Osmo Kammonen, Senior Vice President, Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs, started “ the presentation spell” by telling us about the company´s history and briefly about their business areas and future plans. We learned that Neste Oil was established in 1948 as the state petrol company, to secure Finland’s oil supply and now it is categorized as a refining and marketing company. Anyhow, the most amazing thing to hear was that an airline is testing Neste Oil´s renewable diesel as a flying fuel. Go Lufhansa! Though is still quite expensive we hope more airlines turning towards a greener future.
After Osmo´s introduction lecture, Henrik Erämetsä, Head of Market Development, Renewable Fuels, continued telling some more interesting points about ecological diesel. “It´s 2 to 3 times more expensive but it can be used in the engine of a normal car as it is”. So no matter which car you have you could use renewable fuel? If we understood it right, it sounds easy.
Last speaker, Risto Heikkala, working as a logistics manager in Renewable Fuels, spoke about the importance of supply chain management. All of us have probably heard a term “offshoring”, but what is “nearshoring” though? It is a derivative of offshoring - transferring task and business back close to companies. Neste Oil seems to push a lot into sustainability, but how does sustainability show in logistics strategy though? “Of course it shows, heavy vessel with tanks full of oil and raw materials are tried to transfer during as favorable wind circumstances as possible. Let the wind blow! We thank Neste Oil for their hospitality and interesting presentations.
