Yesterday I participated in the World Leaders Forum. My congratulations for Universal Postal Union's excellent organization, I thank them for having me. I also want to thank Christine Holgate, CEO of Australia Post, for sharing her views. It was good to hear that her point of view about the COVID-19 issues and opportunities is very similar. During the keynote I dealt with the current challenges for the #postal and #parcels business. One of these challenges concerns cross-border shipping of mail and parcels due to a lack of airline capacity. We all depend on the #airline industry for the majority of the shipping of our cross-border mail and parcels. It is really important to reflect on the various possibilities we have and on how the fast-changing airline environment is a major risk for the postal global #supplychain. We see solutions in strong #collaborations between the postal industry and the airline industry. Did you participate in the forum or are you interested in this topic? Feel free to let me know what your thoughts are on this matter. I gladly share my insights with you. #shipping #mail #post

Peter Somers thanks great contribution to the event, Peter! In my humble opinion, the new tourism patterns and landscape should be fully taken into account in order to better cope with this lack of flight capacity in the international postal supply chain. Flights are available where tourists and business travelers travel to so let’s make sure we can predict shoppers’ demand much better than today, move the goods that are predicted to be on high demand in advance to these global tourism and business events hubs, secure agile transportation modes between those touristic hubs and final destinations, and match import and export predictions to ensure maximal utilization of inbound and outbound flights capacities.

Bob Eco participated at the United Nations Africa E-Mobility Forum in Dakar. The event was enlightening, showcasing Africa's journey towards electrification in public, last mile, and private transport. Key topics included innovative financing measures, gender inclusivity, reskilling requirements, locally adapted EVs, Senegal's E-Mobility policy roadmap and a marketplace with EV players showcasing their products. Switching from polluting ICE engines to eco-friendly electric ones like Bob Eco's electric motorbikes is crucial for combating air pollution. Our leasing option provides access to all, fostering a greener Africa. Kudos to the Bob Eco team Senegal! #AfricaEmobility #EMobility #Sustainability #ElectricMotorbikes

Sustainability has become pivotal for businesses of all sizes, who seek to implement eco-friendly solutions and work towards achieving net zero. However, the broad and complex nature of sustainability poses challenges for companies in determining where to start and translating ideas into actionable plans. As the Moderator, I am honored to lead a discussion with Sophia Hamilton-Brown, Deputy Postmaster-General at Jamaica Post, and Dennis Kollmann, Chief Sales Officer at Hermes Germany GmbH, focusing on the urgency of embracing green logistics. Explore with us why this path is crucial for a sustainable and competitive future in the last mile and postal sector. #Sustainability #GreenLogistics #greenmobility
