WEBINAR 1: Decarbonizing the Supply Chain
26 October 2022, 2pm SGT
The transport and logistics sector accounted for 37% of global CO2 emissions in 2021 (IEA), making companies in the freight industry key in influencing and accelerating decarbonization. In the logistics and freight business the challenges of supply chain emissions are unique, and companies are increasingly finding themselves up against as reporting Scope 3 emissions becomes the norm.
In our first webinar, we focus on understanding the complex challenges faced by companies in reducing emissions, and explore how innovative green tech solutions can help tackle them.
Participation in this event is free and open to all!
After the webinar, we will provide reports in English, Simplified Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, and Vietnamese highlighting key points of discussion during the session.
