Faced with constant environmental challenges, companies are thinking about solutions for logistics that have a lower impact on the environment. However, one subject remains complex: the decarbonisation of maritime transport.
Although innovative solutions, such as biofuels, can currently be deployed, they do not seem to be sustainable in the long term because of the scarcity of energy sources used and the lack of energy sobriety which we absolutely need at global level. Yet maritime transport is a vital part of the functioning of our economy, which is more than ever based on international trade.
With this in mind, FRANCE SUPPLY CHAIN and its Supply Chain4Good Lab, in partnership with the Association des Utilisateurs de Transport de Fret (AUTF), are mobilising to take their approach towards low-carbon maritime transport astep further.
They call for the mobilisation of international shippers, who are at the heart of the virtuous circle of this transition, to join the coalition and become actors of a responsible maritime fleet.
FRANCE SUPPLY CHAIN and the AUTF are already initiating the first concrete actions, with the aim of reaching an industrial scale.
A group already made up of 11 shippers, and set to grow, is committed to loading a series of mostly wind-powered container ships from 2024 onwards, for one or more weekly transatlantic routes between Europe and North America.
Already supported by the Maritime Community, they will launch a call for tenders at the beginning of 2022, the closing date of which is planned for mid-2022, in order to give their action the scope to meet the environmental challenges.
At a time when the world must reinvent itself in the face of major environmental challenges, the Supply Chain, the true nervous system of the economy, is once again proving that it is one of the keys to renewal.
In an increasingly complex world, making the Supply Chain a lever for a more sustainable world is an essential challenge for all companies. This is why France Supply Chain brings relevant solutions to all Supply Chain actors, thanks to its network of 450 affiliated companies and an approach based on collective intelligence.
AUTF is a professional association of shippers, representing industrial and commercial companies in their role as transport contractors. Multi-sectoral and resolutely multimodal, AUTF's action is part of a global approach to improving the economic and environmental performance of transport chains in order to improve the competitiveness of companies and the attractiveness of the territory.

Faced with the lack of attractiveness of the sector, how can vocations be created? What levers could be used to to enhance the value of the professions and change mentalities?
However, e-commerce is at the crossroads of many Supply Chain paths:
Technology... to forecast demand, to take, allocate or execute orders, to allocate inventory...
At France Supply Chain, we know that technology and tools are important, but what is most important is the internal or external teams that we lead that make and will make the difference.
It is by sharing our experiences and co-constructing new solutions that we will make progress in our businesses.
Our manifesto, written at the end of the work carried out during the summer of 2020, is the materialization of our project that we want to be sustainable, in a changing world, where our businesses, highlighted in 2020, are eagerly awaited. This manifesto is proof that together we can go further. Let's trace our path.
Very friendly,
The Supply Chain "Made in France", we want it to be innovative, enterprising, fully aware of its ecological footprint and the new demands of consumers. We want it to be stronger, bigger and more decisive. And always profoundly human and vibrant, like all those who keep its pulse beating on a daily basis.
Our Supply Chain model is agile, connected, resilient. It contributes to the local development of companies as well as to their growth by enabling them to export worldwide. The example of national champions such as Michelin, L'Oréal and Schneider are clear evidence of this. Our sector now employs 1.8 million people in France and we do not intend to stop there.
The shift to a more sustainable production method is inevitable. All the indicators point to the urgency to act, with the Covid-19 health crisis in mind. We are aware of this and we want to be an active part of the change.
Supply that preserves resources, less polluting transport...
Every choice we make is a responsibility.
Within France Supply Chain, the managers of more than 450 companies exchange and find together solutions to fully succeed in the transformation of their companies. The "LABS" that we run are great places for dialogue and progress: best practices, conferences, workshops on digital or sustainable development.
All of these interactions feed in depth into the work of those who are driving the evolution of the profession. A profession that offers first jobs, career stepping stones, and qualifying paths, a profession that gives everyone a chance, and where no barriers stand in the way of success. This is what the Supply Chain is all about, all of which contribute to the sector's influence.
