Event report: Sustainability - learning from each other
PUBLIREPORTAGE On June 4, Dachser Switzerland, in cooperation with A. Vogel AG, organized a well-attended, interactive networking event in Roggwil TG under the motto "Sustainability - learning from each other".
Sustainability is expected by many customers around the world today. It strengthens the value of the brand image. Many small steps are needed to get closer to this strategic goal.
The presentations by A. Vogel AG and Ricola Schweiz AG provided participants with information and examples of possible approaches. Bernhard C. Baertschi, Head International Markets, Member Executive Management, A. Vogel AG (CH), and Jochen Layer, Vice President Corporate Fulfillment, Ricola (CH), used examples to explain what concrete steps have been taken in their companies to date to develop feasible and measurable solutions, and what goals are being targeted for the future.
Both companies are already heavily involved in sustainability initiatives in the area of social and environmental responsibility. Improvements, particularly in logistics, are continuously driven forward in cooperation with Dachser in order to ensure long-term, sustainable value creation. Ricola also examines the ecological standards in the value chain in order to find optimal solutions with suppliers, service providers and partner companies, for example. In order to achieve its own strategic goals, interdisciplinary and cross-company cooperation and a similar corporate culture among partners are required. During the event, it became clear that Ricola is already well advanced in terms of sustainability in distribution.
Marc Meier, Managing Director Dachser Air & Sea Logistics EMEA, explained that more transparency and collaboration along the entire supply chain, an open, intensive exchange of experiences, including with authorities, comprehensive, trust-based data sharing and better process integration would enable even more significant progress to be made in the field of sustainability. But perhaps completely new approaches sometimes need to be found in order to sustainably increase companies' competitiveness and performance beyond continuous improvements. Dachser always tries to support customers in their sustainability projects with tailor-made, concrete measures.
The Dachser branches in St. Gallen (CH), Baindt (DE) and Steisslingen (DE) want to intensify the dialog with and between their customers with networking events such as the one on June 4, 2024 at A. Vogel AG. "Learning from each other" is an important concern for the logistics service provider. The company would also like to provide critical food for thought and would like to thank customers for their input.
