Supply chain reinvention What you need to start and stop now

whitePaper | October 26, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic was a test of supply chain resiliency and most organizations fell short. Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets. But the vulnerabilities and visible failures of global supply chains during COVID-19 were there for all to see. Lead times expanded exponentially. Manufacturing capacity stalled. Ports became congested. Transportation ground to a halt. Excessive reliance on one location or one supplier caused a domino effect of expensive downtime along the line

Analysis of cost of ownership and the policy support required to enable industrialisation of fuel cell trucks

whitePaper | September 5, 2022

Green hydrogen, made from renewable electricity, can be used as part of a sustainable energy system to provide grid balancing services and to decarbonise a wide range of 'hard to reach' end uses. Once such end-use is the long-haul, heavy-duty trucking sector, where hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are able to provide the long range and fast refuelling required by end users. The deployment of hydrogen trucking must start now and ramp-up quickly if the ambitious emissions reductions targets of net-zero by 2050 are to be achieved. This will allow the sector to scale-up green hydrogen and truck production volumes, and cost reductions to be realised

The “Multi-Multi” Supply Chain Problem

whitePaper | May 13, 2022

Not only are we in state of constant disruption, but disruptions are here to stay. The cause of disruption may change; yesterday it may have been global health, today it may be political unrest, while tomorrow it may be trade related. Issues like inflation, material shortages, high performance pressures from customers, and capacity constraints will never be challenges businesses can overcome on their own – at least not complex or global businesses. It is an ecosystem problem, as issues can originate beyond the scope of one’s own internal network of factories, warehouses, and distribution centers.

Decarbonising Healthcare Supply Chains

whitePaper | November 17, 2022

The climate crisis is one of the most pressing risks to global health: [1] rising temperatures are resulting in an increase in hospital admissions and heat-related deaths; extreme weather events such as flooding and droughts are disrupting food systems, displacing people, and undermining access to healthcare; and changing patterns of water-borne and vector-borne diseases are threatening decades of progress in infectious disease control.[2] Climate change is also exacerbating the incidence of many non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, through increased air pollution, extreme heat, and other factors.[
