According to the Sustainable Freight Buyers Alliance, freight transport accounts for 8% of global CO₂ emissions, with a predicted increase to 42% by 2050.
This percentage of emissions, which equates to 5.5 billion tonnes of CO₂ per year has been set a 2050 reduction target of two-thirds to help achieve the 1.5oC goal as set in the Paris Agreement 2015.
Our customers who rely on transportation for raw materials and goods across the world are themselves researching ways to help them commit to offsetting their own transportation emissions and address sustainability issues to combat the greenhouse gas emergency and become a net-zero business.
