Feeding dairy cows Bovaer® (3-NOP), Elanco’s newest feed ingredient, provides a scalable and credible way for dairy farmers to benefit from being good stewards of the environment by being financially rewarded for implementing on-farm sustainability interventions. Using tools like UpLook™ by Elanco, an insights-based engine designed to quantify greenhouse gas emissions, farmers can quantify their emission reduction efforts and certify carbon credits for sale through platforms like Athian, a livestock carbon inset marketplace. This announcement demonstrates that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 23, 2024 /3BL/ – DP World, a global leader in supply chain solutions, is pleased to engage as a Pilot Partner in the Net Zero Supply Chain (NZSC) Initiative, a collaborative effort dedicated to advancing the decarbonization of Canada’s freight-transportation supply chains.

Launched earlier this year by convening partners GLOBE Series, Delphi and 7GEN, the NZSC Initiative seeks to transform Canada’s freight-transportation sector by uniting key retail and transportation leaders to design and deliver Canada’s first net-zero supply chain pilot. The initiative is currently engaged in Phase 2, with completion slated for this summer.

Carol-Ann Brown, President of Delphi, said: “The Initiative’s focus on the movement of freight and goods from port terminals to retail stores offers a comprehensive systems approach to decarbonization. The result will be a scalable, replicable roadmap that other organizations can adopt, helping accelerate the transition to net-zero logistics.”

DP World joins ABB, BC Hydro, CN Rail, Innovate BC, Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and other leading organizations in this initiative to create a cleaner, more efficient supply chain that benefits businesses, communities, and the environment.

The primary objectives of the NZSC Initiative are threefold:

To increase efficiency and reduce the carbon emissions associated with transporting goods across Canadian urban centres.To develop a quantifiable case study that will accelerate the commercial adoption of decarbonization technologies through a practical, data-driven pilot.To unlock long-term cost savings while improving air quality and community health.

Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada, said: “DP World is honoured to participate in the Net Zero Supply Chain Initiative. This collaboration is a significant step towards our goal of achieving net-zero logistics and underscores our commitment to pioneering sustainable practices in the freight-transportation sector. By working together with key partners, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also setting a replicable standard for the industry.”

These objectives align with DP World’s corporate Sustainability Strategy, “Our World, Our Future,” which outlines the company’s approach to decarbonization through the electrification of its ports and terminals equipment, investment in renewable energy, and research and development projects investigating alternative fuels, vessels, and vehicles across its portfolio.

The NZSC Initiative is being staged in three phases:

Phase 1 identified common objectives and target goals. After meeting in June 2023, the partners established the goal of transporting a shipment from the Port of Vancouver to a retail store within a 100-kilometer radius using net-zero technologies. Insights gained from this initial local project are being applied to develop a cross-Canada net-zero transportation pilot project.Phase 2, currently underway, is focused on scoping the local project, including identifying the local freight transportation route and key equipment for testing, and determining decarbonization strategies for each component of the local freight supply chain. This phase – which will conclude this summer – will calculate the potential reductions in emissions and air pollutants and will culminate in the development of a decarbonization roadmap.Phase 3 will focus on implementing the local net-zero pilot project. Insights gained from Phase 3 will be used to expand the pilot to include shipments from the West Coast to Eastern Canada. This phase will concentrate on identifying key barriers to net-zero technology implementation and enabling the co-creation of data governance and change management frameworks to accelerate adoption. Phase 3 is expected to commence by September 2024.

Dear young women in STEM,

Every time I’m asked what I’ve learned in my career, or what advice I’d give to young women in STEM, I share the same four things.

We need you

Your individual contribution matters. So much of technology and engineering comes down to solving problems, and innovation happens best when we’re able to look at a problem from all sides. We need your perspective – especially as we move into the era of AI. Right now, we are building and training the models that will shape our future. These models must be unbiased, ethical, and representative of us all. We need women in AI now so that AI works for women for years to come.

You will be a change-maker, a role model, a problem-solver, and an inspiration. Our industry will be better for your presence in it. I’m glad you’re here – keep going.

Find your voice

There will be times you feel conspicuous or “other,” and feel the urge to assimilate, hide, or fly under the radar. Please don’t! Don’t minimize your voice or deprive the room of your contributions. Your authenticity is your superpower.

Cultivate the courage to speak up. Ask questions, ask for the meeting, ask to take on challenges – this is how you’ll grow. But be just as open about giving. Share your knowledge and experience freely. Support others. Be a great team member. These are standout qualities that will make a difference in the quality of the work and in your career.

Find your people.

Community is critical. You need a support system where you can learn, seek guidance, and grow together with women who share your values and vision. This kind of allyship will help you learn more about yourself. My career has been shaped by advisors who pushed me into opportunities that I’d never have taken otherwise, but allowed me to use my strengths and grow. It takes some effort to build this community for yourself. Get active in professional organizations. Take advantage of in-office experiences. Plug into employee resource groups. Seek out a mentor and sponsor and keep in regular contact. Your career (and your life) will be so much richer when you’re surrounded by people who support you and make you better.

Never stop learning.

Make a commitment to being a life-long learner. Learn deep and wide.

Deep: Stay on top of skills and technology as they evolve. It takes discipline, but there are so many resources out there. Do your best to give yourself time to learn, even on busy days. This knowledge will set you apart.

Wide: Be open to non-traditional steps in your career. There will be moments where you’re asked to take a role that you’re looking at and thinking, “Well that wasn’t in my five-year-plan.” My advice: Go for it. The more you experience of a company, the more empathy you have for everybody in it. You begin to understand how everything works together, where things break down – it makes you uniquely qualified to lead and to help solve complex problems.

Stay curious!

I am thankful for you, and cheering for you,

Liz
