Transport and Logistics

Sustainable transportation and logistics are essential to building a more resilient world economy that provides sustenance, connectivity, and opportunity to all, while protecting nature and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Logistics and transport are the invisible backbone of international commerce—both are increasingly vulnerable to the turbulence of a changing climate, global pandemics, societal unrest, and other disruptions.

The industry is both a vital contributor to global development—the jobs and livelihoods of billions of people, and rising standards of living, depend on it—and a significant source of environmental impacts, ranging from climate change and ecosystems to air quality, noise, land use, and waste.

Carriers and shippers alike have an opportunity to develop sustainable business strategies and through advanced technologies, IT solutions, energy security, and increased efficiency.

By adopting more sustainable business models, companies can improve their environmental and societal performance and create more resilient supply chains that ensure that fuel, foods, medicines, emergency supplies, and other essential goods reach their destinations on time.
