Logistics guidance for sustainability ahead
The Smart Freight Center, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and 25 more global companies, including Maersk, which joined only a short while ago, are part of a consortium seeking to co-develop actionable and implementable guidance to quantify the impact of end-to-end GHG logistics emissions from supplier to final customer. The initiative aims to increase transparency on carbon emissions and work together towards net-zero logistics.
Supported by the World Economic Forum and built on analytical insights provided by McKinsey & Company, the future guidance is meant to span the entire supply chain – from supplier to customer – and will be published by the end of 2022, with an intended formal launch planned during the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos in January 2023.
The organisations participating this initiative are: A.P. Moller-Maersk, Aeme, Aldi Süd, Amazon, APL Logistics, ArcelorMittal, CMA CGM, Colgate-Palmolive, Convoy, Dow Chemical, the DPD Group, the Deutsche Post DHL Group, Eco Trans IT World, the European Shippers Council, Kuehne+Nagel, Nestlé, PSA International, Posti, Project44, Scania, Selfridges, Siemens, TK Blue Agency, Uber, Unilever, UPS and Volkswagen.
