GLOBAL FLEET CONFERENCE

15-17 May 2023, Cascais (Portugal)

Sustainable Procurement

The Key to your Global Fleet Strategy in 2023

In 2023 and beyond, Sustainable Procurement is going to be key to revitalize your global fleet strategy. Come to the 2023 Global Fleet Conference (15-17 May in Cascais, Portugal) to learn why, how and what.

Why should you learn about Sustainable Procurement at the 2023 Global Fleet Conference?

Market conditions have been extra challenging these past few years, so multinationals and their fleet managers have been forced to focus on business continuity, and to deliver quick wins in cost efficiency.

Many of those challenges will continue in 2023. That is exactly why it’s time to change direction – moving from quick fixes to a fundamental rethink of your global fleet strategy.

You need a global fleet strategy that is fit for these times: contributing to corporate ESG targets, responding to the changed needs of drivers and other employees, and increasing your company’s value and attractiveness.

The main principle behind that rethink? Sustainable Procurement. That is: cultivating sustainable partnerships, that deliver sustainable outcomes in fleet and mobility.

How will you learn about Sustainable Procurement at the 2023 Global Fleet Conference?

Once again, we are assembling a stellar cast of expert speakers:

  • Award-winning fleet managers
  • Regional and global fleet executives
  • All with market-leading experience in leasing and fleet management, electrification and energy management, connectivity and digitization.

These speakers will share with you how you can translate Sustainable Procurement into success for your global fleet management, with tangible benefits for your organization and its employees.

What will you learn about Sustainable Procurement at the 2023 Global Fleet Conference?

You’ll get answers to questions like:

  • Is your green fleet really sustainable?
  • How can procurement deliver sustainable outcomes?
  • How do you translate thinking globally into acting regionally?
  • How can near-sourcing help you understand regional realities?
  • How can you ensure sustainable supplier relationships?
  • How can you mitigate risks and safeguard your assets?

  • Seize the Moment in a Rising Region In terms of global fleet management, Asia-Pacific (APAC) is the most complex region. From a fleet and mobility perspective, it’s also an increasingly important region. So it’s key to bring together key fleet and mobility players from across the region, including fleet managers, suppliers, and mobility and tech companies. The goal of this Expert Meeting: to identify international business opportunities in fleet and mobility across APAC.

  • Volatile, Maturing, and Rich with Opportunity Fleet management in Latin America (Latam) is maturing quickly, despite often volatile market conditions and large discrepancies in economic conditions and business preferences across the region. The goal of this Expert Meeting: to gather Tought Leadership, so we can accelerate Fleet and Mobility business opportunities across Latam.

  • Learn from the Best Practices of your Global Fleet Peers Who better to learn from than your global fleet peers? That’s the idea behind the Global Fleet Managers’ Club (GFMC) – a club uniquely based on sharing best practices by and for international and global fleet managers. The GFMC counts more than 170 members, representing global fleets adding up to almost 2 million vehicles.

  • This breakfast meeting is open to all female professionals in the Fleet and Mobility industry.

  • Near-sourcing is an innovative tactic in fleet procurement that will bring value to your organization. The topic is discussed while keeping in mind the relative benefits of globalization versus regionalization, and the importance of regional differences in economic development

  • In line with their ESG targets and following the principles of GHG accounting, multinationals and their fleet managers are working to achieve sustainability throughout their entire supply chain. What is the state of play of those efforts today? And how much ‘greener’ can we go?

  • Making sustainability the key element of your procurement strategy is not only possible; it’s both wise and cost-efficient, both on a regional and a global level. Learn from a best-in-class procurement lead how to put sustainability at the heart of your sourcing processes.

  • Last November, Guillaume de Subercasaux was chosen as the Global Fleet Manager of the Year. In an industry increasingly dominated by the need for sustainability, he will explain how to marry global fleet management success with increasingly stringent and globally divergent sustainability targets.

  • No two regions are the same. Hence the necessity to build your global fleet management on global guidelines that respect local market realities. This segment will explore how to develop such guidelines.

  • The automation of fleet management comes with a series of opportunities for fleet managers, their stakeholders and drivers. Just think about process optimisation, fleet visibility and fleet procurement efficiency to name a few. An accelerated digital journey also underpins global fleet trends in safety, sustainability and smart mobility. In this session, you’ll discover new innovative tactics to turn your global fleet management digital.

  • Effectively managing a global fleet requires excellent global reporting. Setting up and implementing such a system may seem challenging. It doesn’t have to be.

  • On the importance, difficulties and opportunities of effective CO2 management and reduction by global fleets.

  • Electrifying your fleet is a critical step in the journey towards corporate sustainability – and in many cases the biggest one. But EVs are not the ultimate goal. To be fully sustainable, you must consider the well-to-wheel experience, the energy supply, the battery technology, the charging policy, and the after-life commitments. In this session, you’ll learn how to ensure your EV fleet is as green as it can be.

  • This panel discussion will feature top executives from major regional leasing and fleet management companies and wil be interactive – i.e. with a Q&A session with the audience. The aim is to explore opportunities for global fleets to progress with their sustainability in 2023 and beyond.

  • This panel discussion will feature C-level executives from the Element-Arval Global Alliance and the Alliance ALD-Wheels Donlen LeasePlan. The aim is to explore the future of global leasing.
