Bolloré Logistics strengthens commitments in fighting climate change

International freight forwarder Bolloré Logistics is strengthening its commitment in the fight against climate change with its announcement to reduce its Scope 3 CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 (relative to 2019).

In 2018, Bolloré began setting carbon reduction objectives on its direct emissions and has continued to direct efforts toward the cause.

The company’s current goal is considerably lower than the 2°C trajectory and will involve making a sustainable offering that will be the core of its operations.

“Bolloré Logistics has for several years supported its customers in their growth by providing eco-responsible solutions,” said Odile Maarek, CSR Director, Bolloré Logistics.

“Focused initially on key account customers, Bolloré Logistics’ sustainable supply-chain offering is being strengthened across all segments and, at the same time, rolled out widely and industrialized,” Maarek said.

Bolloré is now seeking to improve the transformation of existing systems by integrating climate and air quality aspects.

To that end, the company is focusing its efforts on optimisation by contributing ever greater value to operational and environmental transport data.

The company’s network is also actively working to protect natural capital through the rationalised use of plastic and cardboard consumables used in transport and logistics services, and is dedicated to implementing circular economy projects.

These approaches are integrated into the “Sustainable supply chain” field of B.Lab, the company’s innovation booster. They are also supported by special innovation projects co-developed with Bolloré’s partners and customers, amplifying the company’s efforts in contributing to supply chain decarbonisation.

“We are faced with major challenges for the planet, calling for a considerable transformation across the entire supply chain,” said Thierry Ehrenbogen, CEO of Bolloré Logistics.

“Our CSR programme, Powering Sustainable Logistics, is aimed at boosting our contribution to the resolution of these social and environmental issues. Our Scope 3 objective is extremely ambitious but fully necessary for contributing to the fight against climate change,” Ehrenbogen said.

The commitments are part of Bolloré Logistics’ CSR programme, Powering Sustainable Logistics, launched in 2018.
