#odette2025
Facing up to the Sustainability and Regulatory Challenge
As the automotive industry addresses the twin challenge of digitalising supply chain operations, while transitioning to fully electric powertrains, further obstacles appear in the form of increased legislation and sustainability targets. In the face of increasing competition from new entrants to the industry, the established players are facing up to a true tsunami of regulations, emanating not only from the EU but from many other jurisdictions around the world. Get the keys at Odette2025 to turn these challenges into competitive advantages for your company.
Whether your company views the incoming tide of regulations as a threat or an opportunity, it is essential to be able to navigate the new environment in order to ensure the sustainability and competitivity of your business. Companies all over the world, large and small, need to adapt their practices to stay ahead of their rivals, or simply to be able to continue trading in the 1st largest consumer market.
At Odette2025, we will delve into the issues your company needs to address and do our best to provide clarifications and solutions. We will present the results of collaboration between automotive supply chain and technology experts, and show how our digital standards, tools and services can help you to face up to the many challenges in front of you.
What people say about the Odette Conference
The Odette Conference is a place where you will share knowledge and meet major actors of the digital supply chain. Besides following the conference sessions to keep informed of the industry evolutions, my objectives at Odette2022 were to ensure the transmission of knowledge and expertise by introducing my young colleagues to the people I regularly communicate with and to speak with a customer on a specific project. This was done within minutes of our arrival as my Odette contacts immediately put me in touch with THE person I was looking for.
I recommend the Odette conferences to suppliers who want to anticipate changes and stay informed.
Marie Ammerich, Supply Chain Projects Engineer at L&L Products
It was a pleasure to participate and thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce Stellantis ambitions and the challenges ahead of us. Odette is a strong partner and the standards created are well taken into account in achieving the convergence of our Group companies.
Michael Gorny, VP Supply Chain Transformation at Stellantis
I really enjoyed the presentations as well as the discussions at the conference.
My congratulations on your excellent organization which was the perfect mix of a highly professional event and a great feel-good get-together of the industry.
