What are Sustainable Supply Chains about, and the Logistics Expo at once?
You may ask me what the "Sustainable Supply Chains" concept represents. In my opinion, it represents a fundamental shift in how businesses operate. This movement is moving beyond traditional profit-driven models to embrace a holistic approach that considers environmental, social, and economic impacts. It's about building supply networks that reduce carbon emissions in this demanding industry at all stages. This is all to optimize resource utilization and minimize waste throughout the entire supply chain lifecycle.
Sustainability isn't just a cost, it's an investment in long-term viability. Events like the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition co-located with IntraLogisteX and Robotics & Automation play a vital role in accelerating this transformation:
Knowledge exchange and a bit of retail supply chain. The Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition, alongside IntraLogisteX and Robotics & Automation, serves as a vital hub for sharing expert insights and best practices, which empowers attendees with cutting-edge knowledge.
Strategic collaboration. The event fosters cross-sector collaboration, enabling professionals to forge meaningful partnerships and drive collective action towards sustainable supply chain solutions.
Inspiration and innovation for the supply chain industry. Through thought-provoking keynote speakers and dynamic discussions about the supply chain industry. Undoubtedly, the exhibition inspires attendees to challenge conventional thinking and embrace innovative approaches to sustainability.
The Sustainable Supply Chain event gathers a wide range of experts who share insights on the supply chain industry. The main subject focused on the technological and operational advancements crucial for sustainable logistics. For example, Claire Scott highlights the impact of digital transformation on supply chain management, while Adam Coventry and Andrew Southgate bring practical insights into warehouse efficiency. Alastair Taylor addresses stock optimization, and Andy Ingram-Tedd explores the role of advanced automation. Alan Green speaks on the packaging. These speakers provide a deep share of technology and operational improvements. It is what can drive sustainable practices within transportation and supply chain. They represent companies like DSV - Global Transport & Logistics, Netstock, Lyreco, MECALUX, and many others.
