For Dane Percy, Vice President Research and Development at Mars Pet Nutrition Europe, supply chain resilience depends on collaboration and innovation.

Speaking at DELIVER Europe 2026, Dane reflected on the value of bringing companies, peers and industry leaders together to discuss what is moving supply chain forward. For Mars Pet Nutrition Europe, the event provided a strong platform to share its message with the wider retail, logistics and supply chain community.

Dane’s session focused on resilience and the role innovation plays in helping businesses respond to pressure, solve problems and keep delivering for consumers. In his view, high-quality and consistent products depend on strong cross-functional collaboration across the business.

That collaboration matters because supply chain performance is not owned by one function alone. R&D, operations, logistics and commercial teams all need to work together to identify challenges, build solutions and maintain consistency for customers and consumers.

For Dane, DELIVER Europe is valuable because it brings together the companies and leaders shaping the future of the industry. Retailers attending the event can hear new ideas, meet relevant partners and understand how to drive progress beyond the room.
