The Covid-19 crisis continues to disrupt automotive production and logistics operations, but it has not alleviated the need to develop greener, more sustainable logistics and production processes. If anything, the crisis has strengthened the need for OEMs and tier suppliers to understand their total supply chains and the impacts that they have on overall emissions and local communities. Meanwhile, with many governments introducing new requirements and regulations, companies must look carefully at compliance, as well as where they can advance and benefit from ‘green new deals’ across the world.
This show will focus on a range of sustainable supply chain solutions across transport mode, equipment and packaging, network design and technology, as well as regulatory impacts and requirements. Together with experts, we will explore how the current crisis will or will not impact companies’ journeys toward more sustainable supply chains, as well as how the automotive industry compares to other sectors.
Gain valuable insights into:
Practical insights into how manufacturers and logistics companies are reducing emissions
Increasing transparency of global supply chain emissions
How sourcing strategies and commercial partnerships are changing in line with greener initiatives
How government standards, regulations and subsidies might influence green logistics
The drive towards a circular economy and waste elimination
What the coronavirus crisis could mean for sustainable logistics and production initiatives
