The document advocates for a partnership approach between logistics companies and customers to jointly address these challenges through shared investment, planning and access to information systems.
What is going on in the cold chain this year?
Consumers are driving change and growth in the cold chain industry. This means SKU proliferation, faster inventory turns and an increased need for real time data transparency and fast shipments. More individual orders, processed and delivered faster is now the norm.
Development and adoption of innovative new temperature-sensitive biologic pharmaceuticals is increasing the need for refrigerated transportation, transparency and cold storage warehousing as well as for new technologies to monitor and safeguard products.
The labor shortage continues and the investment in new technologies to compensate advances. Third party refrigerated warehouses have increased the range of value added services that they provide to shippers.
Cold storage warehouse operators have become increasingly aware of and invested in reducing energy consumption and adopting sustainable operations.
The continued incidence of foodborne illness is a major issue in the cold chain industry. Problems with insufficient worker training, precooling, transportation ground operations and commercial handling practices remain weaknesses.
The projected increase in online grocery sales is fueling demand for more cold storage warehouse space. An FMI/Nielsen report indicates a projected pattern of growth from $19 billion to $100 billion by 2024. Current U.S. cold storage warehouse occupancy rates already top 85%.
Location of refrigerated warehouses tends to be near population centers, agricultural areas and at or adjacent to centers of consolidation. This is to reduce transit time to consumers and take advantage of ways to reduce cost.
The cold storage warehouse industry remains dominated by the top 10 operators which own 80% of the market.
The document summarizes the white goods market in the UK. It discusses key sectors like laundry appliances, dishwashers, and cooking appliances.

The document discusses the environmental impacts of global value chains (GVCs). It explains that GVCs break up production across countries, with each specializing in specific tasks. This dispersed nature of GVCs can positively and negatively impact the environment through scale, composition, and technique effects. Scale effects refer to increased economic activity and emissions from growth in GVC activity. Composition effects may lead industries to relocate to areas with weaker regulations. However, polluting industries are often costly to relocate. Technique effects are mostly positive as consumers demand more sustainable practices from companies, and GVCs foster green innovation. The conclusion hopes that technique effects will outweigh any harmful scale and composition effects over time.
A refrigerated truck or refrigerated trailer or also referred to as chiller lorry is a truck designed to transport perishable goods at specific temperatures. Generally, food-grade freight is transported through these trailers. Refrigerated trailers are available in two different ranges namely negative temperature range for carrying frozen food products and positive temperature range for chilled ones. Moreover, a variety of refrigerated trailers are available that are based on parameters such as load capacity, pallet capacity, length, and a number of deck. Refrigerated trailers in used transportation of perishable products such as fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, flowers, dairy products, and poultry products. Moreover, they are used to transport specialized medications that require specific temperature ranges.

The document discusses the need for sustainability given the depletion of natural resources and increasing population and waste. It outlines how Waste Management responded by creating sustainability teams to transform operations and culture. The teams focused on optimizing material value, efficient transportation, sustainability practices, and municipal partnerships. This led Waste Management to implement metrics and benchmarks to track progress, and establish a vision of meeting environmental responsibilities while driving business opportunities and shareholder return through sustainability.
Pauline Rutter discusses sustainability challenges including population growth, resource use, emissions, and waste. She notes the need to move from current linear systems to more circular economies where waste is viewed as a resource. Companies have an important role to play by engaging suppliers, using assurance schemes, and potentially creating natural capital through activities like reforestation and habitat restoration.
The document discusses the growing business case for sustainability in China. Rising oil prices, environmental degradation, and consumer pressure led the Chinese government and companies to recognize the need for change. Major events like the 2008 Sichuan earthquake increased public awareness of environmental and quality issues. As a result, the government strengthened regulations and encouraged green investments while companies like Walmart and Starbucks adopted more sustainable practices to respond to demands. The future requires more collaboration across industries to develop innovative solutions and a sustainable model of growth.

Unilever and Magnet are collaborating to drive growth in health and beauty categories. They tested Unilever's expertise in new store layouts and navigation elements in a Magnet hypermarket. This led to a 10-15% sales increase. Future plans include expanding the test to more stores and categories. The collaboration uses Unilever's Customer Insight and Innovation Centre to gain insights and simulate opportunities through virtual and physical retail labs. This helps organize categories effectively and attract more shoppers to the health and beauty area through clear signage and segmentation.
The document discusses Danone implementing a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) system with Viktoria, a retailer, to improve order and stock accuracy. Key benefits of the VMI system included reduced out-of-stock levels, lower total supply chain costs from improved execution, and automation of ordering between Danone and Viktoria's IT systems. The VMI approach created a win-win collaboration through higher sales, better in-store operations, and reduced costs for both companies.
ECR demand Kantar_category_segmentationECR Community
The document discusses the benefits of an integrated marketing approach for growing product categories rather than just focusing on taking market share from competitors. It argues that most manufacturers still use a "share steal" business model even for categories that have room for more growth. An integrated approach puts the shopper at the center and thinks about win-win strategies for both manufacturers and retailers. This could involve linking product consumption to purchase opportunities and having coordinated sales and marketing plans. Growing the overall category leads to benefits for everyone rather than just shifting shares between competitors.
