Leading figures in the logistics sector discuss in a panel entitled \"Logistics and Sustainable Mobility\" with the aim of achieving an environmentally friendly supply chain 4.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sustainability, social responsibility and sustainable development objectives were the key issues at the 2nd Sustainability Day entitled \"Logistics and sustainable mobility\".<\/strong>. Around a table located in Florida Universit\u00e0ria, leading professionals from the sector debated in favour of a great objective: that green logistics becomes a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This event, organised by Florida Universit\u00e0ria and the Valencian entity Caixa Popular, was moderated by Gabino de Diego, CEO of Foro de Log\u00edstica. It was also attended by speakers of great relevance in the sector, such as: Ram\u00f3n Valdivia, General Director of ASTIC; Sergio Altur, CEO of UPALET; Alberto Moreno, General Director of T-Box Delivery & Solutions; and Raquel Est\u00edbaliz, Sustainability and Environment Project Manager of In Side Logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This annual initiative is held to promote education as a fundamental axis for the development of a society that is more committed to the environment. This is the only way to will increasingly move towards a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable model.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the opening of the conference, the General Director of Florida Grup Educatiu, Enrique Garc\u00eda, stressed that \"the SDGs are an intrinsic part of the university's corporate philosophy\". Proof of this is that Florida Universit\u00e0ria has become part of a Valencian research laboratory whose aim is to highlight the benefits that lead Valencian companies to develop and make sustainability a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pac\u00f3 Al\u00f3s, director of Social Responsibility and Institutional Relations at Caixa Popular, also stressed the importance of holding this conference at the inauguration due to the institution's close relationship with education and its effective transfer to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the presentation, Juan Medina, Ambassador of the European Climate Pact and Councillor for Ecological Transition and Climate Change of Quart de Poblet, and Ram\u00f3n Valdivia, General Director of ASTIC started discussing climate neutrality and mobility in the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"<\/strong>We put a lot of emphasis on sustainable transport efforts, but a strong transport sector is needed for fresh produce to arrive. Many points have to be balanced in order to achieve sustainability\".<\/strong>said Ram\u00f3n Valdivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ASTIC's director general explained that although they are already working towards CO2 neutrality, they still face difficulties in terms of the type of fuel that can be applied to road transport. \"Biofuels, eco-fuels, are still very expensive and an electric truck is not viable,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a possible solution, Ram\u00f3n Valdivia proposed the implementation of co-modality and finding a balance between sustainability and efficiency, as this is the only way to coordinate green logistics and the important challenges still facing road transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Despite the challenges, we must take action in cities to curb everything that is generating climate change,\" commented Juan Medina. In this line, he began to explain the projects that are being developed in the framework of the European programmes on sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After these two inaugural conferences, the panel entitled \"Logistics and sustainable mobility\" began, moderated by Gabino Diego, CEO of FDL. In this panel discussion, the participants explained the sustainable model that they are developing in their companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Raquel Estibalez explained the small and large-scale actions that In Side Logistics is taking to achieve zero emissions by 2050. \"It is a very ambitious challenge for which we are preparing by measuring everything. We started to measure the warehouse and transport part, looking at the carbon footprint we generate both in terms of light and fuel. And it's working, although it's not easy. We made an action plan and we were awarded the Lean&Green prize, which we are very satisfied with\".<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alpesa and UPALET made it clear at the round table that they are also working to turn logistics into a tool for achieving sustainability. \"Our cardboard pallet, which is already recycled, has added value both economically and in terms of cost reduction. We have managed to make it useful and efficient for the European market and at a competitive price,\" said UPALET's CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have to redirect the supply chain, which is why we are looking for automated warehouses for stock management in cities, urban vehicles, and the technology has to be up to date to be at the service of operations to improve efficiency\", said Alberto Moreno, Managing Director of T-Box Delivery & Solutions. He concluded that, thanks to this system, the company has been able to improve operations and, in addition, reduce emissions by 79%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, it is thanks to the contributions of these supply chain experts and their companies' efforts to achieve sustainability, the goal of green logistics is getting closer and closer.<\/strong> Each of them has made one thing clear, that by working together, it will be possible to achieve the neutrality of the supply chain. <\/em> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Grandes figuras dentro del sector log\u00edstico debaten en un panel titulado \u201cLog\u00edstica y Movilidad sostenible\u201d con el objetivo de lograr una cadena de suministro 4.0 respetuosa con el medio ambiente La sostenibilidad, la responsabilidad social y los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible fueron las claves protagonistas de la II Jornada de Sostenibilidad titulada como \u201cLog\u00edstica y […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-logistica"],"yoast_head":"\n
