Why is the
The move to “green up” the supply chain took another step forward in
September, when freight forwarding and logistics giant Kuehne + Nagel
International AG announced a “net zero carbon” program that includes
making its less-than-containerload (LCL) shipments carbon-neutral and
replacing most business travel with videoconferences by 2020.
Schindellegi, Switzerland-based Kuehne + Nagel says its efforts to
combat global warming will also include the use of big data and digital
platforms to optimize transport routes and modes from a carbon dioxide
(CO2) perspective, not just for cost and speed. The company says its net
zero carbon program leverages three fields of action: detection, reduction,
and compensation of CO2.
That plan will affect not only the CO2 footprint of Kuehne + Nagel’s
own operations but also the transportation services performed by its suppliers—airlines, shipping lines, and haulage companies. The company says
it is aiming for comprehensive CO2 neutralization by 2030.
The move comes amid a spate of global climate-change protests, including a September “climate strike” in which thousands of students and
activists demonstrated in cities around the globe, and the speech delivered
to the U.N. General Assembly in New York City by Swedish teen climate
activist Greta Thunberg. ;
