With freight volumes projected to quadruple by 2050, freight transport emissions will swell further. Shippers and their logistics providers face growing pressure to decarbonise their supply chain while reducing costs. While some leading businesses are already deploying sustainability technologies and strategies to reduce freight emissions, these practices are not yet widely adopted.
This webinar will help companies understand the range of strategies that can be deployed to measure and reduce freight emissions, as well as illustrate what “carbon visibility” looks like in the real world and how to achieve it. Our expert panellists will share a step-by-step guide, including insights about how to use emissions data to drive decision-making and accelerate the transition to more sustainable supply chains.
You'll walk away with a solid understanding of how to:
- Collect the data needed to calculate the carbon footprint of your entire supply chain
- Understand your biggest emitters
- Plan a strategy to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable supply chain
- Share the impact of your climate action with stakeholders
This webinar is for shippers and logistics providers interested in advancing freight supply chain sustainability.
