In this week’s episode of the Unpacked Podcast, we catch up with John Trenchard, vice president of commercial and supply chain at DP World Ports and Terminals UK. With decades of experience in shipping, logistics and transport, Trenchard is a go-to source of deep insight into everything and anything related to retail’s complex and nuanced supply chain.
As we all leading strategic initiatives at two of the UK’s busiest ports, London Gateway and Southampton, Trenchard has played a significant role in establishing DP World as a partner that can not only ensure products arrive in the UK efficiently, but also in the most ethically and environmentally sound way possible.
The conversation covers DP World’s innovative sustainability programmes like the Modal Shift Programme, significantly reducing truck journeys and emissions by shifting freight to rail, and the recently launched Carbon Inset Programme, which aims to revolutionise the way retailers manage their environmental impact.
