It’s probably too strong to say the logo on the side of the truck is now more important than the logo on the side of the box. But it’s certainly not overstating things to say that consumers demand fast, reliable, free (in many cases) shipping, with easily accessible updates. In one 2021 survey, 47% of consumers said they would consider abandoning a retailer after a single bad shipping experience.

The transportation and logistics (T&L) industry is in the midst of business transformation. This transition is being driven by the need to improve delivery time, sustainability, and the customer experience.1 To address growing global freight demands, T&L companies are modernizing their infrastructure and systems by investing in the Internet of Things (IoT), operational technology (OT), big data, 5G, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Transport decarbonisation is a dull way of describing something much more exciting and far-reaching. Because transport is not just how you get around. It is something that fundamentally shapes our towns, our cities, our countryside, our living standards, our health, and our whole quality of life. It can shape all these things for good – or for bad.

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

Zero Trust is a proactive, integrated approach to security across all layers of the digital estate. It explicitly and continuously verifies every transaction, asserts least privilege, and relies on intelligence, advanced detection, and real-time response to threats. Zero Trust is imperative for business, technology, and security teams working to protect everything as it is, and as it could be. It is an ongoing journey for security professionals, but getting started begins with simple first steps, a continuing sense of urgency, and continuous iterative improvements.

The shipping industry as a whole accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising the maritime industry in line with the Paris Agreement is essential to fighting climate change, and key to facilitating the decarbonisation of many other industries. This requires systemic industrywide change, the complexity of which cannot be understated. Many aspects of the transition to zero-carbon shipping are necessarily long-term endeavours, such as the development of green technology for a new generation of vessels. However, certain shortterm changes can be implemented to help accelerate this transition over the coming decade, until such technological solutions have matured.
