As described in the IPCC report, [companies] can reduce direct (tank-to-wheel) greenhouse gas emissions from passenger and freight transport by:

  1. avoiding travel: local procurement, reducing the frequency of meetings and increasing the use of videoconferencing, limiting the number of kilometres travelled per employee, ...
  2. switching to lower carbon transport systems: reducing energy intensity by using more energy efficient means of transport, switching to lightweight materials, ...
  3. reducing the carbon intensity of fuels: replacing oil-based products with products from low greenhouse gas sources.

Here are some examples of decarbonisation measures to reduce emissions from transport & mobility:

Goods & products Freight transport:

  • Use low carbon delivery and distribution options, e.g. electric vehicles, biofuel or alternative fuel trucks, shared/consolidated shipping...
  • Optimise last mile delivery to reduce km per order

Stakeholders mobility:

  • Promote lower carbon business travel options and low carbon business vehicles (electric cars)
  • Encourage online meetings and working from home
  • Promote lower carbon transport options for employee commuting
  • Incentive employees to purchase electric cars or bicycles for personal use
