Decarbonizing freight and logistics is hard, but imperative. In today’s episode we learn from industry-leading practitioners how to “just do it.” Serge Schamschula, Head of Ecosystem at Transporeon, and Marcelo Marcal, Logistics Procurement Director at Electrolux Global, join the show to share best practices on integrating sustainable decision making into freight and logistics procurement. From setting ambitious targets, tracking progress, and collaborating with stakeholders, listeners will learn that positive climate action is possible in this space. And it’s happening sooner than we think. While advanced technologies like battery electric or carbon-neutral fuels are growing, they are long term solutions. To create change in this moment, companies like Electrolux are turning to near-term fixes like modal switch and improved data access and exchange through reporting efforts like CDP supply chain.
