Warehousing and logistics are evolving rapidly, and businesses need to stay ahead of those changes. At the top of the current industry trends are green logistics and sustainable warehousing – key areas for the UK’s target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Whilst transport emissions in 2022 were 7.7% lower than in 2019, pre-pandemic, it is still the largest emitting sector in the UK, accounting for 34% of carbon dioxide emissions last year.
Businesses are the third largest contributors at 18.7%. This demonstrates that there is a lot of work to be done in order to reach the UK’s target on time.
Sustainable warehousing not only reduces emissions and increases energy efficiency, but it also improves productivity, brand reputation and even a business’s bottom line. Setting up a sustainable logistics chain is an essential part of the process and will ensure that carbon emission reductions are established throughout, leading to greater control and measurability of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
This is a daunting prospect for many, and it is important to get advice and support that is specific to your business.
Dawsongroup energy solutions provides just such a bespoke service. Beginning with a free personal consultation and site visit, they advise and assist businesses on every step of the journey to decarbonisation. Your consultant will take the time to fully understand your business and environmental goals to provide the best solution.
Improving the energy efficiency of your operations makes sense in terms of both the environmental impact and reduction in costs. Roof or ground mounted solar panels can provide renewable energy to your business whilst battery systems store excess electricity for use at peak times. Advanced renewable technologies with integrated controls can be integrated into your facilities along with temperature and climate control, insulation, and natural lighting.
With the deadline for transitioning to electric vehicles rapidly approaching, and the ZEV Mandate being implemented from January next year, there will be a significant impact on logistics. Most businesses are heading towards the electrification of their fleets, with some investigating the validity of other alternative fuels, including biofuels, hydrogen, and compressed air. As this technology becomes mainstream, Dawsongroup will have the scale and the knowledge to identify the best option for your business and provide everything you need to make the transition.
