16 stycznia 2025 o godz. 17:00 odbędzie się kolejny webinar z cyklu Wykłady Inspiracyjne, „Reducing the Carbon Foot Print of Retail Returns” który poprowadzi Dr Jonathan Gorst z Sheffield Hallam University
O wykładzie:
For the past few years the number of returns received by Europe’s retailers has increased. During the Covid pandemic this number increased quite dramatically, with the current costs of returned products running to many billions of Euros. This lecture will look at the different challenges currently facing retailers / 3rd party logistic providers / courier companies from a finanancial, operational and sustainability perspective. The lecture will also consider the amount of CO2 emissions that are created by products moving around a return cycle loop and how value can be recovered from these ‘unwanted’ products.
Dr Jonathan Gorst is the Division Head of Marketing, Enterprise and Events Management at Sheffield Business School. Jonathan’s personal research is in the area of reverse logistics. He has been researching this area for the last 20 years and in recent years this has been focused on retail returns and its implications for omnichannel shopping. His current work focuses on increasing value from returned products, while considering the implications of CO2 emissions on the broader environment. Jonathan is part of the Reverse Logistics Research Group which brings together colleagues from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield to develop and carry out further research in the area of reverse logistics. Jonathan is an active member of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and is co-chair of the Institute’s Retail Forum.
