The opinions identify a number of potential opportunities: 35% estimate that the acceleration that is already taking place in the digitization of processes will help reduce the decarbonization of logistics. And 10% see the local procurement model that is being consolidated as a key element.

As a risk, 53% think that the growth of Ecommerce and home services generates greater complexity in the sustainable logistics strategy.
