Den Hartogh Logistics is a global logistics provider specializing in bulk transportation for the chemical, gas and polymer, and dry food industries. As Luke van de Bunt, Network Planning Manager and member of the Sustainability Working Group at Den Hartogh Logistics is all too aware, implementing short-term sustainability improvements in logistics can be complicated: “If the rest of the industry is not ready, making the shift can be very hard. Everyone agrees that something must be done, that we have to work together and that everyone should do their part, but someone will eventually have to go beyond words alone. Strategic sessions help to chart a general course, but at some point you have to get going."

The first electric train was already passing through the Netherlands as early as 1908. So NS must have sustainable transport practically in its genes. In the words of Mea Westerbeek, Manager Sustainable Business: “For a company like NS, which has been working on efficiency and energy improvements for years now, it is important to explore opportunities by deploying new tools. The low-hanging fruit has already been picked. But, with advanced analytics and AI, we can keep ahead of the game.”

Innovation... is it a solo activity, or does it take good teamwork? Does innovation ‘just happen’, or can it be forced? And how about innovating with limited resources: is it even possible at all? Innovation is an abstract concept without a one-size-fits-all definition: it can mean many things at once. That’s why there are lots of common misconceptions and myths about it.

On top of that, the reliability of the logistics process has decreased, increasing the need for proactive, data-driven control.
