With up to 75% of a company’s carbon footprint coming from transportation and logistics, the focus of supply chain greening is beginning to shift towards this area.

A recent survey revealed that 69% of respondents believe that green issues will become more important to their transport and logistic processes over the next three years, and a further 9% identified green issues as their number one priority over this period.

Environmental initiatives are often thought to be detrimental to supply chain efficiency. However the survey response has challenged this with 66% or respondents stating that their green transport and logistics are not affecting efficiency. Furthermore, 27% reported that green initiatives actually make their supply chain more efficient.
