SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY
Once viewed as a stakeholder bonus or compliance exercise, green logistics is now a defining measure of business resilience, costefficiency and corporate responsibility.
As logistics accounts for 11 % of global greenhouse gas emissions – according to the World Economic Forum( WEF) – and freight volumes continue to climb, the sector faces mounting pressure to decarbonise. The pressure goes beyond regulation, reflecting a growing business case for long-term competitiveness, part of which includes sustainable practices to reduce emissions, lower costs and offer insurance against geopolitical and economic shocks.
Across industries, businesses are waking up to the fact that green logistics is no longer simply about doing the right thing, but doing the smart thing. The use of alternative fuels, EVs, smarter route planning and digital tools, now offers additional benefits such as fuel savings, greater delivery efficiency, compliance with regulation and consumer value.
In emerging regions, including the GCC and China, investment in sustainable freight solutions is accelerating fast. They’ re bypassing legacy systems which more established green players had to navigate, instead opting for modern, advanced clean technology.
