Last week at Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Europe 2025 in Bonn, we explored the future of automotive logistics with business and industry leaders, discussing strategies and solutions to drive efficiency and sustainability. Our experts, including our Global VP of Supply Chain Engineering, Kai Olschner, shared their insights on navigating demand uncertainty and building resilient, digitally-enabled supply chains. Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation. We look forward to continuing the conversation at Finished Vehicle Logistics in April.

We’ve added five Smart Trucks to our Ardagh Group Glass Packaging Africa fleet in South Africa and they’re changing the road freight game.  These custom-designed vehicles, powered by dual-fuel tech and our own Lift Roof trailer design, can now transport 100 pallets per trip instead of 72, using less fuel and reducing road wear. This move supports our commitment to greener supply chain in sub-Saharan Africa - making deliveries more efficient and affordable for our customers. #SmartLogistics #Sustainability

From tariffs to export controls, recent shifting policies are impacting global trade dynamics. Businesses are looking for different ways to adapt and stay ahead.

Thank you to the UK Minister of State for Investment, Baroness Poppy Gustafsson, who joined our CEO and Group Chairman, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, last week for a tour of London Gateway. The visit marked our announcement to expand London Gateway and establish the facility as the UK's largest container port, with the £1bn project starting this Spring. Our Chairman also outlined plans to create over 1,000 construction jobs and 400 permanent roles, alongside the positive impact of the Gemini Cooperation’s commitment to our ports. The major expansion project will boost the UK’s trading capacity with two 400m-long all electric berths and a second rail terminal as we continue changing what's possible in the world of trade.

Water is more than a resource, it is a lifeline for communities, economies and ecosystems. Yet, more than 2.2 billion people worldwide do not have safe water, and 1.5 billion do not have basic sanitation facilities. The private sector has a critical role in closing this gap. As part of our Water legacy pillar under the Our World, Our Future strategy, we are taking bold action. In 2025, we launched a transformative project with WaterAid in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, aimed at building thriving communities by improving access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in three healthcare centres near our port. Over the next three years, this initiative is expected to improve the health and well-being of 65,000 people. Clean water and sanitation are the foundation for good health and life full of opportunity - it means thriving communities and stronger economies. We recognise that investing in WASH is not just about infrastructure, it’s about empowering communities, enhancing workforce well-being and ensuring long-term business resilience. Our Water Conservation and Management Strategy (WCMS), set for implementation in 2025, embeds sustainable water stewardship into our operations, prioritising high-risk areas and local needs, while providing the framework for further integrating good water stewardship, with a focus on both water use and water quality.
