Imagine if packages typically took months to arrive. If the public transport was restricted to one or two routes a day rather than multiple services every hour.
The world as we know it today would simply grind to a halt.
From receiving goods on a same- or next-day basis to transporting critical medicines, food and other supplies to communities globally, the absolutely vital role that logistics, transportation and supply chain professionals play cannot be understated.
Today, we’re excited to give those hard-working people the spotlight they deserve.
3 November 2024 marks the very first International Day of Supply Chain, Logistics and Transportation – a day to recognise those individuals that keep our world moving forward.
According to the United Nations, there are more than 450 million supply chain, logistics and transportation professionals employed globally, representing almost 13% of the world’s workforce.
Not only is this a huge portion of the human population. Equally, the contributions of logistics, transport supply chain industry professionals are immense.
Their work is essential to keeping our economies thriving and societies moving forward, ensuring the safe and smooth flow of goods, services and people across everything from ecommerce and healthcare to education and international cooperation.
This new International Day is all about highlighting those vital contributions.
