Logistics emissions data Green logistics are now regarded as good business practice as it provides a lot of opportunities for having a positive impact on financial and operational metrics without the need to trade off economic costs against environmental benefits. As stated in the SFC Annual report (SFC, 2020), freight transportation generates 8% of global CO2e emission and as much as 11% if logistics sites are also considered. Sustainable reforms of the sector are required as between now and 2050 the world will see a doubling in freight emissions, according to the International Transport Forum. |

Different modes of transport of freights are used based on the distance and time of the delivery requirement. Figure above and Figure below show the data of CO2e emissions of UK and the logistics provider DHL which both suggest that air transportation accounts for the majority of the emissions also justified due to usage of jet fuel and damping of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission at high altitudes which increases the quantity of the global warming potential (GWP) impact in the atmosphere (Sathaye, 2006). |
