Sustainable logistics: How to deliver “fast” and “green” in last-mile delivery by Josué Velázquez Martínez

Urbanisation and e-commerce growth (omni-channel) will increase transportation movements in the years to come. The challenge many companies face is how to deliver products fast and keep high utilisation and low fuel consumption (CO2 emissions). In this presentation, Prof.  Velázquez Martínez will discuss the new trends in logistics sustainability that provide ideas to optimise the last-mile delivery by using technology and data analytics, and how companies can drive consumer behaviour via the use of environmental impacts during e-commerce.

The green energy supply chain by Nils Löhndorf

Industry is increasingly turning towards renewable energies to decrease its carbon footprint and protect itself from commodity price fluctuations. This presentation explores the risks and benefits associated with procurement and production of renewables to satisfy industrial power consumption as well as opportunities and threats of demand response in industrial production.

Maersk is the world’s largest container shipping company. It is fully subscribed to corporate sustainability by working systematically to reduce the negative and enhance the positive impact on people, society and the environment and by addressing global challenges through innovation, investment and collaboration

In her key-note, Annette Stube, Head of Group Sustainability at Maersk Group will address the responsibilities of companies towards society in relation to sustainability. Using Maersk as the starting point, Annette will look at which sustainability strategy a company might choose and how the sustainability strategy might be integrated within an overarching business strategy.

Climate change is a reality and will increase in scale in the coming years. Annette will present Maersk’s measures towards greening it’s supply chain, their efforts to driving the industry in greening and will look at the key rewards to be gained from these efforts.

Ongoing climate change will force companies to adjust their supply chains accordingly and to respond to the effects of climate change according to the anticipated developments. Annette will discuss preparation tactics towards the different aspects of climate change and how to incorporate sustainability into these preparations, illustrating how the commitment of Maersk towards these global challenges also brings key-rewards that justify the efforts.

Measuring supply chain resilience by Anne Lange

Recent catastrophic events, such as the Japan earthquake or Thailand floods, have dramatically affected companies worldwide. In modern complex supply chains, such events can brew problems in unpredicted ways. Can we improve the resilience of such complex supply chains? Analysing their structure allows to identify critical locations in the supply chains – and prevention can then be taken from there. This talk presents metrics that build on the structure of the logistics network. It will show how these metrics identify critical production sites or suppliers. In doing so, the metrics provide knowledge on the resilience of a supply chain without requiring extensive simulation. Hence, the metrics support companies in supply chain risk management.
