Challenges and innovations
In its report titled “Securing Supply Chains”, Geodis reviews the high points of 2019. Despite sluggish global economic conditions, the group achieved solid financial results and pursued its aims in the areas of social and environmental responsibility.
The year was also marked by the launch of a new express delivery service from Hong Kong to Mexico for high-tech customers (called “AirDirect Mexico”), several major contract renewals and the opening of sites, including 100,000 sqm for a major e-commerce company.
"The Covid-19 pandemic crisis has revealed the extent to which logistics is a strategic factor for companies as well as for nations. The multiple and complex challenges that the disruption brought to the global economy demonstrate the need to make supply chains more secure,” says Marie-Christine Lombard, CEO of Geodis. (mw)
