Ahead in the scheme's carbon footprint reduction between 2005 and 2013, LCRS members "are likely to be more engaged in improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon within their fleet operations,” says Rachael Dillon, the UK's Freight Transport Association's (FTA) Climate Change Policy Manager.
The LCRS, which is managed by the FTA, aggregates fuel usage and business activity data from members to establish a carbon footprint for the scheme. DHL Supply Chain, supermarket Sainsbury’s and logistics company Turners are amongst those companies highlighted as demonstrating actions that can be taken to reduce fuel usage and improve carbon efficiency.
The FTA Logistics Carbon Review 2015 shows that members are helped to comply with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) – which requires energy audits to be carried out for transport and buildings ahead of its first deadline of 5th December 2015.
