Berlin, Germany

The AGM2010 of the CCA is a great opportunity for everyone involved in logistics for perishables and temperature sensitive products to learn and discuss about current developments and requirements in cold chain logistics. Under the topic “Quality Matters!” CCA members and third parties will gather for a two-days meeting in the German capital. The location will be the 5 stars hotel Pullman Berlin. The Pullman is located directly in the city centre of the pulsating city of Berlin!

Working group sessions where everyone has a say on:

Workshop 1: CCA Future plans
This workshop will question the work of the CCA critically, providing the opportunity for members and third parties to voice their opinions and demands, to analyse the development if the CCA and to shape the future of the CCA actively – for the benefit of the industry. The global attention on humanitarian issues is rising, provoked by the fact that the world is still not able to provide sufficient food for a staggering 923 million undernourished people. The cold chain logistics sector wastes about 30% of food from the farm to the supermarket shelf without further notice. How is this possible? The issue of waste due to cold chain ruptures is the focus of the CCA since is birth, but still, not much has changed.
 
Host: Christian Helms, CCA Secretary General and CEO CCG, Co-host: Verena Brenner, Administration CCA
 
Workshop 2: CO2 in cold chain logistics
The emission of CO2 in logistics is gaining importance and has become part of the strategic positioning of logistic companies. Especially cold chain logistics are challenged, as the energy consumption is generally higher. But while some companies already define aims to reduce CO2, there does not even exist a mutual acknowledged way of calculating CO2 emissions. This workshop will address this topic and clarify myths and facts on CO2 in cold chain logistics to give its attendees a starting point to bring forward useful measures to cope with CO2 in their companies.
 
Host: Robert Arendal, Chairman CCA and CEO ra associates, Co-host: Dr.-Ing. Yves Wild, Dr.-Ing Yves Wild Ingenieurbüro
 
Workshop 3: Avoiding cold chain ruptures
Cold chain logistics companies are required to comply with every time more stringent legal requirements and demands by their customers. They have to prove their reliability and ability to maintain a seamless cold chain. To cope with current and future demands, companies have to continuously learn and adapt. This workshop will focus on addressing the major weak points along the cold chain and how they can be improved. The attendees will learn about important steps to improve their service quality and to prevent damage.
