Driving Towards a Circular Economy: The vital role of sustainable road transport in minimising waste and environmental impact

Riyadh | IRU event

What are the key challenges and opportunities for the logistics and supply chain sector in transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient circular economy in Saudi Arabia and beyond?  

This special event, on the occasion of IRU’s 75th anniversary, will take place during the Supply Chains and Logistics Conference organised by the Ministry of Transport and Logistics Services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 

The interactive panel with leading industry figures will discuss:

  • How can sustainable transport promote a circular economy by reducing emissions, promoting a sharing economy, encouraging sustainable production, and facilitating circular logistics?
  • How can road transport be integrated into circular supply chains, ensuring the efficient flow of goods and materials and minimising waste?
  • How can policy and regulation promote circularity in road transport, and how can governments and industry work together to develop effective policies?

The conference is organised under the patronage of H.E. Engineer Saleh bin Nasser bin Ali Al-Jasser, Minister of Transport and Logistics Services. 

Kindly note that you need to register to attend the Supply Chains and Logistics Conference to be able to access to this event.

IRU President Radu Dinescu will also give a special presentation to the main congress plenary at 11:45 AM on 22 October. 

The topic of his presentation is "Sustainable Road Transport and Logistics Services: Integration for Global Trade Facilitation".
