Creating a Sustainable Future for Supply Chain and Logistics

The movement towards sustainable logistics and supply chain operations has gained pace in recent months. Many political agendas, organisational agreements and company pledges have moved forward from simply making promises to taking action.

The big question is: what can businesses do now to streamline current operations and plan for a sustainable future that is operationally and financial maintainable?

• The importance of digitalisation and data management throughout supply chains.
• The most effective ways to optimise your current infrastructure capabilities to manage short-term sustainability goals.
• The potential of new logistics initiatives around electrification of fleets; assessing the infrastructural changes required to make this a reality.
• How best to leverage supply chain visibility solutions to drive more sustainable business operations, limiting waste in supply chain processes and maximising capacity usage, along with route optimisation and ETAs to lower CO2 emissions.
