New Wave Group depends on the distribution of our products. Transportations must be both efficient and sustainable to meet our requirements.
Most of New Wave Group transportations consist of container shipments between Asia and Europe, resulting in an average shipment of 3 150 containers per year.
The transports sector accounts for a substantial part of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Sea transports are generally the best alternative when it comes to long-distance carriages, while air transports have the highest emission of CO2. This negative impact further increases when emissions take place on high altitude. For this reason, New Wave Group is working to reduce air transports to situations where it is absolutely necessary.
We have two main strategies to decrease our environmental impact and to cut our emission of greenhouse gases. First of all, we strive to influence the transportation providers that we are cooperating with. The biggest impact from an environmental point of view would be eco-friendly fuels and vessels with improved fuel- and energy efficiency. The shipping companies hence have great possibilities to further improve their operations. The environment and the future of global trade will depend on sea transportation to address the challenge with emerging greenhouse gas emissions.
Our membership in“ Clean Shipping Index” aims to impact the shipping companies to use cleaner vessels by ranking the most highperforming ships. Through the Clean Shipping Platform, we have access to data on emissions of greenhouse gases – generating scores like“ Low”,“ Medium” and“ Good”. New Wave Group is working with some of the largest transportation companies on the market, all of which have environmental programs in place for their operations.
Last but not least, we always strive to improve our own logistics and work methods. Within New Wave Group, we club together as much as possible of our shipments and transportations. Besides from protecting the environment, sustainable solutions could also contribute to the streamlining of our business. Hence, the environmental work is a natural part of our journey towards a more sustainable and profitable company.
“ The flow of goods within New Wave Group could contribute to lower the environmental impact. Sustainability is a natural part of our professionalism.”
