Supply chain sustainability and resilience remain key themes for the freight and logistics sector. Over the past two years businesses have had to adapt their operations through the pandemic, adjust to new Brexit trading arrangements, work towards decarbonisation targets whilst reacting to global issues, such as the war in Ukraine, and its supply chain ramifications.
Ahead of Multimodal (our preview coverage begins on page 19), Freight Industry Times delves into supply chain sustainability and resilience in more detail. We lead with a look ahead to the upcoming Peak Season with GSF’s James Hookham, who outlines the key factors that together could make or break supply chain performance this year.
