Green and sustainable logistics – zero emissions at 100% performance

Beyond the wide-reaching effects of climate change on supply chain execution, governments, customers and investors are pushing a shift towards more ecologically sound practices across the supply chain. From sustainable sourcing methods and renewable materials to carbon offset options, plastic-free packaging and circular product lifecycles, sustainable supply chain is more than just a buzzword. Zero-emissions logistics has become a big topic of consideration as many businesses look to long-term solutions with sustainable network design. Impact on the planet is only one element of sustainability to consider – the effects on its human workers are an equally important part of the sustainability equation. Europe has seen an increase in lawmakers concerned with working conditions in logistics, both in Europe and overseas.

Supply chains are in constant motion – and innovation promises to speed up the rate of change. With all these developments, businesses need to know where to focus their efforts to ensure the future viability of their supply chains. The 4flow trend monitor will provide a trend outlook highlighting important developments expected to have an impact on supply chain in the next one to five years.
