Sustainable freight distribution
We're working hard to ensure that the freight sector can distribute freight sustainably. This means looking at economic, social and environmental issues - which is why the London Freight Plan concentrates on finding ways to:
- Comply with or exceed environmental standards, regulations or targets aimed at reducing emissions of climate change gases, improving air quality and minimising impacts from accidents, spillages or wastes
- Ensure freight is run efficiently, reduces unnecessary journeys, minimises journey distances and maximises loads with effective planning
- Comply with labour, transport and human rights standards and regulations ensuring that employees and communities affected by freight can function in a healthy and safe environment
- Minimise the negative impacts of freight activities on local communities
