Green Logistics and Carbon Reduction in Distribution

Customers and regulators increasingly expect African distributors to measure and reduce the carbon footprint of moving goods, while fuel remains a major operating cost. This course shows delegates how to cut emissions and cost together across transport, warehousing and packaging. The approach is practical and grounded in the realities of regional road networks and energy supply.
