Green Logistics: turning Sustainability into a competitive edge

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a business driver. We explore how eco-friendly route planning and certified CO₂ tracking can win you more contracts and improve brand reputation.

Sustainability is no longer optional in logistics—it’s a market demand. With the EU Green Deal setting ambitious carbon reduction targets (55 % emissions cut by 2030), shippers and carriers are under pressure to adopt greener practices.

Green logistics strategies now go beyond switching to electric vehicles. They include:

  • Load consolidation & optimization to minimize trips.

  • Modal shifts from road to rail or sea when possible.

  • AI-based route planning to reduce fuel consumption.

  • Sustainable procurement for fuel, tyres, and spare parts.

McKinsey research shows that companies applying green logistics save up to 10 % in operating costs while improving customer retention. Furthermore, over 70 % of shippers are willing to pay a premium for low-emission transport.

Routilia integrates sustainability into its matching algorithm, favoring route combinations and partnerships that result in fewer CO₂ emissions—helping users meet regulatory requirements while strengthening their green credentials.

What This Means for You:

  • Lower carbon footprint and better compliance with EU regulations.

  • Enhanced brand image and competitive positioning.

  • Cost reductions from optimized fleet utilization.
