Strenghthen my CSR policy

You would like to integrate transport in your GHG reduction strategy by joining a dedicated program. Bring your transport and CSR teams together but also the R&D, purchases and production departments in order to work towards ambitious and realistic plans. These actions should be set around four fundamental levers : better fill rate, lower traveled distance, greener means of transport and more sustainable purchases.

Transport weighs heavily on a business carbon footprint. The stakes are high: climate change, increasing expectations from public opinion and customers, attentive and careful investors upon CSR policies and talent acquisition. You need to clearly set your goals with your teams and establish a realistic course of actions which results you’ll be able to measure thanks to a reporting on CSR goals.

Your customers are more and more attentive to their environmental footprint. Electric or natural gas trucks, railroads, combined or intermodal transport are many of the alternative solutions that are particularly competitive in certain cases. You need to review your flows and find those that will allow you to make your logistics greener without deteriorating your service quality and your costs.

An efficient transport often rimes with a sustainable one. By measuring your transport carbon footprint, you’ll often notice that your optimisation will make it more ecofriendly. Having these data will allow you to increase the value of your actions and better communicate with the public and your investors.

It can be difficult for businesses to keep track with all the environmental regulations. Indeed, the European and national regulations differ on both concrete obligations, calendar and applicable penalties. What are, then, my current CSR obligations?

Choosing a supplier is mainly a production cost driven decision. Yet, in a globalized context, transport operations weigh on the TCO. Plus, compliance obligations are numerous. Favor the collaboration between the purchases and transport departments. Rationalize your sourcing and make it more sustainable. Reduce your procurement time and the distances covered by your goods and reduce your GHG emissions.

The exponential e-commerce growth along with the LEZ (Low Emission Zones) systematization make the last kilometer delivery both complex and costly. You have to anticipate regulatory changes and set an efficient organization in order to honor your promises to your customers, lower your costs and limit your environmental impact.

Pooling allows human resources, material (vehicles, logistic sites..) and non-material (data, software) assets to be shared amongst shippers. It’s an extraordinary efficiency source for the business. Maximize the use of resources in order to satisfy your customers while lowering your transport costs and your carbon footprint.
