Forum Overview

CO2 emissions from logistics and transportation make up for about 24% of global CO2 emissions. There is no denying that the green movement has taken hold in the supply chain and will continue to gain momentum. Many companies still ask themselves how to reduce carbon emissions and at the same time reduce energy related costs? Some organisations are only getting started on that journey, but many transportation related logistics companies have already taken bold action and discovered that reducing costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions often go hand in hand. Where is your company on this journey? How green and sustainable is YOUR supply chain? The Sustainability in the Supply Chain forum will focus on how a green supply chain can translate into reduced emissions, increased efficiency and lower energy related costs. A number of industry experts will give their perspectives on green initiatives and best practices in the industry that will help your company reduce its carbon footprint and remain sustainable in the long term. Use this opportunity to network and learn from your peers how the logistics industry’s landscape has changed and what measures your company can take to be an early mover and harvest the benefits of a green supply chain. Cut emissions. Cut costs. Who is Attending The executive forum will gather senior executives from key companies including manufacturing companies,logistics providers and consultancy firms.
