France Supply Chain by Aslog announces the appointment of Yann de Feraudy as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of ELA (European Logistics Association)

Paris, September 15, 2025

Appointment underlines France's growing influence in European logistics

With this election, the voice of the French supply chain community is further asserted within ELA, which federates 22 national associations and represents over 55,000 industry professionals in Europe and beyond.

On this occasion, Yann de Feraudy declares: "In the field, with France Supply Chain, I have contributed to defining and promoting a supply chain resilience index. This could form part of a future Global Supply Chain Index, which ELA could bring to European level."

ELA actively promotes professional training, innovation and best practice in the logistics industry. Its initiatives include certifications based on the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), annual events such as the ELA Awards, and conferences focusing on sustainability. The association also encourages collaboration between national associations to strengthen the sector.

A new Board of Directors for ELA

At the Annual General Meeting on July 15, 2025, a new Board of Directors was elected. On August 4, members voted to allocate functions within the Board. Here is the composition of the Board:

  • Markus Mau (BVL Germany) - Chairman
  • Ramón García (CEL Spain) - Vice-Chairman
  • Mirek Rumler (CLA Czech Republic) - Vice-Chairman
  • Yann de Feraudy (France Supply Chain by Aslog) - Vice-Chairman
  • Konstantinos Haniotis (HILME Greece) - Vice-Chairman
  • Xavier Rius (ICIL Spain) - Vice-Chairman
  • Jan Eberle (GS1 Switzerland) - Board member
  • Jyri Vilko (LOGY Finland) - Board member

Sharon Kindleysides has been appointed Treasurer.

An index for modernizing logistics performance

Among the high-impact projects supported by ELA is the creation of a European supply chain performance indicator. This would complement and update the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index, which is currently considered insufficient to reflect the current challenges of resilience, sustainability and innovation.
