What is sustainability in logistics?

In logistics, sustainability means implementing measures to reduce the environmental impact of logistics operations. This includes minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, optimizing transportation routes, using eco-friendly vehicles, managing inventory efficiently, and employing sustainable packaging. The objective is to enhance efficiency, minimize waste, and mitigate negative environmental consequences.

History overview of sustainability

In 1987, the Brundtland Report, also known as Our Common Future, published by the UN World Commission on Environment and Development, initially defined sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The Nippon Express Group is committed to sustainability management, aiming to continually develop the business and create value by establishing frameworks for each company to independently address various sustainability issues.

What are we doing?

At Hub & Logistics SA, sustainability is a tangible and measurable plan based on the continuous improvement of our operational practices:

  • Route optimization: utilizing automated planning systems.
  • Use of efficient vehicles: incorporating hybrid or fully electric vehicles.
  • Hydrogen-powered vehicles using Hydromaverich’s system.
  • Consolidation of shipments: encouraging freight consolidation to reduce costs and emissions.
  • Vehicle monitoring and management: employing monitoring systems to optimize vehicle efficiency.

Last year, we introduced hydrogen-powered boats for deliveries in Venice. Here is a very interesting article about it.

Dedicated team

Our team of specialists is dedicated to continuous improvement and the pursuit of excellence in all that we do. Shipping specialists, customs technicians, logistics designers, digital experts, and passionate employees work harmoniously to achieve our corporate objectives.

The ultimate goal of sustainability in logistics is to strike a balance between transportation needs and the efficient use of resources while minimizing environmental impact. This requires a holistic approach, encompassing diverse strategies and actions, and an ongoing commitment to enhancing logistics practices towards increasingly sustainable models.
