Driving towards a circular economy: road transport leaders head to Riyadh

What are the key challenges and opportunities for the logistics and supply chain sector in transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient circular economy in Saudi Arabia and beyond?

Marking IRU’s 75th anniversary, we are organising a special event during the Supply Chains and Logistics Conference hosted by the Ministry of Transport and Logistics Services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

 

Our interactive panel – featuring Denice Viktoria Staaf (Global Director, Supply Chain Sustainability and Circularity Initiatives, VCARE Academy), Eyad Karadsheh (VP Land Transport – MEA, DB Schenker), Jonas Velez Gonzalez-Tarrio (Chief Operating Officer, Alsa), Meshal Almofadhi (General Manager of Freight Transportation, Transport General Authority) and Vincent Erard (Senior Director – Strategy & Development, IRU) – will focus on how:

> Road transport can be integrated into circular supply chains, ensuring the efficient flow of goods and materials, and minimising waste
> Policy and regulation can promote circularity in road transport, and how governments and industry can work together to develop effective policies. Read more
