For millions of companies around the world, well-structured and optimized logistics are key for increasing sales and meeting product demand in any location. The logistics sector faces continuous challenges, ranging from sustainability to reducing delivery times.

One of the biggest challenges is managing climate-related risks. Factors such as storms, snowfall, floods and extreme temperatures can affect logistics operations, from warehousing to distribution and transportation. What strategies can be implemented to mitigate these risks?

• Real-time weather monitoring: Advanced technology allows us to anticipate weather events. Weather tracking tools and applications can be used to adjust sea, air or land transport routes to avoid disruptions.
• Strengthening of storage facilities: Upgrading or building facilities capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions is crucial. This helps prevent flooding, power outages and extreme temperatures. It is also essential to train staff in safety to deal with these situations.
• Diversification of suppliers and routes: Having multiple suppliers and alternative routes ensures that the supply chain remains operational, even if one supplier or route is affected by adverse weather conditions.
• Temperature and humidity monitoring: It is essential to constantly monitor these factors in warehouses and transportation facilities, especially during seasons with extreme temperatures. This is vital when working with perishable foods or pharmaceutical products.
