“ The logistics models that win will be those designed for resilience, speed and intelligence”
Matt Shields, Executive Vice President
Global Operations, Teva Pharmaceuticals
The sustainability thread runs through both arguments. DP World measures energy per container move as a core KPI. Teva has a net zero by 2045 commitment, with an air-to-ocean shipping ratio designed to cut the distribution footprint without sacrificing reliability.
“ Carbon-reduction expectations are accelerating,” Matt says.“ Teva is leading with an air-to-ocean shipping ratio that cuts our global distribution footprint while keeping reliability high. We have developed a comprehensive decarbonisation roadmap to achieve our 2045 net zero commitment with investments in renewable energy, efficiency and sustainable transportation.”
Strip away the industry-specific detail and the same strategic arc runs through both conversations: build a common foundation, scale it, then use the resulting data coherence to unlock AI-driven intelligence. Standards, data and AI are the means. Reliability, resilience and access are the end.
The companies that understand this distinction are laying the foundations not just for competitive advantage, but for a more robust and equitable global economy. supplychaindigital. com
