Geodis sets new emissions reduction targets

Freight forwarder Geodis is targeting a 42% reduction in its own greenhouse gas emissions and a 30% reduction in subcontracted transport emissions. The company said that it would reduce its carbon emissions through the application of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), in compliance with the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5° C.
Geodis plans to continue the transition towards alternative vehicles and modes using carbon-free or bio-sourced energies and installing suitable infrastructures for refuelling and charging.

Alongside the transition of its own fleet, the forwarder will utilise airlines and shipping firms that offer sustainable marine fuel and sustainable aviation fuel.
This will support its customers in optimising their flows and implementing appropriate modal shifts, Geodis said.
It will also look to drive efficiency through the utilisation of the latest generation of aircraft, ships and vehicles as well as optimised loading and itineraries.
