Scan Global Logistics (SGL) is proud to announce the launch of the first electric cross-border truck in Asia as part of its zero-emissions partnership with HTH Corporation. Deriving from a vision and commitment to creating a more sustainable logistics industry, the new electric truck is the first step to reducing road transport CO2 emissions on one of the region’s busiest trade routes.

Time is rapidly running out for companies that have committed to halving their emissions by 2030. With each passing year, the target becomes more difficult to reach. The Transportation Action Guide launched at COP28 by SGL, alongside IKEA, Scania Group, and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative provides practical steps for companies to begin cutting emissions immediately.

The Sustainability Report 2023 is out, highlighting our initiatives within the Environment, Social and Governance scope.

Many companies aim to reduce their CO2 emissions to achieve their climate targets. At the beginning of the year, our long-standing customer, Danish Pamatek, purchased ocean biofuel for all their expected ocean freight from China in 2024 upfront. Their decision is a commitment to reducing their ocean freight emissions by 100%, and in doing so, they will also benefit from avoiding the EU ETS surcharge on ocean freight. Their commitment confirms that CO2-neutral transport is becoming increasingly crucial for competition.

We are pleased to announce that we have again achieved an A- rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), reaffirming our position as a leader in sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. This recognition underscores our steady dedication to sustainability and climate action.

We have set ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of our commitment to diminish climate change and promote environmental sustainability. A new solar park in Northern Denmark marks a significant step towards achieving these goals.

With the erection and installation of 32 turbines in the North Luzon region of the Philippines, in close collaboration with a valued industrial project customer, we have constructed the largest wind farm project in the country to date. Despite encountering challenges due to the challenging circumstances in the mountainous area, the 160 MW project is now completed, and another is ongoing.

Decarbonising the supply chain is a joint effort. As a result of our long-standing partnership with MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES) in Denmark, we have initiated a project to test and develop sustainable logistics solutions. The full project scope involves 100% ocean biofuel and trucks running on renewable diesel, HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), ensuring approx. 85% reduction on the last-mile delivery. The business case will inform future co-led carbon-reducing initiatives.

The concern for global warming and climate change has grown in recent years. The transport and logistics sector accounts for a significant share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing to climate change.
