By Göran Wollmer, Schenker AB, Head of Rail Logistics and Forwarding
The general flow of goods between Europe and Asia has developed significantly since the early days of mass production. Even though global transportation buyers still demand the traditional transport modes, such as ship and air freight. The development of land transport systems has caused significant change in the preferred media of transportation through time. An interesting example is the estab lishment of “The New Silk Road” by means of intermodal transportation on railroad between Europe and China. Our speaker Göran Wollmer has been part of the development from the idea was born over the political and practical challenges of realizing the ambitious project and to running the daily operations.

4:10 pm: “Why Now is the Time to Create a Truly Sustainable Supply Chain”
Key Note by Professor Mark Pagell, University College, Dublin
Companies and their stakeholders have been discussing the need to create truly sustainable supply chains for at least two decades. In that time significant progress has been made in reducing the harm that existing supply chains create; the typical supply chain is now significantly more sustainable than it was 20 years ago. However, most if not all of these chains are also inherently unsustainable and the efforts that have been made to date have not addressed the fundamental need to create radical-ly different ways of creating value. This presentation will discuss how companies and their external stakeholders have created the more sustainable trap, how to exit this trap, and why now is an opti-mal time to lead the way to true sustainability.
