TRANSPORT: How can logistics help cut costs and carbon? Jonathan Riley, partner, Pinsent Masons (chair) Gordon Telling, policy director, Sustainable Freight Solutions Morag White, director, Environment4logistics Jerome Saint-Marc, development director in logistics, Morrisons
Gordon Telling Policy Director Sustainable Freight Solutions Saving costs and reducing carbon through Green logistics
What is Sustainable Freight Solutions • Specialist guidance on: • Cyclist Safety • Out-of hours deliveries • Freight Quality Partnerships • Air Quality management
Where does Carbon come from? • 1 litre of Diesel produces 2.65 kg Carbon Dioxide • Typical fuel consumption 8-10 mpg • 1.3kg per mile • Euro Standards – focussed on noxious emissions • HGVs are largest single emitters • Grammes per tonne/km are lowest with HGV
So how can we reduce Carbon? • Fewer miles • Greener miles • Fuels • Vehicles • Operations
How can we change Operations? • Shift delivery times • Consolidate deliveries • Encourage other modes of public transport
Shifting delivery times • Road network is very congested between 07:00 and 09:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00 • Most customers want their deliveries....... • Out-of-hours / QDDS • Wandsworth trial 25,000l saving • 65 tonnes CO2!
Consolidating deliveries • Consolidation Centres • Delivery & Servicing Plans • Sharing delivery vehicles • Sharing delivery locations • Construction Logistics Plans
Encouraging other modes • - Promoting Cycling • - Improving Cyclist Safety • - 16 fatal collisions in London in 2011
Cyclist Safety • - Ignorant Driver, Ignorant Cyclist • - Cycling Concordat • - Cycle Code • - Cycle Mark

Challenges Challenges • spend to accumulate • people power • industry paradigms www.Environment4Logistics.co.uk
CULTURE Cultural paradigms www.Environment4Logistics.co.uk
SUMMARY Reducing carbon can reduce cost BUT…. • Spend to accumulate – you can’t do this properly without spending something • A clear strategy is vital and realistic KPI’s important for measuring ROI • Board direction is needed but grass roots involvement cannot be ignoredas the enabler to successful implementation • The biggest rewards will only be achieved by challenging the norm and doing something completely different • The businesses that are brave enough to challenge the norm and do so successfully will be those the rest of the industry will be following www.Environment4Logistics.co.uk
FINAL THOUGHTS Food for thought If we do nothing we wont achieve the high targets set. • More legislation & red tape? • Competitors? • The industry is watching the larger players however smaller supply chains and SME’s have more flexibility? www.Environment4Logistics.co.uk
