We use this metric to assess all the actions implemented by the company to improve the efficiency of its transport.
The following is a summary of the best practices in the sector in terms of logistics efficiency:
- Biofuels
- Transport by rail instead of road whenever possible.
- Adherence to the Lean & Green programme which recognises the quantifiable reduction of carbon emissions.
- Reverse logistics. Planning of journeys, both outbound and return, avoids unnecessary journeys.
- Targets to reduce the number of kilometres travelled per year.
- Measurement of CO2 emissions generated by the transport of goods from your establishments.
- Use of mixed bitemperature lorries that can accommodate both dry and refrigerated food products in the same lorry.
- Low rolling resistance and roof spoilers on trucks to reduce fuel consumption.
- Natural gas vehicles
- Improved demand planning.
- Continuous optimisation of the source purchase transport model.
- Concentration and simplification of the platform map.
- Implementation of a Transport Manager System, which optimises the planning and monitoring of routes and the filling of goods.
- Collaboration with suppliers to optimise the use of vehicles.
- Renewal of the fleet with the incorporation of vehicles adapted to the new European Union Euro 6 anti-pollution regulations.
- Use of fuel additives that can reduce greenhouse gases.
- Promotion of the use of electric vehicles.
- Use of vehicles that allow for more optimal filling, such as city trailers.
- Use of vehicles that use liquefied petroleum gas as fuel.
- Megatrailers or Megatrucks of high capacity (at least 100m�).
- Slow Steaming, (speed in maritime transport significantly lower than its maximum speed). in order to reduce fuel costs: With this practice it is possible to reduce it by 59%.
- Consolidation at origin. This allows national transport to be reduced to a minimum, as it is sent directly from the ports of arrival to the nearest destination warehouse, thus minimising road transport.
We will "assign a" "YES" "to this question if:
- The company declares that it has implemented at least 2 measures to improve logistics efficiency (see previous list of best practices as an example)
We will assign a "NO" if:
- The company communicates declarations without specifying concrete actions such as "" we will improve our logistics efficiency ""; "" we have sustainable, responsible, ecological transport, etc ... ""; "" we work to reduce the emissions associated with logistics transport "", etc ...
