This event is exclusive to BRC Retail Members and by invitation only. 


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 first workshop will bring together senior logistics stakeholders from across the retail and transport industry with government to join the dots on current initiatives, identify gaps and proactively map the way forward.
