Any freight and logistics company that thinks it can put environmental concerns on the backburner needs to think again. Because customers are putting the environment at the top of their lists. Smart Freight Centre is showcasing the strategies of some major shippers, leading the way on how to work towards carbon neutrality. It’s IKEA this time. “Our long term ambition is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% per shipment by 2030,” said Elisabeth Munck af Rosenschöld, head of sustainability, IKEA Supply Chain Operations. A voice surely worth heeding.
