It is a generally accepted truth that supply chains contribute up to 80 % of an organisation ’ s total carbon emissions – or so-called Scope 3 emissions . As such , a huge responsibility rests with the logistics industry to help the globe hit its net zero targets by 2050 .
Innovation and collaboration are already key drivers of success in supply ’ s bid to clean itself up . As we shall see , such sustainability successes and goals come in all forms – from low-resistant truck tyres to technology that can provide at-a-glance snapshots of global supply chains with 10,000 moving parts .
But big or small , local or international , every move to save energy in the logistics industry moves us closer to carbon neutral nirvana . Let ’ s start with the macro moves – sustainability on a grand scale .
