Sustainability FAQ
What does sustainability mean in supply chain management?
Companies that integrate a sustainability strategy into their supply chain management strive to deal responsibly and holistically with social, environmental and economic aspects along their supply chain. They attach importance to minimizing the impact of their activities on the environment, thus improving working conditions, conserving resources and promoting ethical business practices. In doing so, they consider the entire value chain, from raw material suppliers to end customers, and seek to achieve positive change in all spheres. Areas of responsibility include, for example, environmentally friendly logistics, transparency, sustainable procurement and resource efficiency, as well as cooperation with suppliers and partners who pursue similar sustainability goals.
How can a transport be made more sustainable?
There are many ways to make transportation more sustainable. For example, environmentally friendly vehicles and technologies can be used to reduce CO2 emissions. By optimizing transport routes and making full use of space capacities on loading areas or in containers, detours and unnecessary empty runs can be avoided. The use of renewable energies and the promotion of recycling and waste reduction also contribute to a sustainable transport.
Are there certifications or standards for sustainable logistics?
Companies operating in logistics can have their sustainability efforts certified. Examples include environmental management in accordance with ISO 14001 or energy management in accordance with ISO 50001. There is also the Green Freight Europe program or the LEED certificate for sustainable buildings. As stakeholders increasingly value environmentally friendly and responsible actions, sustainability certification can become a competitive advantage for companies.
