FOREWORD H ello and welcome to the September edition of Supply
Chain Digital , the leading publication for executives working in supply chain , procurement and logistics .
In this month ’ s must-read issue , we kick off with a deep dive of the Bollore Logistics ’ new sustainability-led agenda .
We spoke exclusively to the company ’ s Sustainability Development Manager , Mathilde Dumoulin , who speaks about why the new strategy is so important to Bollore ’ s overall success .
It is yet another example of sustainability becoming a central element to companies ’ plans for future success , in quite the same way that procurement and supply chain professionals have had to fight for their voices to be heard at the top table of business .
Elsewhere , we speak with Richard Cawston , XPO ’ s Manag- ing Director for Europe Supply Chain to get his thoughts on his first year in the job , the importance of embracing technology and why the company believes in recruiting from within .
With some executives , that may come across as lip service , but Cawston speaks from experience , having risen successfully through the ranks in his 15 years with the company .
Elsewhere , we also bring you some cracking company reports from the likes of Flogas , EnviroServ , KAR Auction Services and Kansai / Vinci Airport .
We hope you enjoy September ’ s Supply Chain Digital . Please get involved with our online community on Twitter , LinkedIn and Facebook .
