Delivering Responsibility: Top 10 Logistics Giants and Their Push for Sustainability

The logistics industry is the backbone of global trade and is taking responsibility for its environmental impact. Leading companies are setting ambitious sustainability goals to reduce their carbon footprint.

Here's a look at the top 10 revenue-generating logistics companies and their efforts towards a greener future:

1. United Parcel Service (UPS): Carbon neutral in all operations by 2050.
   
2. Deutsche Post DHL Group (DHL): Net-zero emissions by 2050.
   
3. FedEx Corporation (FedEx): Carbon neutral operations by 2040.
   
4. A.P. Moller-Maersk Group (Maersk): Net-zero by 2040.
   
5. CEVA Logistics: Carbon neutral by 2050.
   
6. Kuehne + Nagel International AG: Reduce scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 33% by 2030 from 2019 base year.
   
7. SF Holdings: Target is to improve carbon efficiency by 55 % and reduce the carbon footprint of each express parcel by 70 % in 2030 from the base year of 2021.
   
8. DSV: Net-zero
   emissions by 2050. This includes operations scope 1 and 2, and scope 3 emissions.

The logistics industry is undergoing a sustainability revolution. As pressure for cleaner operations mounts, we can expect even more ambitious goals and innovative solutions from this critical sector. For example, SF Holdings was the first Chinese logistics company to set climate goals last autumn.

The main task for all companies is finding the most cost-effective solution to implement alternative sustainable fuels to replace existing fossil fuels used.

One thing is for sure we're slowly saying goodbye to diesel in freight.
