Information technology is creating a more connected world, and our dependence on technology for all aspects of our lives continues to increase. However, the advanced technology and sophisticated logistics networks that support this connectivity are facing unprecedented attacks, which risk undermining the trust on which growth, prosperity, and international relations rest. Complicating matters further, the complexity, sophistication and potential impact of attacks also have increased substantially over time.

There are almost no supply chains left unbruised right now, as multiple waves of hard-hitting disruptions challenged even the most experienced of operators. We are, by now, completely aware of the fissures in supply chains that can rapidly open into chasms. The next big question is how to move on and create the supply chain of the future that is resilient against shocks? The answer lies in strengthening the shared data links across supply chains, and then turning this information into insights that can then be acted upon rapidly and decisively. The inherent complexity of most modern supply chains means that this is no easy task and that human operators need help in moving towards this goal, especially as the data flows are only going to increase with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT).

We are in the middle of an explosion in new data on the ocean, creating enormous potential for advances in our understanding and stewardship of ocean resources. An exponential increase in the number and variety of ocean observing systems and other new data sources has created the prospect of a digital ocean ecosystem. Advances in processing techniques and visualisation are rapidly expanding our ability to extract information from those data, and are enabling a wide array of tools to provide real-time information in actionable form to decision-makers, such as policymakers, resource managers, resource users, consumers and citizens.

A whitepaper setting out the needs of truck end-users and logistics providers as these organisations look to decarbonise operations, focusing on the opportunities and challenges that hydrogen trucking brings. This paper discusses the role of hydrogen in facilitating truck end user decarbonisation targets, as well as supporting logistics companies to maintain operations amidst increasing regulatory pressure to reduce emissions. The paper outlines the needs and expectations of customers in terms of operational and infrastructure requirements, cost, and policy intervention to enable a transition to zero-emission heavy-duty trucking across Europe.

Reshoring to replace offshoring—an era of sustainability? Recent results from our five-month survey with internationally active Tier 1 automotive suppliers have shown that CEOs and Heads of Operations and Sustainability are starting to rethink their global footprint. Every supplier involved in our study has a global production network, has previously offshored manufacturing activities to low-wage countries, and is thus exposed to reshoring and sustainability decisions.
