Smart Freight Centre (SFC) and the British International Freight Association (BIFA) have announced a new partnership to provide technical expertise to BIFA members to support them in managing complex emissions reporting.
Andy Golding, director strategic services, Smart Freight Centre.
Through the SFC Academy, BIFA members will gain discounted access to expert-led training across three key areas: the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework, market-based measures mechanisms, and road freight electrification. Each course draws on SFC’s expertise to give freight forwarders the practical knowledge they need to act on decarbonisation.
The partnership reflects growing demand from freight forwarders for credible, actionable guidance as regulatory requirements and commercial pressure to decarbonise supply chains intensifies globally.
SFC and BIFA will continue to explore opportunities to expand the collaboration and further support the sector’s transition to zero-emission logistics.
Steve Parker, BIFA’s director general says: “This partnership is BIFA’s latest initiative in equipping the trade association’s members with the information and support that they require to deliver emissions reporting and decarbonisation solutions that are viable operationally and commercially.
“In the last few years, we have created a policy group that is looking into the issues surrounding sustainable logistics, as well as developing a dedicated area of our website, packed with useful information, including a good practice guide.”
Jamie McKean, BIFA’s sustainable logistics policy adviser adds: “The SFC Academy is widely respected for its pragmatic and industry-focused approach to sustainability training. Through this partnership, and by offering discounted access to its courses, BIFA members will be better equipped with the tools and knowledge they need.”
