from Logistics Matters with DC VELOCITY · host AGiLE Business Media
Our guest on this week's episode is Jenny Vander Zanden, chief operating officer of Breakthrough. Shippers are facing many challenges today. There is the world’s political situation for one. Another is inflation and the need to diversify. Our guest today offers some insights into the challenges of shippers and what they can be doing to mitigate their risks.The air cargo sector was one of the supply chain transport modes that was the most disturbed by the pandemic. While most of that chaotic period is hopefully behind us, the air freight market continues to see a turbulent path forward. We report on some of the latest numbers and what they mean for the remainder of the year. A recent survey found that most companies remain committed to investing in their environmental sustainability goals, despite economic challenges like inflation and a potential recession in 2023. We look deeper into the research to find out what business leaders are thinking and whether current economic conditions will affect their future commitments to sustainability.
