TIPS TO REDUCE TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS
Through investing in green technologies such as carbon neutral shipping, route
optimisation or renewable sources.
Implement a sustainable sourcing policy.
Promote local suppliers making it a shorter supply chain.
Sea freight: If appropriate opt for sea freight especially for long-distance shipments, as it
has a lower carbon footprint per ton-mile compared to air freight.
Rail and inland waterways: Consider using rail or inland waterways for inland
transportation, which can be more fuel-e昀케cient than road transportation.
Consolidate shipments: Combine multiple shipments to reduce the overall number of
transport trips and increase cargo capacity.
