As we step further into the 21st century, rapid cross-sector carbon emissions reduction is fundamental to our society’s sustainable development. The transportation sector is one of the largest global polluters and almost all companies use transports in their operations – making this a joint responsibility to increase our sustainability efforts to mitigate climate change. So, what can be done to make sustainable transports a prioritized and actionable topic across sectors?

Logivity have been conducting research into the leading thoughts in the logistics and transportation industry regarding sustainability. Logivity commissioned EY to conduct research, perform interviews and prepare the report. Through qualitative interviews with transportation buyers across sectors as well as through research, our ambition is to capture challenges, trends, strategies, and success cases of sustainable logistics in a single study to build knowledge around how to successfully decarbonize logistics and transportation. We’ve interviewed logistics managers, sustainability managers and global experts from companies such as Ericsson, Volvo, SKF, SSAB, Assa Abloy, Kongsberg Automotive, Hempel, EY, Stadium, Lindex, Industrilås, Bevego and others.

We hope this playbook serves as an inspiration and motivation for the industry in general and the transportation buyers in particular in a rapidly evolving and complex business environment. It is designed to provide learnings, insights and tactics helping companies to move to a more sustainable future.
