Supply Chain Day 2025: what can we learn from the day?
Supply Chain Day is an opportunity to look back on the major achievements of the association and its members, and to follow their development. This 2025 edition marks a turning point with a major change for France Supply Chain: twice as many productions, the creation of an endowment fund, new strategic partnerships and even more committed governance.
Discover in pictures the key moments and messages of the Annual General Meeting and the digital learning expedition that followed.
A new Board of Directors, but above all continuity
Chairmanship and Co-Chairmanship: changes to the bylaws
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, a major amendment to the bylaws was proposed concerning the association's governance. The presidency will remain unchanged in terms of required qualifications: the president must be a shipper, responsible for an international supply chain. However, a major innovation has been introduced, with the possibility of appointing a co-chairman. The co-chairman, who may be retired or have a reduced activity, must also come from College 1 shipper and have managed an international supply chain over the last five years. This measure is designed to relieve the Chairman of the many requests to attend meetings, and to distribute the workload more evenly.
Renewed governance, as committed as ever
New members and renewed mandates on the France Supply Chain Board of Directors
The Board of Directors (BOD) of an association plays a crucial role in the governance and management of the organization. It has a versatile and essential role, ranging from strategic definition to operational management, including representation and supervision. It is the guarantor of the association's smooth running and long-term viability, in direct contact with the team of permanent staff and active members.
At France Supply Chain, the Board of Directors takes the form of a "comité des sages" or scientific committee. It is made up of a diversity of profiles and complementary expertise: manufacturers, distributors, logistics service providers, academics, researchers, solution providers, real estate players, etc.
Following a vote at the Annual General Meeting, the Board will be given new responsibilities, in particular the management of membership fees, previously the responsibility of the Annual General Meeting. This reform will allow greater flexibility, as the Board meets four times a year, unlike the General Meeting, which only meets once a year. This reorganization is essential to keep pace with the association's growth, and requires greater commitment from its members. It is crucial that directors are available and involved to ensure effective and proactive management.
An association on the move for ever more IMP'ACT!
The Association steps up a gear
The past year has been marked by a significant transformation of France Supply Chain, aimed at increasing its impact. The association has forged several strategic partnerships, such asAlliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ALICE) and Movin'On, giving it a European dimension and strengthening its ability to build powerful coalitions.
Other collaborations withADEME and the Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales (IDDRI) will add scientific depth, enriching the association's roadmaps and making its deliverables more robust. These partnerships are the fruit of growing recognition of the quality of France Supply Chain's productions, which have seen the number of publications double compared to the previous year, with almost one per month.

A newcomer: the SUPPLY CHAIN 4 GOOD Endowment Fund
To support this growth, Lab Supply Chain 4 Good is transforming itself into an endowment fund. This change will give the association access to both financial and skills sponsorship. Skills sponsorship is particularly crucial to our ability to produce faster and, above all, to enhance the quality of our deliverables.
This endowment represents a major step forward, providing the resources needed to continue innovating and responding to the complex challenges of the Supply Chain, while strengthening the association's ability to influence and transform the sector towards frugal and desirable Supply Chains.
Human Resources are always at the heart of our work
Focus on inclusion: we have launched a discussion group on the inclusion of disabled and senior employees. The aim is to hold a Masterclass at the end of the year, with contributions from experts, specialist organizations and witnesses, in order to share best practices and answer questions.

LAB Jeunes renews itself
The new organization of Lab Jeunes aims to ensure its durability and impact by structuring it into centers of expertise, and by strengthening the support provided by PMOs/permanent members/former Lab Jeunes members who are now active.
A strong message: "Young people are ready to take risks, assume responsibility, and carry out projects with courage and ambition. However, this dynamic cannot be one-sided: the courage of young people must be supported by the commitment of mentors."

With design fiction, participants are immersed in a future that is contextualized, and which can be contextualized to your own sectors and companies. This workshop can be used as part of a collective awakening process, to improve your preparedness for climate risks, or to feed the supply chain strategic plan on risk and resilience aspects.

Live my life as a squad
A strong message for the Digital & Techno LAB: no AI without data! With this in mind, during the morning, members presented how their work enables companies to gain in digital maturity, with a focus on data (quality, governance), which has been accentuated in 2025. The CO2 calculation and data component is also fully linked to the pillars of digital maturity and data! Here, the aim is to use data to limit and then reduce the supply chain's carbon footprint.

In the afternoon, the program was dedicated to digital transformations, with a learning expedition led by members at the Nano-innov center, and hosted by SIEMENS:
Today, we are at a turning point. What we have already achieved is immense. But what lies ahead is even greater. Every action counts. Every commitment, every transformation brings us closer to our goal. Together, we are building a more efficient, more resilient, more humane model.
