Sustainable Logistics is a Strategic Necessity
Up to 80% of a company's emissions can stem from its value chain; businesses have a unique opportunity to lead the charge towards a more sustainable future.
In today’s rapidly changing world, where climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges, businesses have a unique opportunity to lead the charge towards a more sustainable future.
The supply chain, a critical driver of economic activity, is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Research shows that up to 80% of a company's emissions can stem from its value chain - far beyond its own operations.
The time is to act now. The question becomes how quickly can you adapt?
Reasons to attend

Freight volume continues to grow, with sustainability and efficiency becoming key industry priorities. Supply chains are a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, estimated to contribute 8% of the total global emissions omitted. With logistics processes today heavily reliant on fossil fuels, reducing these emissions helps combat climate change and reduce pollution.
As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, retailers that take early action will be better prepared for future disruptions, such as carbon pricing, resource shortages and shifting customer expectations.
Join this webinar, the first of our Climate Action Week 2025 schedule, to take action on creating sustainable logistics.
