Green credentials help hauliers win contracts
Some 73% of companies include environmental compliance in logistics tender documents and 17% would continue to pay more for good green credentials despite a possible economic slowdown. According to the Logistics and Transport Industry Environmental Survey, carried out by Transport Intelligence, nearly three quarters (73%) of respondents that awarded logistics contracts included sections on environmental compliance in their tender documents.
In the report - made up of information gathered globally from 450 respondents in the logistics sector, as well as manufacturers and retailers - 70% of companies awarding contracts said environmental compliance was either "reasonably important" or "very important". Survey respondents were also asked about whether their companies' environmental enthusiasm would change in the coming years, given the chances of an economic slowdown.
