One of the promising alternatives to fossil fuels is methanol, in which the global shipping industry is investing. Today, 99% of methanol production is based on coal and natural gas. However, DTU (Danish Technical University) scientists have developed a green method for producing biogas-based methanol. Is green methanol on the verge of breakthrough?
The transport and warehousing sector is less productive than in 2015. Dutch productivity growth between 2012 and 2022 was barely half the EU average. Investing in digitization and accelerating the fuel transition are therefore necessary, to improve productivity in the Dutch transport sector.
CSRD will impact over 50.000 companies in the EU. Under the CSRD, companies will need to include detailed ESG data in their annual reports in line with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

Supply chain leaders and Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCOs) are set to benefit from numerous exciting advancements in technology, providing them with opportunities to support new business models, augment and automate decision making, and foster ecosystem collaboration. But what makes Global Supply Chains successful in 2024? What are the main success drivers?
Over 90% of a business’s greenhouse emissions stem from its supply chain network. Managing supply chain sustainability, therefore, is pivotal in reducing the organisation’s carbon footprint. Sustainable supplier management works to identify and mitigate sources of risk throughout the supply base and helps you drive your sustainability efforts.
Even the sturdiest supply chains are vulnerable to seismic shocks, whether due to groundbreaking technological advancements, geopolitical shifts, or global crises. Amid these sources of turbulence, artificial intelligence (AI) can be a game-changer, offering a source of rapid response and sustainable solutions to keep supply chains strong.
In the rapidly evolving world of corporate responsibility, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has become a cornerstone. With the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), we are witnessing a transformative era in how companies approach ESG reporting. AI and ML in ESG reporting: emerging trends?
Ethical leadership sets the tone for ethical behavior by modeling honesty, fairness, and transparency in actions and decisions. Since long, ethical leadership brings value to supply chain management.
