Green Logistics and Carbon Reduction in Distribution

Customers and regulators increasingly expect African distributors to measure and reduce the carbon footprint of moving goods, while fuel remains a major operating cost. This course shows delegates how to cut emissions and cost together across transport, warehousing and packaging. The approach is practical and grounded in the realities of regional road networks and energy supply.

What you will be able to do

  • Measure the carbon footprint of transport and warehousing activities.
  • Identify emission and cost reduction opportunities across distribution.
  • Optimise routing and load consolidation to cut fuel and emissions.
  • Evaluate alternative fuels and modal shift options realistically.
  • Reduce packaging waste and improve warehouse energy efficiency.
  • Report distribution emissions credibly to customers and management.
