How can a company reduce its transport-related carbon footprint?

Reducing the transport carbon footprint is a major lever in a company's CSR strategy.

The main actions are: 1.

**Measure to Manage:** The first step is to accurately calculate its carbon footprint.

Modern fleet management software automates this calculation based on fuel or electricity consumption.

2.

**Optimize Operations:** Reduce kilometers driven through route optimization, decrease consumption via eco-driving coaching, and eliminate unauthorized use.

3.

**Transition the Fleet:** Gradually replace internal combustion engine vehicles with low or zero-emission vehicles, such as electric vehicles.

This is the most impactful long-term action.

4.

**Choose Alternative Fuels:** For heavy-duty vehicles where electric is not yet viable, using biofuels (HVO, B100) can significantly reduce GHG emissions.
