Net Zero Retail Logistics ThinkTank #2: DfT Roundtable

This event is exclusive to BRC Retail Members.

---

In recognising the need to accelerate the decarbonisation of logistics to meet near and long term net zero targets of both government and retailers, we are convening a Net Zero Retail Logistics Think Tank for collective action in identifying barriers and driving progress.

Over a series of workshops, the Think Tank objective will be to identify the enablers and support required from government, logistics industry and infrastructure development for retailers to achieve a cost-effective transition to zero-carbon logistics to meet government phase-out target dates.

This second workshop is a Roundtable with the Department of Transport for discussion on current/future policy, government initiatives to support logistics decarbonisation (with a specific focus on HGV fuels and infrastructure), as well as barriers and opportunities pertinent to the retail sector.

Chaired by:

• Justin Laney, General Manager – Fleet, John Lewis Partnerships (BRC Climate Action Roadmap Logistics Pathway Lead)

Attendees:

• BRC members (Logistics / Transport / Fleet / Sustainability)
• Department for Transport
  • Graham MacGruer, Head of Zero Emission HGV Implementation
  • Sebastian Rowlands, Head of Zero Emission HGV Infrastructure Strategy
