Sustainability - Green Logistics
AGL’s sustainability program encompasses environmental, social, and corporate governance. We facilitate the connection of people and goods through sustainable logistics solutions.
Global trade is a catalyst for global well-being, yet the moment has come to revamp the manner in which it is carried out. It is now imperative to engage in trade in accordance with the principles of nature.
Our commitment to a zero-carbon future extends to our customers, as we offer solutions aimed at minimising CO2 emissions in their supply chains. Leveraging big data, predictive analytics, and digital platforms, we facilitate the selection of more sustainable transport routes and modes.
Zero Carbon Business Model
The significant impacts of acidification and global warming on our natural ecosystems pose a severe threat to life on Earth. There is an urgent need and desire to alter this reality. It is well understood that the logistics industry is responsible for approximately 21% of the global CO2 emissions.
As pioneers in the industry, we are dedicated to diminishing our share of that percentage by proactively lowering our CO2 emissions in transportation. Additionally, we are committed to creating solutions that aid our customers in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
Our primary goals for reducing CO2 emissions in transportation include:
Implementing robust carbon management across all operations
Offering environmentally friendly solutions and products to our customers
Procuring logistics services based on environmental criteria
Our Sustainability Goals
Our sustainability objectives center around the comprehensive reduction of CO2 emissions across all our global transport and logistics services. We have outlined two key targets to achieve our overarching goal:
Attain full carbon neutrality in our direct influence zone from 2020 onward, encompassing Scopes 1 and 2 of the GHG Protocol.
Decrease CO2 emissions by 33% across our operations, our suppliers, and customers' footprints by the end of 2030, inclusive of Scope 3 of the GHG Protocol.
Minimizing Emission
At AGL, we incorporate environmentally conscious methods, optimizing transportation routes, and embracing cleaner technologies aligning with the Global Environmental objectives that also improve operational efficiency, fostering a substantial role in alleviating the effects of climate change.
Minimizing Wastage
At AGL, our objective is to decrease waste in logistics by implementing measures that minimize the generation of excess materials and optimize resource usage across the supply chain.
These measures encompass efficient inventory management, streamlined packaging practices, and the adoption of recycling initiatives.
Through these efforts, we believe that minimizing wastage in logistics not only enhances sustainability and reduces environmental impact but also contributes to overall operational efficiency.
Compliance with Government Guidelines
At AGL, our commitment to a low-carbon business model extends to ensuring strict adherence to government guidelines. Through active incorporation and compliance with established environmental regulations, we actively contribute to sustainable practices and demonstrate our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint.
This commitment not only aligns with regulatory expectations but also positions us as responsible stewards in the journey towards a more environmentally conscious and sustainable business future.
