COVER STORY

“Technologies like IoT and AI are no longer
optional — they are baseline requirements for
global clients,” says Turbosu Mitra.
Outlook: Hygiene as a
Deciding Factor
By 2030, hygiene and sustainability
credentials are expected to be as critical as
delivery speed and in some cases even more
decisive. Regulatory mandates, investor
expectations and consumer demands are driving
logistics providers to embed hygiene and ESG
metrics into operations. Strong performance
in these areas can provide a competitive edge,
even when operational speed is slightly lower.
Technologies such as blockchain, IoT and
digital twins will not only optimize speed
but also automate sustainability tracking and
ESG reporting, making hygiene a core part of
strategic decision-making.

Hygiene as a Strategic
ESG Pillar

environmental care and worker well-being. Cleaning Method : Time per 10,000 sq. ft.
