Container Supply Chain Conference 'Sustainability Day' Wednesday 19th October / 14:30 - 15:30 GMT-5
Sustainability has often been dissociated from profitability, limiting its role in maritime & logistics to a ticking-a-box type of actions. Yet, the growing need for more sustainable port & terminal operations is driving investors and decision-makers to look at this matter from a different perspective, incorporating the environmental and social effect of their operations as part of their business models’ KPIs. Furthermore, in the context of decarbonisation and according to the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), decarbonisation in the region could generate 15 million new jobs overall and an additional 100,000 full-time jobs in the renewable electricity sector by 2030.
This effort, however, requires collaboration across the entire supply chain, and includes both the public and private sector to guarantee a sustainable transformation of the sector in the long-term.
What does it mean to be sustainable?
How can sustainability become profitable? What can ports & terminals do to capitalize on sustainability actions and guarantee a tangible ROI?
How should port authorities rethink their business models in the context of environmental & social sustainability?
How can ports attract energy carriers, industries, and consumers beyond shipping to gain critical mass?
Incorporating ESG metrics as a KPI for maritime & logistics, and how to capitalize on this.
