S u p p l y C h a i n R e p o r t 2 0 1 0 Industry Initiatives • This section reports a few examples of industry initiatives during 2009-10. Logistics System Review and Sustainable Facility • Coca Cola Amatil (CCA) has been widely recognised for its sustainability initiative at its Eastern Creek distribution centre (DC) which opened in late 2009. • The DC is part of the CCA logistics system upgrade which expects to remove 26,000 large truck movements from Sydney roads annually. • More than 15% of the DC’s energy consumption is supplied by its solar system that produces clean and renewable energy. • It is estimated that the energy and fuel saving at CCA Eastern Creek distribution centre will result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of up to 1000 tonnes per annum. Waste and Damage Reduction • After reviewing its transport logistics, Sugar Australia has changed the way finished goods are delivered to delivering in containers. • The initiative resulted in less packaging usage and less damage to finished products. Fuel Efficiency • In last year’s report, it was mentioned that the Australian Logistics Council, supported by Linfox and Woolworths, launched an e-learning program named Eco-Drive for Commercial Vehicles, aiming to provide fuel efficiency education. Many corporations have embraced the initiative in 2009-10, for example CEVA and Cement Australia commenced the Eco-Driving Training on their transportation fleet. Significant Mergers & Acquisitions – All Sectors • After a quiet year for M&A during 2008-09, late 2009 looked like a strong period for activity after a very large deal in Australia M&A records was announced for the proposed BHP and Rio Pilbara iron ore joint venture. The proposed deal has a value of AUD 116 billion. • The proposition however was withdrawn in 2010 after objections by different regulators in Japan, Korea, Germany, Europe and Australia. • Resources, Energy and Mining sectors are still the most active sectors in term of M&A deal volume and value in 2009-10.
