TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS FOR A SUSTAINABLE CLIMATE
Two degrees celsius . That is the planet boundary for global warming . The temperature is rising faster than predicted and it is due to our emission of greenhouse gases .
The transport sector therefore plays a vital part in the fight for our climate . For New Wave Group , transportation and logistics is a key question as we depend on a well-functioning distribution network . Hence , transportation and logistics must be effecient 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 3 000 containers per year . For long-distance transportations , freights by air or by sea are usually the only available transport mode . Air freights have the highest emissions of greenhouse gases . Even though air freight accounted for less than 2 % of our transported goods between Asia and Europe during 2015 , it generated approximately half of our total emissions of green-house gases , which clearly demonstrates the need for a Zero Vision and to keep air freights to an absolute minimum . We can all act more responsible by planning orders in time .
TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS
We have two main strategies to decrease our environmental impact and to cut our emission of greenhouse gases . First of all , we strive to streamline our own logistics and operations . Within New Wave Group , we club together as much of our shipments and transports as possible . It reduces the environmental footprint as well as the financial cost for our company . Hence , we consider sustainable distribution as a natural part of our journey towards a more profitable company .
New Wave Group strike to contribute to the UN ’ s 17 global sustainability goals . One goal is about fighting climate change .
