With a 9% share of global gross domestic product (GDP), the logistics industry – ocean and air freight, road and rail transport, ports and warehouses – is responsible for 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Faced with increasing pressure from consumers, business partners and governments, the global logistics industry is looking for ways to reduce its carbon footprint.
It’s a three-step approach:
- Measure: Define scope and boundaries, calculate greenhouse gas inventory, understand impact
- Plan: Set goals, create a decarbonization strategy, scenario analysis, reporting tools, progress tracking
- Change: Renewable energy, supply chain, initiatives, innovation, carbon neutrality
Where on this path is your company or logistics service provider?
