All Chiefs co-launches report on net zero transition in the logistics industry

In 2023, the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics published their annual ‘State of Supply Chain Sustainability’ report. The study found that only 35% of the 2.300 global participants reported having net zero goals and half of this group of companies are not measuring scope 3. Concerned about this reality, and with a shared mission to reduce emissions and achieve net zero logistics by 2050, AllChiefs, Smart Freight Centre and the Rotterdam School of Management have come together to gather actionable insights from industry leaders of those 35%. The researchers set out to understand how the logistics ecosystem can be a fully sustainable industry, providing practical solutions and best practices for organisations to deploy and accelerate their net zero journeys. To achieve this, they brought together expertise from over 75 participants, conducted more than 50 in-depth interviews, and analysed at least 25 research reports from leading institutions, resulting in over 20 company case studies providing insights and inspirations. Major organisations like DHL, C.H Robinson, IATA, Bayer, Cargill, Port of Rotterdam, Mars, Colruyt Group, among many others, have contributed to the report, sharing their visions, innovative solutions, and best practices to decarbonise logistics.
