Transforming Transport: Digitalization, Sustainability, and Compliance in Transport & Logistics
This series brings together top experts and thought leaders to explore how digitalization, carbon-based accounting, and data transparency are driving sustainability and compliance in the rapidly evolving transport and logistics sector. Attendees will gain insights into the latest EU regulations, including eFTI and the Digital Product Passport (DPP), and learn how to leverage cutting-edge technologies to meet these requirements. Whether you're focused on reducing your carbon footprint or enhancing operational efficiency, this series will provide actionable strategies for navigating the future of logistics.
Building Trust in Data Exchange in the Digital Market
In the age of digitalization, seamless data exchange across borders and industries is critical for logistics and transport to function efficiently. However, trust and transparency remain significant concerns, particularly when sensitive data—such as emissions, shipping routes, and customer information—is shared. This panel will explore how logistics companies can overcome the challenges of establishing secure, trusted, and transparent data exchanges, ensuring compliance with regulations like the EU’s eFTI, which demands that electronic freight transport information be shared digitally. The discussion will highlight the role of emerging technologies, including blockchain, encryption, and secure cloud platforms, in fostering trust and collaboration among stakeholders while protecting the integrity and privacy of data.

The Role of Carbon-based Accounting in Transport & Logistics Digitalization
As climate change pressures mount and sustainability becomes a core strategic goal for the logistics industry, carbon-based accounting is emerging as a vital tool for assessing and reducing environmental impacts. This panel will explore how transport and logistics companies are integrating carbon accounting into their digital infrastructure to meet the European Union’s stringent sustainability regulations, including the EU eFTI (electronic Freight Transport Information) and climate-related targets. The discussion will focus on how accurate carbon tracking can improve transparency, enhance operational efficiency, and bolster environmental reporting in alignment with both internal sustainability goals and external regulatory requirements. The panel will also examine the challenges posed by inconsistent methodologies, data collection issues, and the complexities of global supply chains.
Meeting the EU eFTI and DPP Standards through Digitalization in Transport & Logistics
The European Union is setting the bar high with new regulations like the EU eFTI and Digital Product Passport (DPP), aiming to create a more transparent, sustainable, and digitally integrated market. This panel will delve into how transport and logistics companies can leverage digital transformation to meet these stringent regulatory requirements while maintaining competitiveness. From streamlining freight transport documentation to implementing the Digital Product Passport (which tracks and traces a product’s environmental footprint), the discussion will highlight the crucial role digital tools play in ensuring compliance. The conversation will also explore the broader benefits of digitalization, such as operational efficiency, reduced paperwork, and improved sustainability metrics, while acknowledging the challenges of transitioning to fully digital systems.
Sustainability and Digital Transformation in Logistics
Sustainability is no longer an optional consideration—it’s becoming a core operational pillar in logistics. Digital transformation offers powerful tools to reduce emissions, improve resource efficiency, and cut waste. This panel will focus on how the logistics industry can use digital technologies to transform their sustainability strategies, making their operations more eco-friendly while enhancing their bottom line. Key areas of discussion will include real-time data analytics, digital twins for logistics optimization, and AI-driven decision-making that reduces fuel consumption and emissions. Panelists will also address the barriers to adoption, particularly for smaller firms, and explore strategies for overcoming these hurdles.
The Future of Data-Driven Sustainability in Global Trade
As the global trade landscape becomes increasingly digital and complex, the logistics sector is under pressure to adopt data-driven strategies that promote sustainability while ensuring compliance with international and regional regulations. This panel will explore the future of sustainability in global trade, with a particular focus on how data transparency, digital technologies, and cross-border collaboration will shape the next decade. Topics will include the role of real-time emissions tracking, predictive analytics, and digital twin technologies in creating more resilient and sustainable global supply chains. The discussion will also cover the evolving expectations from consumers, governments, and stakeholders for greater accountability in the environmental impact of logistics.
