Green and Sustainable Logistics

About the Course

Environmental performance has become a defining measure of competitiveness, resilience, and regulatory readiness across global supply chains. Organisations are under increasing pressure from regulators, investors, and customers to demonstrate disciplined control of emissions, responsible resource utilisation, and credible pathways toward decarbonisation while maintaining service reliability and cost efficiency. For logistics leaders, sustainability is no longer a peripheral initiative or a branding exercise; it is a core operational and governance responsibility that directly influences investment justification, partner selection, risk exposure, and stakeholder confidence. The ability to translate environmental ambition into measurable operational practice is now a hallmark of mature supply chain management.

This 5-day Green and Sustainable Logistics training course strengthens professionals' ability to embed environmental responsibility into logistics and supply chain activities in a structured, transparent, and defensible manner. Delegates refine the judgement required to evaluate trade-offs between cost, service performance, and environmental impact while applying recognised methodologies for emissions visibility, supplier oversight, energy management, and circular value flows. Emphasis is placed on decision credibility, performance assurance, and alignment with international expectations such as the GLEC Framework, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and ISO standards. By advancing analytical discipline and operational accountability, it supports organisations in achieving sustainability progress while safeguarding efficiency, compliance, integrity, and long-term strategic resilience.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Explain the strategic drivers that position environmental responsibility as a logistics priority
• Interpret emissions profiles across transport and warehousing networks
• Apply recognised methodologies for carbon measurement and reporting
• Analyse operational choices that influence energy consumption and environmental exposure
• Evaluate supplier performance against sustainability expectations
• Establish meaningful performance indicators to monitor environmental outcomes
• Recommend actions that balance cost, service reliability, and ecological responsibility
