Global Risks Report 2025, 20th Edition

The World Economic Forum (WEF) published the Global Risks Report 2025, 20th Edition in January, an analysis of the major global risks and their impact on various sectors, including transport and logistics. You can download it through this link.

We particularly recommend reviewing the initial chapters, which highlight key risks for the supply chain, such as disinformation, cyberattacks, geopolitical crises, and the impacts of climate change. Additionally, the report’s graphics provide a clear and direct overview of the connections between these factors and their effects on trade and logistics. All of this aligns closely with the constellation of risks that a Responsible Shipper must consider to effectively manage its supply chain.

Below, we have prepared the most relevant points within the following areas:

  • KEY FINDINGS: Impact of climate change, Geoeconomic confrontation, Digitalization and disinformation, Supply chain as a central risk assessment factor, The world in 2025 and 2027.
  • SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS: Risk map, Risk ranking by severity, Geopolitical recession.
  • GEOPOLITICS IMPACT: Tensions in the Middle East and the potential Taiwan conflict.
  • TECHNOLOGY AND CYBERSECURITY: Strengthening security systems, Special focus on training.
  • MITIGATION AND IMPROVED OUTLOOK: Global collaboration, Ethical supply chains, Focus on resilience.

Transprime – SPANISH SHIPPERS’ COUNCIL joins the Renewable Fuels Platform

At Transprime – SPANISH SHIPPERS’ COUNCIL, we believe in the importance of sustainable and responsible transport, capable of reducing its environmental impact without compromising the competitiveness and efficiency of the supply chain.

That is why, today, February 3, 2025, we have joined the Renewable Fuels Platform, an initiative that promotes the use of renewable liquid fuels with low or zero CO₂ emissions, which are essential for the energy transition in the logistics sector.

Why is this adhesion important?

  • Renewable fuels enable an immediate reduction in emissions, without the need to replace existing fleets or infrastructure.
  • They are a key solution for heavy freight transport, where electrification still faces technological and economic challenges.
  • They enhance energy security and promote the circular economy, supporting industrial development and reducing dependence on traditional fossil sources.

Transprime – SPANISH SHIPPERS’ COUNCIL’s commitment to responsible logistics

As an association, we promote initiatives that contribute to the sustainability and transformation of the sector. The Responsible Shipper Certificate (CCR) is a clear example, as it drives the reduction of environmental impact in the supply chain, aligning with regulations such as CS3D.

Another step towards more sustainable, efficient, and resilient transport. We continue working to build a logistics sector aligned with decarbonization and sustainability goals.

Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025

WEFORUM has published in January 2025, the Global Cybersecurity Outlook for 2025 of which we have made an executive summary from the shippers’ perspective in terms of how they are affected by the risks estimated from the Davos Economic Forum. The logistics implications that emerge from the report are very relevant and have a direct operational impact, so it is necessary that all shippers, under the scope of becoming  Certified Shippers of Trust (SOT) to become resilient by activating the alerts and actions  to be properly updated.

PUNTOS CLAVE (páginas 5-9)

El informe señala que las cadenas de suministro y los sectores logísticos están cada vez más expuestos a ciberataques debido a su alta interconectividad y dependencia tecnológica. La digitalización de procesos, junto con la adopción de tecnologías emergentes como la inteligencia artificial, genera vulnerabilidades significativas.

  • Este video resume de manera muy gráfica los temas importantes que implican los aspectos logísticos relevantes y su compleja.
  • Tensiones geopolíticas y ciberseguridad: Los conflictos internacionales están incrementando los riesgos de ciberataques a infraestructuras críticas, incluidas las logísticas.
  • Creciente amenaza del ransomware (códigos maliciosos): Es la principal preocupación para las empresas globales, con un impacto significativo en la cadena de suministro y los servicios.
  • Ciber-Resiliencia por zonas geográficas: Podréis observar en el gráfico C de la página 5 en la que Europa se encuentra en una posición intermedia sin estar en ninguna zona de excelencia.

CIBERSEGURIDAD EN LA LOGÍSTICA (páginas 15-21)

  1. Cadenas de suministro interconectadas: La alta dependencia de sistemas digitales y la falta de preparación en pequeñas empresas aumentan la vulnerabilidad de toda la red logística. Las PYMEs son un eslabón débil que los atacantes pueden aprovechar para penetrar en grandes
  2. Impacto del ransomware en la logística: Los ataques podrían paralizar operaciones críticas, desde transporte marítimo hasta distribución terrestre, lo que afectaría la continuidad operativa y aumentaría los costes de recuperación.

Shipper of Trust, Twice Awarded in 2024

These recognitions are a great reward for an associative project born from a collective effort.

The Certificate Shipper of Trust (CCR) has received the 2024 CEL Award for the best sustainable logistics project this December, just a few days ago. It also received the 10 Award for Excellence in Logistics and Transport in June, granted by Cadena de Suministro. The CCR certification, based on the global standard “IRU-GSA-ITF Charter” for improving driver conditions at loading & unloading points (jointly created by transporters, shippers, and driver unions), aligns with the new European CS3D Directive, which legitimizes the pillars of the new business outlook on the logistics of the future: ethical, resilient, and sustainable.

These recognitions are a great reward for an associative project born from a cohesive collective effort through many collaborators, both internal and external to Transprime Spanish Shippers’ Council (SSC), to whom we deeply appreciate their sincere cooperation and their willingness to contribute, contribute, and contribute. They have had the honest intention to create and promote a new logistical frequency that stimulates the best version of shipper companies. Through the voluntary accreditation of ethical and excellent logistical behavior, they align with the intention to drive logistics towards a resilient scenario where key players and shippers are designed to be future-proof.

“The Driver First”, thank you, Javier Miranda, for creating this great slogan that has united us all in the same mission. Thanks to the jury members for recognizing the CCR project. Thanks to Alberto Blanco and Carlos Díaz for your tireless energy and expertise. Thanks to our “early adopters” and founders of the certification: Carburos Metálicos and Freixenet, who have allowed their logistical models to serve as benchmarks for shared logistical improvement. Thanks to Ramón Valdivia for the unconditional support and legitimacy of this initiative, which is now also creating the Responsible Transporter Certification (CTR).

Everything fits, everything flows, and everything advances with the desire to exist kindly, in connection and harmony with all agents of the logistics ecosystem, in a new way of understanding the world: CCR voluntary accreditation as a vehicle for logistical understanding. This endearing situation reminds me of my role models and transports me to my happy arcadia, to a way of acting similar to that of the inhabitants of Asterix’s Gallic village. They possess a magic potion that gives them two powers: the first and most visible is their evident physical strength; the second, less visible (but more important), is the resilience and assertiveness to harmoniously and empathetically connect with the essence of the people, elements, and things around them.

In this way, intuitively and always accurately, they choose the best path to be and exist, future-proof, in accordance with their common sense, which transforms their values into universal standards of positive connection.
