Sustainability has become a top priority for logistics companies around the world as they respond to growing pressure from customers and governments to reduce their carbon footprint. Companies like DB Schenker and Geodis are leading the charge, announcing ambitious plans to achieve carbon neutrality in their operations by 2035.
DB Schenker has already introduced electric delivery trucks in urban areas across Europe and has been testing autonomous delivery vehicles to cut down on emissions. Similarly, Geodis has launched several green logistics initiatives, including the use of renewable energy to power their warehouses and implementing carbon offset programs for customers who want to make their shipments more eco-friendly.
At the same time, logistics companies are exploring innovative packaging solutions that minimize waste, along with promoting the use of multimodal transport to reduce their environmental impact. Customers are increasingly selecting providers based on their sustainability initiatives, making this a key area of competition in the logistics sector.
