It also draws on research work carried out as part of CTL’s Supply Chain 2020 project.
Leading experts from industry and academia will discuss rising energy costs and the impact on supply chain design and management. Issues on the agenda include the streamlining of distribution networks to reduce energy consumption, new types of packaging, and collaborative programs to develop best practices that support energy efficiency. The line-up of speakers will be announced in coming weeks.
