  • PROLOG 20 AND ELEA 25 SUPPLY CHAIN CONFERENCE

PROLOG 20 AND ELEA 25 SUPPLY CHAIN CONFERENCE

PROLOGI's Fourth International Supply Chain Conference will take place on 20 February 2020 in a more festive format than usual. This year's Supply Chain Conference celebrates two major anniversaries - PROLOG 20 and ELEA 25. Therefore, we are organising the conference together, at the Laulasmaa SPA Conference Centre, with a gala evening reception.

The supply chain, like any other industry, leaves a mark on its activities. Are all the traces positive and is everything as it seems at first? Is the electric car still environmentally friendly, when the green one is still biofuel, which is what we are really fighting against with electric bikes? We can also find similar questions in the supply chain - is global sourcing always justified if green is in fact our partner. We have to realise that every decision we make leaves a mark somewhere. At this year's conference, we will analyse what the supply chain leaves behind. We'll think about how we can do things better, so that we keep our owners happy and the environment happy.

If you've been looking for answers to the question of how to make your company's footprint on the environment smaller, but still want to operate profitably, this Supply Chain Conference is the place to be. We promise we won't tease you with green brainwashing, but will look at things as they really are and how we understand them.

As with previous conferences, we have set ourselves the goal of having at least half of the programme made up of international speakers. At previous conferences we have introduced you to Hyperloop, shared the experiences of Amazon, IBM, Ericsson, Cleveron and Lufthansa.

Conference attendees have given us a high satisfaction percentage of 98%. This year we will also give you our quality guarantee.

As always, the conference day will end with an evening banquet, which we do not plan to end. To register for the conference, please fill in the registration form below.

See you at the 4th Supply Chain Conference and the anniversary celebrations of 2 major supply chain organisations to make better balanced decisions for the environment and your business!

How to find value in waste?
Duration: 30 min

The number of people on the planet is projected to reach 9 billion by 2050. Unfortunately, such a population is not sustainable in terms of resources. We need to change our behaviours, the value proposition of our business models and our supply chains - all the raw materials that are taken from the earth must be recycled as materials. Today, only 25-30% of waste is recycled, it should be 90-95%. In her presentation, Ingrid will look at recycling strategies, waste streams and their sources at different stages of traditional supply chains, and talk about creating solutions that support the circular economy.

How to turn sustainability into profit - with a practical example
Duration: 30 min

While we as humans feel that we should actually care more about the environment, business often comes down to profitability and profit. However, at Estanc we have taken a strategic approach to sustainability. Is such a trend only possible in a family business where the owner is very close to the day-to-day management? Mihkel Tammo, CEO of Estanc, talks about what triggered Estanc to start thinking about sustainability in depth. He answers the question of whether the green move was made just for a sense of mission or whether it was backed by economic calculations. Mihkl also has a story to tell about his first victories. By the end of the presentation, listeners should be clear whether Estanc's experience is worth copying.
