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.”

Volkert Engelsman is CEO of Eosta, which imports, packages and distributes organic and fair-trade products in Europe and beyond. This multinational company represents more than a thousand growers from six continents and believes firmly that the foods and agriculture industries require an urgent overhaul in terms of health, social inclusion and environmental impact: “As things are, we’re losing 30 soccer fields of fertile land every minute due to intensive farming practices. We believe there’s a different way.” To help make the right decisions, data are of crucial importance. Engelsman and ORTEC’s Frans van Helden sit down to chat about the importance of data, and more.

Over the past century, business have made huge improvements when it comes to optimal and cost-efficient planning, as well the organization of processes. However, efficient processes alone won’t solve the challenges of the current world. Demands and needs are changing; as a result, the traditional performance indicators are currently out-competed by other ones, such as customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and impact on the SDGs. The puzzle is becoming a more difficult one to solve. Businesses will need to adopt new ways to thrive, and maybe even to survive. Data and mathematics can help to solve the puzzle, but that means data and AI need a place in the boardroom.
“If you have to deliver between one and two million parcels per day, you need prediction models.”
PostNL has four guiding principles in its sustainability transition: CO2 reduction, livability, transparency and transformation, together with both customers and colleagues. Rogier Havelaar, who is responsible for sustainability at PostNL’s largest business unit, identifies three logistics trends: urbanization, new customer demands and data. The company has already been innovating at the intersection between sustainability and business for some time now: “Our targets are aligned with the provisions enshrined in the Paris Agreement; the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially established this. We also stated last year that we wanted to accelerate our greening process, and we are investing an additional 80 million euros for that purpose.”

Rianne Langenberg, Business Strategist at ORTEC, argues that algorithms should be treated somewhat like human employees by having the organization and management monitor whether they’re doing their job properly. She outlines five factors that, when done properly, will make it possible to manage algorithms. At the same time, she’s fully aware that life has to be made as easy as possible for human employees: “Algorithms are often new for senior management. We want to make them more accessible by giving them a familiar face. Our approach is anything but new: it’s a rejigged version of a system that most companies are thoroughly familiar with.”
