Handling equipment: How to meet the energy challenges of today's and tomorrow's warehouse?

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

In a context where companies are implementing solutions to reduce their energy consumption and their carbon footprint, intralogistics is attracting more and more interest. Today, having an optimised and agile intralogistics is a competitive advantage. Companies are looking for new technologies, sources of energy for more efficiency, profitability and sustainability.

On 31 May, France Supply Chain organised a webinar with the companies EOL, Fenwick, Evolis Sympo and Andine to find out which innovations to implement for its handling equipment fleet (webinar replay below).

Supply Chain x Cybersecurity

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

On April 22, 2022, within the Digital Lab, France Supply Chain and Wavestone published the Supply Chain x Cybersecurity White Paper, dedicated to the problems of digital risk, a major challenge for the Supply Chain. After several months of work on this theme, on April 15 we organised a webinar to present the publication, which you can find at the end of this article.

Supply Chain Decarbonisation: The Shift Project x SupplyChain4Good collaboration

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

In 2021, we have drafted a manifesto for a sustainable supply chain and our aim is to have a living document that we continuously enrich with the experiences and projects of our members.

We would like to open up our work to other reference associations that also work for the decarbonisation of the economy. In this context, exchanges have been initiated with "The Shift Project".

Accelerating the energy transition of the supply chain

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

The climate emergency, coupled with the crisis of the covid, reveals the importance of decarbonising the energies produced and consumed, and of developing short energy circuits. Beyond the sense of history, there are the regulatory constraints linked to the challenges of sustainable investment and the energy needs of territories. This context, in the grip of ambitious European obligations to generalise green energy, places the supply chain as a producer and source of energy for the territories.

On 22 March, France Supply Chain organised a conference with LLC Avocats to find out how to take action on carbon energy issues. The objective of this conference was to go beyond the regulatory constraints by highlighting the environmental and economic benefits of energy projects with regard to the specificities of the Supply Chain.

CO2e Measurement Across Supply Chain by SupplyChain4Good

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

From a BCG survey of 1,290 companies in 2021, we know that :

85%

of organisations consider themselves concerned about reducing their emissions

9%

are able to measure their emissions comprehensively

11%

have reduced their emissions in line with their stated ambitions over the last five years

More broadly, respondents to this study estimate an average error rate of 30-40% in the measurement of their emissions.

Following the publication of the 6th IPCC report and the ambitions shared by The Shift Project in their Plan for the Transformation of the French Economy, it is clear that organisations are not up to the challenge.

This is why the SupplyChain4Good LAB is launching the "CO2e Measurement Across Supply Chain" project

To carry out this project, we are launching a survey to assess the impact of companies. The more people who participate, the more we can move forward together on low carbon best practice.

Participate

The objectives

  • Diagnose current CO2e measurement practices in supply chains.
  • Examine the prospects for improving measurement practices (automation, collaboration, granularity, completeness, etc.).
  • Agreeing on a targeted level of accuracy of CO2e measurement that could support the steering of the transition to a low-carbon economy with reasonable effort

Deliverables

  • Survey of all participants to assess the maturity of impact measurement, priorities and current concerns regarding existing methodologies.
  • Diagnosis of current impact measurement practices related to the value chain; the level of completeness, granularity, frequency and accuracy should be assessed and challenged
  • Best Practice Guide / Set of recommendations on the level of measurement targeted for each axis identified in the diagnosis and survey
  • SupplyChain4Good approved" label and/or commitment of all participants to adopt the recommended practices.
  • Proof of Concepts adapted to the revealed needs of the participants

White Paper - Supply Chain x RPA 2022

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

In a context of ever-increasing competitive pressure, the supply chain must transform itself to become more integrated and digital, and thus gain in agility and resilience. Increasing productivity and competitiveness are key objectives that the supply chain must achieve.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is therefore becoming a major challenge for the supply chain in order to automate time-consuming processes (data entry, master data management, sending documents, etc.). This automation frees up time for operators and guarantees the integrity of data, time that can be reinvested in higher value-added tasks such as those geared towards customer satisfaction. RPA can be implemented in all companies, from SMEs to multinationals, and in all sectors of activity.

What are the prospects for hydrogen-powered heavy goods vehicles for freight transport?

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

Heavy goods vehicles are known to produce the majority of the negative externalities linked to carbon emissions. For several years now, companies have been striving to adopt more responsible solutions in order to make their supply chain greener.

Hydrogen is becoming one of the most studiedalternative energies for the creation of clean vehicles for goods transport. As it is not used enough, there are many questions about its functioning, its deployment prospects, its advantages, its obstacles...

On 16 February, France Supply Chain and France Hydrogène organised an event to answer all these questions. Several speakers met in order to inform and accompany the actors of the supply chain of goods transport wishing to engage or already working on the topic of the electric truck with hydrogen for goods transport.

During this event, the Mobilité Hydrogène France group of France Hydrogène presented its White Paper dedicated to the deployment of the electric hydrogen truck in France.

Corporate sustainability: understanding and using the European taxonomy

Written by webm@ster the . Published in News-semi-public-privees.

Making businesses even stronger and more resilient. This is the objective of the European taxonomy introduced in 2020. It is defined through a classification of so-called "green" economic activities. Luca Silipo, head of GEODIS and creator of the GEODIS WorldLab, provides an overview and explanation.

A complex but essential subject since its introduction in 2020, the European taxonomy aims to provide financial incentives for the sustainable transition of EU-based companies and provides them with a framework to position themselves at the forefront of the fight against climate change. Requiring a significant accounting effort, they concern companies with more than 500 employees that are already obliged to communicate on their extra-financial reporting and require them to specify the share of their turnover, investments and expenditure in so-called "green" activities.
