On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of France Supply Chain
France Supply Chain has been involved in the promotion of the Supply Chain function and its professions for 50 years now. Our members cooperate to imagine and design contents and tools necessary for the production of value for companies wishing to have a positive environmental and societal impact.
The association moves forward with an approach based on collective intelligence allowing the development of responsible solutions to meet the permanent challenges faced by companies.
Since January 2022, initiatives for the planet, people and performance have been growing:
- Co-creation with AUTF of the Association of shippers for a decarbonised maritime transport, to launch a call for tenders aiming at deploying solutions for the transport of cargoes with veiled propulsion from 2024
- Commitment of a community of hauliers and shippers to the decarbonisation of road transport with electric hydrogen trucks
- Creation of a Youth Lab to give them a voice and attract talent to the supply chain professions
- Working with My Job Glasses to educate and showcase our members' jobs to help young people find their way in the form of mentoring
- Publication of RPA and Cybersecurity white papers with Wavestone on process automation and digital risk, two major challenges for the Supply Chain
And a multitude of other actions...
On June 17, 2022, France Supply Chain organizes the Supply Chain Day, an event during which its General Assembly will be held. It is time for the association to define its strategic axes, to choose its guidelines for the years to come.
Already 50 years old, and yet this is only the beginning of this dynamic for a more sustainable supply chain.
HIGHLIGHTS
More women leaders in the supply chain
Logistics provider GXO has signed a partnership with the European organisation LEAD (Leading Executives Advancing Diversity), which aims to attract, retain and advance women in the retail and consumer goods industry in Europe. According to GXO, this partnership would be an opportunity to increase its pool of talented female leaders in the logistics sector. To this end, the 3PL is focusing on providing access to tools and resources to advance the careers of its female leaders. This initiative is of interest because, while women are very numerous in the logistics industry, they are still largely in the minority in the most senior positions. This phenomenon can be seen on many occasions, such as galas or professional congresses, where there is still a real imbalance in the representation of men and women. One might think that this situation will fade with the large number of future female graduates in specialised training courses (universities, engineering and business schools) in recent years. However, it must be said that for the moment the proportion of female managers is still too low in the supply chain sector. Faced with this reality, all initiatives aimed at encouraging female leadership are welcome. It is in the interest of these young women who will find real fulfilment in the management positions they can legitimately occupy; but it is also in the interest of our entire professional community which must be nourished by the skills but also by the values and human qualities of female applicants. Clearly, the future of the supply chain depends on a greater number of female executives.
