TRACK THEME: SUSTAINABILITY

Preparing your logistics operation for CSRD

Speaker: Auke Annema, Business Consultant

Measuring and reporting on carbon emissions will become mandatory from 2024 onwards. Within the recently adopted Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in Europe, large companies must report on “Scope 3” emissions, including the CO2 emissions of (outsourced) transportation.

Do you want to know how to prepare your logistics operation for the upcoming European regulations on CO2 measurement and reporting? Then join this short presentation and learn how to embed sustainability reporting in your day-to-day logistics operation.

Auke Annema, business consultant at BigMile, will share some industry examples of lowering the transport-related carbon footprint by optimizing supply chain planning. He will also talk about the next big thing: nitrogen oxide (NOx).

Saving costs decarbonizing the supply chain

How to improve conversion with dynamic sustainable last mile solutions

Speaker: Pieter van den Hoven, Founder

Customers are demanding fast & sustainable delivery options and above all.... choice. In this session we tackle the following questions:

• What effect does last-mile- delivery have on ecommerce and supply chain?
• How do you position last-mile delivery as a value driver?
• How do you implement sustainable delivery options? 
• How do you implement an omnichannel delivery strategy?

e-Commerce Chain Control: no fiction, but friction

Speaker: Dr. Roland Slegers-Leijsten, Consultant, CEO DeliveryMatch

The rise of e-commerce has led to a more complex logistics chain with an increasing demand for better service, reliability, choice, and sustainability from consumers. These developments require a different approach and better chain integration. Unfortunately, logistics operations are often not taken into account when developing sales concepts, resulting in frictions in the chain and leading to higher costs, increased CO2 emissions, and reduced customer satisfaction.

A significant challenge in this regard is data and system integration in the chain. Often, the data is incomplete or spread across multiple systems, and the systems are not fully integrated. It is important that the (master) data in the chain's systems are fully filled with correct data, and an independent Chain Control Platform is developed that can retrieve, process, store and use real-time data for every transaction to plan and control the execution, monitor, and report. This can reduce frictions in the logistics chain and contribute to better service, sustainability, and customer satisfaction.

Supply chain risk through the lens of sustainability

Speaker: Thomas Buch Andersson, CEO and co-founder of Responsibly

Sustainability risk management - From risk identification through data collection and assessment towards mitigation and impact.

As supply chain due diligence legislation is being passed and implemented across Europe the need for solid sustainability risk management systems has never been more urgent. Unfortunately, traditional risk management systems are not equipped to deal with the sustainability risk landscape. Sustainability risk is incredibly complicated, because it spans widely different topics all the way from social parameters such as child and forced labor to environmental parameters such as biodiversity and water pollution. The newly enacted German Supply Chain Act alone covers 17 impact parameters and the CSRD and CSDD will be even more extensive. To complicate the issue even further, sufficient risk management in each of these impact areas requires deep subject matter expertise. Where in your supply chain might there be risk of child labour? How do you assess it and perhaps most importantly, how do you ensure sufficient risk mitigation and impact? 

Luckily, you personally don’t need to be the subject matter expert. You don’t need to hire for it either. Utilizing data and frameworks that already exist will help you set up a stellar sustainability risk management system to comply with regulation and ultimately make an impact with your purchasing organization.

In this talk, we’ll go through how you can and should leverage pre-existing frameworks set out by internationally recognized organizations to identify risk, understand the existing data landscape and where your most severe data gaps are. Ultimately, equipping you to approach the following questions:

• What should you assess?
• What are the risks and how severe are they?
• What data should you collect and how?
• How do you mitigate the risks and what level of mitigation compliance are you comfortable with?
