Automotive companies have set out their stalls, with ambitious roadmaps for sustainable products, operations and supply chains. Vehicle logistics will play an integral role in helping them achieve their goals. That is why sustainability credentials and green KPIs are playing an increasingly important role in provider agreements and selection processes for logistics partners in performance assessments and purchasing contracts.
That is why the vehicle logistics teams at OEMs like Volkswagen Group, together with partners like ICL, are putting more focus on ensuring that standardised and accurate emission data are available, as they will play a critical role in the outbound sector meeting its environmental targets.
In this session, Volkswagen Group’s Scott Mabry outlines the carmaker’s objectives for carbon emissions in the supply chain, and its framework for reduction in vehicle logistics. Karen Burmann from IT and software provider describes how the industry should establish common standards to measure and track emissions.
