Baxter Freight launches Sustainable Freight Network
Logistics specialist Baxter Freight has launched the Sustainable Freight Network (SFN), a specialist consultancy solution designed to help businesses take practical, data-driven steps to reduce supply chain emissions and move closer to global climate goals.
The European Environment Agency has stated that the logistics industry could contribute up to 40 per cent of global CO2 emissions, without significant change, by 2050.
Baxter Freight sees the SFN as a timely response to growing commercial and regulatory pressure for businesses to act on their carbon footprint.
Baxter Freight developed the SFN with its core mission in mind: to drive customers’ long-term success by optimising their supply chain whilst minimising environmental impact.
The coming years will see sustainability becoming an integral consideration for businesses, rather than an afterthought as customer expectations rise and regulations tighten.
Richard Jeggo, sales director at Baxter Freight, said: “We’ve spent the last three years incredibly focussed on putting together a unique and innovative proposition to support the marketplace in addressing the significant challenge of tackling scope three emissions in their supply chains.
“What we’ve created is that unique proposition; a holistic consultative carbon management system backed by our own well established logistics expertise.”
The SFN provides specialist consultancy services that help businesses take greater accountability for scope three emissions through a three-step approach.
This includes measuring and reporting, then reducing and removing emissions through route optimisation, intermodal logistics and low carbon fuels, whilst remaining emissions can be neutralised with carbon reduction certificates via the GLEC verified Book and Claim system.
The SFN reflects Baxter Freight’s commitment to responsible growth, using data and expertise to deliver logistics solutions that support commercial performance and environmental responsibility.
Thomas Isler, Innovation and Sustainability manager Baxter Freight added: “The SFN is challenging the industry to move forward, to consider logistics in a new green lens. We provide the most innovative and most credible solutions to the largest problem our customers will face in the years to come.”
For some businesses, reporting on sustainability is mandatory, depending on their size and sector, creating a cascading effect down the supply chain. Voluntary action is also growing as consumers and suppliers demand concrete action. Many companies that have net-zero targets now need to tackle their scope 3 emissions.
Based in Nottingham, Baxter Freight works with UK and global businesses to move goods via road, rail, air and sea. By embedding sustainability within its core services, Baxter Freight helps customers not just react to climate targets but lead in creating lower-carbon supply chains.
