Green habits for goods transport


Haulage

Choose a haulier who can optimise loading rates, limit empty runs and train drivers in environmentally friendly driving techniques.

Better filling of transport units reduces both costs and the associated greenhouse gases. The same applies to empty runs made by the transport units. Training drivers in environmentally friendly road driving also helps limit GHG emissions by improving consumption.

Limit your "tonne-kilometres"

Maximising the loading of flows and optimising journeys reduces the mileage travelled and optimises the loading rate of transport vehicles. A decrease in tonne.kilometres (tkm) leads to a reduction in the associated GHG emissions.

Promote transport methods using alternative energies

The use of "cleaner" means of transport in terms of CO2 emissions, through modal shift or the use of alternative energies (for road and river modes), helps to reduce GHG emissions.

Favouring carriers that are committed to a CSR approach

Choosing a carrier that is committed to a CSR approach ensures that the carrier has taken action in favor of the environment and that it has integrated eco-friendly practices into its activities.
