Driving value from sustainability

Climate change has climbed to the forefront of international treaties and government mandates. Retailers, aware of the high carbon emissions in last mile delivery, look to reduce carbon emissions to meet sustainability regulations and tap into the value-based consumer market where consumers are increasingly conscious about the environmental implications of their purchases.

Bringg commissioned Forrester Consulting to explore how retailers and D2C brands are managing sustainability and carbon emissions in the last mile, and identify opportunities to derive greater value from their sustainability initiatives.
