2. Urbanisation and City Logistics: 12:00 – 13:00
 
With an increasing proportion of Europe’s population living in cities, how these growing urban areas are served in terms of logistics is critical to their successful functioning. Competition for the use of limited transport infrastructure especially roads and railways is increasing. What role will regulators play in the development of City Logistics strategies? How can new technologies and Big Data make road use more efficient? What are the environmental imperatives to sustainable logistics strategies?

4. Ethics & Sustainability: 15:30 – 16:30

 

Ethical behaviour and commitment to environmentally sustainable practices need not be at the expense of profitability. Best practices in logistics and supply chain bring together ethics, sustainability and bottom line performance in a holistic approach which provides companies with a ‘triple advantage’. What is a ‘Social Licence to Operate’ and how does it work? How can ‘green and gold’ practices release economic value? What are the risks to companies of ignoring or not investigating the behaviour of their suppliers? This session brings together speakers who will identify best practice and how it can make a difference to the supply chain and logistics industry.

Moderator: Kim Winter, Global Chief Executive Officer, Logistics Executive

6. Terrorism, criminality and supply chain risk: 11:30 – 12:30
 
The security situation in Syria and parts of Africa has had major implications for supply chains in Europe and highlighted their vulnerability not only to criminal activity, but also to the intervention by regulatory authorities. Firstly the refugee crisis and latterly the terrorist atrocities in France have led to the closure of borders in the Schengen area. What impact will this have on European distribution models based on the free flow of goods? How likely is it that border controls will be reinstated? What can supply chain and logistics companies do to reduce risk in their supply chains?
