Major retailers are taking an increasingly proactive approach to sustainable procurement, including carbon footprint and waste reduction, plus ethical sourcing policies. While current initiatives are largely voluntary and market-driven, more stringent policy regimes may also loom on the horizon at both national and international level.
Speakers at the 3rd Cool Logistics conference will explore the impact of these issues on perishable logistics and transport, including maritime, air and landside distribution, at a time of continued pressure to take operational costs out of cold supply chains. More than ever, efficiency appears to be the mantra. But what does this mean in practice and can common efficiency solutions be found to address sustainability and cost concerns?
The conference will also review the extent to which predicted transport capacity constraints, particularly for reefer containers, are impacting perishable supply chain planning and execution, and how to respond.
Continuing the successful format of 2009, Cool Logistics 2010 includes a 2-day conference plus half-day pre-conference workshop, exploring how technology innovations can generate operational efficiencies and cost savings.
As the annual forum for the global perishable transport and logistics industry, Cool Logistics brings together stakeholders from production to retail to provide a unique 360o perspective on business challenges and opportunities along the cold supply chain.
