BLOCK 1 - SUSTAINABILITY UNDER OPERATIONAL LOAD
09:00 - 09:40
PANEL
Sustainability obligations intensify faster than operational capacity can absorb
Exploring how new sustainability requirements accumulate across stores, warehouses and partners without proportional capacity increases.
Highlighting where uneven readiness turns the weakest operational link into a system-wide bottleneck.
Synchronising workload thresholds, partner responsibilities and execution pacing into one operating rhythm, mitigating overload before failures cascade.

SENT regulation in practice: key compliance risks and strategic actions for the retail sector.
SENT as a pillar of supply chain operational resilience How the regulation strengthens the security of transporting sensitive goods and shapes corporate accountability across retail supply chains.
Compliance hotspots – where companies most often lose control Reporting obligations, typical operational errors, exposure to administrative penalties and the areas most vulnerable to non compliance.
A strategic approach to building effective compliance processes and tools The role of automation, data integration, internal controls and oversight of subcontractors and carriers in ensuring continuous SENT compliance.

PANEL
Sustainability initiatives fail when sequencing ignores operational capacity limits
Exploring how overlapping sustainability initiatives collide with daily execution demands and limited operational headroom.
Highlighting where poor sequencing pushes additional workload into fragile processes and increases exception frequency.
Prioritising stabilisation steps, initiative order and execution pacing into one rollout logic, preventing overload before systemic failure.

BLOCK 2 - CIRCULAR OPERATIONS AT SCALE
11:00 - 11:30
PANEL
Reverse flows destabilise operations when circular transitions begin before systems adapt
Exploring how the introduction of reverse flows adds volume, handling steps and uncertainty into established store and distribution routines.
Highlighting where parallel compliant and non-compliant flows overload backrooms, transport links and receiving processes.
Coordinating intake rules, handling capacity and routing priorities into one transition model, containing disruption during early circular rollout.

PANEL
Circularity stalls when operating models lag behind ecosystem complexity
Exploring how closed-loop ambitions rely on multiple actors whose capabilities and incentives evolve at different speeds.
Highlighting where weakest-link dependencies and fragmented responsibilities prevent circular processes from stabilising.
Redesigning operating roles, interface ownership and performance signals into one system view, aligning circular execution across the network.

BLOCK 3 - DECARBONISING UNDER CONSTRAINT
12:30 - 13:00
PANEL
Low-carbon transport choices introduce volatility into cost and service performance
Exploring how alternative fuels and new energy contracts alter operating costs and service predictability.
Highlighting where price swings, limited availability and route constraints increase exposure during transition phases.
Balancing fuel selection, route design and contingency buffers into one operating approach, dampening volatility impacts.

PANEL
Decarbonisation ambition accelerates while transport and energy systems lag behind
Exploring how rising decarbonisation expectations translate into operational requirements across transport fleets and energy supply.
Highlighting where infrastructure readiness, asset availability and supplier capability constrain feasible execution timelines.
Sequencing targets, asset transitions and service commitments into one feasibility pathway, preventing premature disruption.
