The aim of sustainable logistics is to minimize the environmental impact of logistics while ensuring economic efficiency and assuming social responsibility. Modern concepts of the circular economy enable companies to use resources more efficiently, minimize waste and make supply chains more sustainable. At the same time, regulatory requirements such as the CSRD require transparent and comprehensive reporting on sustainability measures.
From e-trucks and innovative charging infrastructures to new mobility concepts - the logistics sector must find new ways to reduce emissions and establish climate-friendly transport solutions.
However, change will only succeed if sustainability is also actively practiced within companies. A strong sustainability community promotes internal exchange, raises employee awareness and drives innovation.
Participants can expect a practical and interactive discussion of current challenges and best practices:
Global tensions, trade conflicts and geopolitical power shifts are influencing the economy and supply chains more than ever before. Geopolitics & Supply Chains focuses on the key challenges and adaptation strategies.
How do geopolitical developments affect trade, production and logistics? What strategies help companies to become more resilient? Industry experts will share insights, best practices and solutions for a resilient supply chain.
And this is what it's all about in detail:
When asked about the primary trends in logistics and supply chain management, companies continue to attach immense importance to the lack of skilled labour in terms of their own corporate adaptability.
However, the shift towards competence-oriented organizations and ensuring employability against the backdrop of the use of digital technologies and AI tools are also increasingly in focus. Transformation is an ongoing process; the path to an AI-supported organization is seen as the key to the future of companies. NOW is the time to reorganize workplaces to maintain the ability to innovate.
These are the key topics:
Logistics service providers, especially in the maritime sector, are facing far-reaching changes. Efficiency, sustainability and resilience are crucial in order to survive in a dynamic market. Maritime logistics is considered the basis of international trade, as around 90% of global goods traffic is handled by sea. Corporate strategies will be discussed and success stories presented at BVL Supply Chain CX. Tools and projects that can make the difference in operational business round off the offer.
Digital transformation is a key driver of competitiveness in logistics. The focus on the digitalization of supply chains sheds light on developments along the entire value chain - from strategic visions to concrete implementation and disruptive innovations by new market players.
Digital technologies enable connected, transparent and agile logistics networks. Companies benefit from real-time data, intelligent automation solutions and data-driven decision-making processes. The sessions on this key topic offer practical insights into challenges, success factors and future trends:
The ongoing automation and technological transformation are reshaping logistics. The Technology & Automation focus area highlights groundbreaking developments in robotics and automation, including their integration with AI.
Modern robotic systems and automation solutions enable companies to optimize their processes, reduce costs, and simultaneously increase flexibility and scalability. Whether AI-driven warehouse and transport logistics, autonomous vehicles, or innovative software solutions – the latest technologies create new opportunities for the entire supply chain.
The focus will be on the following points
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are transforming logistics at a rapid pace. But how can they be implemented in practice - hands-on?
The focus of AI & Machine Learning is not only on the latest technological developments, but above all on the question of how companies can successfully integrate AI into their value chains. While self-learning algorithms, predictive analytics and generative AI enable enormous efficiency gains, there is also a certain reluctance to implement them. The reason: technological progress is rapid, but regulatory pressure is growing at the same time - an area of tension that is causing many companies to hesitate.
If you don't act now, you risk being left behind. At BVL Supply Chain CX, there will be an interactive and practical discussion on the key topics of this transformation: What strategies will enable successful implementation? How can companies take advantage of opportunities without being held back by regulatory hurdles?
