The Key Players in the Supply Chain & Their Role in Decarbonization

For high-resolution infographic, download below.
Reducing carbon emissions in logistics is a shared responsibility that involves multiple stakeholders. Cargo owners (shippers) drive sustainability by optimizing supply chains and selecting eco-friendly logistics partners. Freight forwarders and logistics service providers (LSPs) improve efficiency through optimized routes and low-carbon transport solutions. Carriers (transport providers) adopt fuel-efficient practices, alternative fuels, and green technologies to reduce emissions.
Technology providers play a crucial role by developing electric trucks, AI-driven logistics tools, and aerodynamic solutions. Governments, institutions, and investors support decarbonization through policies, incentives, and green infrastructure investments. Finally, consumers and clients contribute by choosing eco-friendly shipping options and supporting sustainable brands.
Collaboration across all these actors is essential to creating a low-carbon logistics ecosystem. Explore our infographic for a visual breakdown of these key players.
