At Vantage Logistics, climate action is seen as an integral part of our ESG strategy, aimed at reducing emissions, optimizing operations and building sustainable supply chains.

Logistics and emissions pressure: A problem to solve
Logistics activities play an essential role in trade, but they also create significant environmental pressure:
- Freight transport accounts for around 8–10% of global CO₂ emissions.
- Non‑optimised transport routes lead to fuel waste.
- High empty‑container ratios reduce asset utilisation.
- Warehousing systems consume large amounts of energy for storage and operations.

- Mode shift in transport: Prioritising the use of sea and rail, instead of road or air where appropriate, to cut emissions per unit of cargo.
- Smart warehousing: Using energy‑efficient lighting systems and warehouse layout planning to reduce energy consumption.
- Data‑driven management: Monitoring route performance, load factors and fuel consumption to enable continuous adjustment and improvement.
