Cargo-Partner values sustainability
Cargo-Partner is reducing paper consumption in its global network. It has already digitised and by revamped a range of business processes. In air freight, Cargo-Partner began the ongoing transition to e-AWBs in 2015 and increased its share of e-AWBs by 26% for shipments from Asia and by 13% for shipments from Europe within twelve months. Furthermore, the group measures the paper consumption of its subsidiaries in all centrally registered printers worldwide.
The switch to electronic delivery orders (eDOs) and proofs of delivery (ePODs) has also reduced the use of paper. In Singapore, Cargo-Partner has achieved a 30% reduction over the past three years. In Thailand, paper consumption has been lowered by 25% and in Vietnam by 15%.
The Australian office, established in Melbourne in 2019, has been working paperless from the start, using Cargowise logistics software. It will serve as a pilot for a future rollout across the company. (sh)
