Net-Zero Carbon EP79 Shape Living For The Better

Decarbonizing freight and logistics is hard, but imperative. In today’s episode we learn from industry-leading practitioners how to “just do it.” Serge Schamschula, Head of Ecosystem at Transporeon, and Marcelo Marcal, Logistics Procurement Director at Electrolux Global, join the show to share best practices on integrating sustainable decision making into freight and logistics procurement. From setting ambitious targets, tracking progress, and collaborating with stakeholders, listeners will learn that positive climate action is possible in this space. And it’s happening sooner than we think. While advanced technologies like battery electric or carbon-neutral fuels are growing, they are long term solutions. To create change in this moment, companies like Electrolux are turning to near-term fixes like modal switch and improved data access and exchange through reporting efforts like CDP supply chain. Tune in and be encouraged to build momentum in your own firm’s decarbonization journey.Brought to you by Chevron Renewable Energy Group.

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to Seko’s Brian Bourke about what’s happening in global trade. We’ll look at air, ocean and trucking markets. Also, it’s not easy being a mom and dad in this field, so we’re talking about the logistics of parenting. Dunavant’s Kelly Lomax drops by the studio to talk about dealing with supply chains in flux. Lomax also talks about recruiting, retention and culture in a world with radically shifting worker priorities. Much like great CGI, well-run entertainment supply chains are nearly invisible to the naked eye. But how do shows, movies and concerts all come together from a freight perspective? Bluebird Express’ Phil Hyland talks about how this time-critical corner of the industry works. We’ll also find out how the Writers Guild strike will trickle down into trucking. Plus, touring a Maersk ship cabin; a new scam targets truckers; Flexport goes trucking; bag a day in May; Disney declares order 66 on a “Star Wars” hotel; and more.Visit our sponsorWatch on YouTubeSubscribe to the WTT newsletterApple PodcastsSpotifyMore FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
