Companies face increasing expectations to build sustainability into their strategy and operations, embracing clear environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, particularly net-zero commitments and deadlines for implementation. Stricter regulations, rising community awareness and the strive for competitive advantage place significant burden on supply chains, the largest source of Greenhouse related emissions for all companies.

Neollect may support you to navigate this complexity and create value, by proposing strategies that minimize the overall environmental and socioeconomic footprint of your logistics activities.

The scope of sustainable logistics embraces all activities of upstream, within the organizational boundaries and downstream flows of products in companies.
