The Beekly: TransPak's Head of ESG & Sustainability
TransPak designs and manufactures custom industrial packaging and crating for some of the world's most demanding supply chains — think medical devices, aerospace components, and high-value electronics moving through 80+ sites worldwide. When a logistics and packaging supplier has to prove itself to procurement teams at Fortune 500 customers, sustainability and resilience stop being a compliance checkbox and start being a competitive edge.
Join us for a conversation with Kyle Roland, who leads ESG and Sustainability at TransPak. Before this, Kyle spent years on the vendor side of the industry — at Proof, building ESG data infrastructure for corporate and financial services clients — so he's seen sustainability from both sides of the table: as a practitioner inside an industrial company, and as someone who used to sell the software.
We'll talk about:
How a physical, global logistics business thinks about supply chain resilience when there's no regulation forcing the issue
Why resilience is becoming a real differentiator in customer due diligence and procurement audits
The shift happening across sustainability teams — from emissions reporting toward business continuity, insurance, and disaster preparedness — and what that means for how the function gets funded and staffed going forward
What it actually takes for a mid-market industrial supplier to compete with smaller, regional players on credibility and preparedness
