SAIL wants to actively protect our climate. We are creating a sustainable company with the ultimate target to operate CO2 neutral. It is our aim to reduce the company’s carbon footprint considerably by taking a number of measures.
- SAIL offices use clean energy. We are recycling and use recycled products wherever possible. A number of steps have been taken to avoid and reduce plastic waste. Business travel by air is limited and when necessary CO2 is compensated. The number of business trips by train has increased. SAIL company cars are fully electric. Ecosia is used as our search engine company wide, to support tree planting projects.
- Reducing emissions throughout the supply chain is our target. We offer alternative modes of transportation and are selecting our vendors by their ability and strategy to reduce emissions. One big challenge in our industry is to reduce the emissions of container ships and we are supporting our carriers to reach their targets.
- Transparency is the key. We offer full transparency to our customers and use carbon calculation tools to determine the carbon footprint for each container we are shipping. We are able to do efficient and accessible CO2 reporting.
- Together with our customers, we are identifying projects for more sustainable and environmental friendly transportation. We are transferring shipments to alternative modes of transportation. We are reducing round trip by trucks and are improving load factors. Our ultimate goal is finding and using cleaner means of transportation for our customers. Modal shift is the No. 1 target and measure to support the common goal to reduce CO2 emmissions.
