Russia, Ukraine, Middle East: Logistics in a state of emergency. How volatile capacities are changing shippers' purchasing behaviour
Crises such as the war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East are disrupting global supply chains. Fluctuating capacities and rising prices are forcing shippers to rethink their purchasing behaviour – away from pure price and towards flexibility, data intelligence and reliable partnerships.

Green logistics under pressure: How shippers navigate between climate targets and cost explosions
Climate targets, ESG reporting requirements and rising energy prices are putting shippers under enormous pressure. Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must – but how can change be achieved when cost pressures and capacity shortages are growing at the same time?
From electric trucks and hydrogen drives to CO₂ tracking and intelligent route planning, strategies are needed that truly reconcile economic efficiency and climate protection.
