Low Carbon Logistics

Our efforts in sustainability and providing low-carbon logistics have been awarded the 'A' rating, the highest possible ranking from the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), the leading organisation in sustainable economy and environmental reporting. The rating reaffirms our steady dedication to reducing our own and our customers' CO2 emissions through ongoing collaborations with suppliers and customers across the supply chain.

​​Singapore, November 2024 – Scan Global Logistics (SGL) recently hosted its Sustainability Forum 2024, titled “Race to Zero Emission,” for the first time in Asia. Gathering over 100 industry leaders, government representatives, and sustainability experts, the event centered around the theme ‘Driving Sustainable Solutions Together’ and served as a collaborative platform to share innovative approaches toward a carbon-neutral future.

Achieving the EcoVadis gold medal for our sustainability performance places us in the top 5 % globally among companies across industries.

We are proud to announce that on Monday, July 29, 2024, our long-term and net-zero targets for 2050 were approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as one of only a few companies within the logistics industry. The approval means that SBTi confirms our efforts to achieve our targets align with the 1.5°C trajectory from the Paris agreement to reach net zero by 2050 or sooner. To new and existing customers with SBTi targets, the approval ensures a partnership with a leading sustainable logistics provider in decarbonising their supply chain.

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.
