Sustainability can become advantage through supply chain transformation
Increased focus on sustainability, global socio-economic changes and evolving consumer demands are resulting in logistics companies facing supply chain disruptions. In particular, they are addressing the reduction of CO 2 emissions at all levels of the supply chain and the increasing volume of e-commerce. Investment in digitalisation and infrastructure will become increasingly important in the fight against supply chain disruption. More investment, cooperation and acquisitions are also expected in the area of sustainability. The events of the last few years have made it clear that companies need to build agile and resilient supply chains. This not only makes it easier for them to respond to disruptions, but also supports other strategic objectives, including sustainability. Resilient networks with integrated, data-driven planning and processed with appropriate technology enable real-time visibility of supply chains. Skills shortages, cybercrime and supply chain disruption are major challenges for logistics today.
