Statistics about vehicle emissions might worry you, what with the growing global alarm about air pollution and climate change. While transport emissions make up a portion of our net greenhouse gas emissions, most of these are from aviation, and domestic emissions are slowly decreasing.
Reducing waste and emissions (without reducing profits) is on the minds of most businesses these days. There are many things that we can do to make the transportation industry greener, like:
⦿ Optimising the supply chain with sustainable sources and end-to-end data visibility
⦿ Switching to alternative fuels and/or investing in more eco-friendly vehicles
⦿ Modifying routes and loads for cost and fuel efficiency (reducing empty kilometres/miles)
⦿ Shifting to clean (renewable) energy at warehouses and related facilities
As we all look to the future and do our part to ensure a clean and safe world for everyone, we’ll start to see emissions reduce over time. At John K. Philips, we’re also taking steps to become a more eco-friendly haulage company – we’re even expanding our fleet by investing in optimised mega-trailers.
