Achieve Carbon Neutral Deliveries: The Future of Sustainable Logistics
The transportation and logistics industry is on the brink of a green revolution.
With the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions, transport and logistics businesses are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
Recent figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveal that 16.1% of transportation and storage sector companies are ‘very concerned’ about the impact of climate change, the highest of any business sector.
However, many businesses are not translating that concern into action, affecting the carbon footprint of retailers and partners using their services. While more transportation and storage companies have set net zero emissions targets (8%) compared to other sectors, they have implemented fewer green initiatives to achieve these goals.
This is understandable. The future of haulage may be electric and hydrogen-powered, but these technologies are still emerging and leave logistics firms with few tangible solutions to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices.
Carbon neutral deliveries offer a practical and affordable solution to set your business apart.

Offsetting your fleet’s fuel emissions can cost less than £0.01 per mile with Switch2Zero, making it an accessible and cost-effective strategy while the transition to net zero ramps up.

How to Achieve Carbon Neutral Deliveries
Achieving carbon neutral deliveries involves calculating the carbon footprint of your fleet and investing in verified offset projects to balance out those emissions.
