First 2022 Extended Board Meeting convenes
The first FIATA Extended Board Meeting of 2022 convenes this afternoon to address pressing matters as supply chain actors attempt to navigate through the unprecedented times we are living in.

2022 Global Supply Chain Sustainability Summit results
The 2022 Global Supply Chain Sustainability Summit took place virtually on 9 March 2022. This virtual summit was organised by Fourkites, the number one global supply chain visibility platform. This exciting conference was an excellent opportunity to gather experts and relevant stakeholders from key actors to further discuss their sustainability goals. The participants shared their experiences of engaging in greener practices. Highlighted points included collaboration and engagement in a multi-stakeholder environment. The importance of embracing digitalisation to explore greener possibilities with expertise was also stressed.
Transportation alone carried a share of over 20% of global CO2 emissions in 2020, representing one-fifth of the total share (Statista, 2022). Indeed, there are still many goals to be achieved within the industry - FIATA encourages its members to be a part of this change, and to contribute to eco-friendly projects to achieve the green goals for our planet. Measuring GHG emissions will help companies to set their targets.
FIATA supports these valuable exchanges and is working on providing guidance to its members by sharing best practices and supporting sustainable progress. Raising awareness and capacity-building on sustainability is a key element of FIATA's mission.
