Environmentally friendly logistics? It's possible!
Almost 80% of respondents to 'The 2017 Climate Survey. Evaluating Progress on Climate Change' believe that companies should successively reduce their carbon consumption in the supply chain. At venax.net, we are committed to green logistics, which focuses on reducing the environmental impact of transport services. See how we operate!
The logistics industry needs to change
Transport now accounts for half of the world's oil consumption and almost 20% of the world's energy consumption, with nearly 40% linked to urban transport. The International Energy Agency expects these figures to increase steadily until 2050, mainly due to online shopping.
As a result, the logistics industry must find a more innovative way to distribute goods while balancing economic growth and conservation of natural resources.
Reports from the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicate that more than 70% of the most polluted cities in the European Union are located in Poland. The problem is serious, and one of the main reasons for this appears to be traffic.
At venax.net we are aware of the seriousness of the situation, which is why we are systematically implementing modern green logistics solutions. We rely on low-emission transport and all vehicles in our fleet meet the demanding EURO6 emission standards. As a result, we have significantly reduced our carbon dioxide emissions to an acceptable level.
Our activities
The green logistics implemented by venax.net aims, among other things, to measure the carbon footprint of logistics operations, to reduce air, soil and water pollution and to use raw materials sensibly. In practice, this means optimising transport through the right choice of trailers and reducing unloaded trips.
To date, we have expanded our range to include:
- Double Deck trailers, which allow pallets to be stacked on top of each other;
- City Liner trailers, which allow entry into city centres with a tractor unit and load up to 10 pallets more than conventional vans;
- swap body containers, which can be combined into tandems.
Thanks to these and other solutions, we can optimise loading space and reduce the number of journeys to the bare minimum.
How do we combine efficiency with environmental protection?
Companies opting for a greener economy must choose to what extent they can implement solutions that take into account the environmental impact of their operations. The new strategies are likely to translate into the operations of all logistics companies that decide to take this step.
The challenge is to find solutions that balance all the important issues, including reducing costs, improving service levels and reducing the carbon footprint of logistics operations.
At venax.net, we are aware of the environmental impact of logistics operations. Therefore, we are constantly implementing technologies and procedures that help to reduce the carbon footprint of our vehicles. Furthermore, we use sustainable strategies in all our solutions and meet the highest industry standards.
