Digital transformation is a strategic priority at Brambles and plays a significant role in our sustainability strategy. By digitizing our pool of pallets, we illuminate the supply chain and gain valuable insights into the movement of our assets and the products they carry. This increased visibility allows us to recover more assets, enhancing our circular business model's efficiency by keeping materials in use for longer and minimizing our demand for natural resources.

Interview with Warren Pearce

Australia has two choices: reinvest in new technologies to produce higher quality nickel products or wait for market conditions to improve. The demand for nickel is expected to rise in the next three to five years, and Indonesia may not be able to meet all of this increased demand. However, without significant investment in our nickel industry, Australia will struggle to compete with Indonesia's low-cost production, which is heavily supported by Chinese investment.
