TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS 2011 - Day of the Shipper

Day of the Shipper

On the occasion of the Transport & Logistics Exhibition in Antwerp, OTM, Belgian Shippers' Council organizes on September 21, 2011 its 4th 'Day of the Shipper'. Like in previous editions, a special theme will be examined which has already an impact on today's general business and specifically on logistical activities, but even more in the coming future: 'Green Business Management: sweet thoughts or bitter necessity? The logistical playing field must make decisions!'

Our keynote speakers will -amongst others- go into matters as:

Green Business Management: regulations on international, national and regional level.
Which are my costs with regard to implementing green maangement?
How can I measure CO2 emissions in my company?
Which solutions do exist to reduce CO2 emissions?
What is the price to pay of (too much) CO emission?
