. There are insights into our Circular Design program, efficiency goals, and Cisco’s circular offerings, like Cisco Refresh and our no-cost Takeback and Reuse program for end-of-use products. I often say these programs are Cisco’s best kept secrets, and I encourage my colleagues to understand their benefits and to share them with our customers and partners.

I’d also advise people to look at how their skills may transfer to new opportunities. You might be surprised how the skills you’ve developed in other parts of Cisco can pay dividends — whether in sustainability or another area of the business.

What has your journey taught you about driving meaningful change within Cisco?

Christopher: My journey at Cisco has shown me that career growth doesn’t always mean leaving — sometimes, it’s about uncovering new opportunities right where you are.

I’ve also learned that sustainability, like career growth, is a space of constant evolution and opportunity. Cisco has the global reach, influence, and innovation capacity to drive meaningful progress in circularity.

But what resonates with me most is that sustainability requires long-term thinking, persistence, and commitment — just like endurance cycling or trail building.

Big change happens step by step, through dedication, collaboration, and a willingness to adapt along the way.
