The sustainability challenge

Sustainability and the environmentally responsible development of the supply chain is not a cost; it makes good

business sense

www.wincanton.co.uk

How can we…

• Do the right thing for the environment – and the P&L

• Balance customer requirements and our own goals

• Translate legislation into business practice

• Be proactive …. but not premature

• Not sacrifice the strategy for the action

The case for the environment

Global emissions

• Transport emits 14 - 20% of global CO2

• Road transport currently accounts for

74% of global transport CO2 emissions

• It is the fastest growing source of GHG

www.wincanton.co.uk

• It is the fastest growing source of GHG

emissions

• 95% of energy for transport comes from

petroleum

• Transport has become the main driver

for increasing primary oil demand

Identifying opportunities

• Customers are championing lower carbon strategies

• The supply chain is just part of the challenge

• They will need data, guidance and solutions

• Proactive partnerships are the way forward

Opportunities for reducing emissions

Assets andInfrastructure

(trucks andsheds)

Modes

(rail and waterways)

Engineeringandtechnology

More than you think

Reengineering networks

Savings and efficiencies should start with your own network; look for ways to collaborate, share assets and identify

synergies

www.wincanton.co.uk

• Optimising assets – vehicle fleets; warehouses

• Shared user models – flexibility; cost-efficiency

• Collaborative working

• Strategic partnerships in service provision

• Consolidation centres

• Night time deliveries

More than you think

Intermodal alternatives

Did you know that Wincanton moves 7 million tonnes of product by rail in Mainland Europe alone?

www.wincanton.co.uk

• Use of natural infrastructure – waterways

• Network linking sea ports with the hinterland

• Environmentally friendly alternative for slower moving

or bulk goods

• Terminals to transfer cargo onto rail for onward

transportation

• Cross-border routes – Kazakhstan and the oil fields

Britvic multimodal case study

Objective: To implement a more efficient, sustainable transport solution between Central England and Scotland that

was fully integrated with the national transport network

www.wincanton.co.uk

• Rail partnership with Malcolm Logistics between Daventry

railhead and Mossend / Grangemouth

• 50 loads per day or 1 million bottles of product (Robinsons,

Pepsi, Tango, J2O, Drench Water, Fruit Shoot)

• Consolidation of product at rail depot from 6 production sites

• Partnership ensures reverse outbound volumes from

Scotland

• Six figure saving; reduction of CO2 emissions by 3,285

tonnes per year

• Platform for growth with other customers

More than you think

Engineering and technology

Advances in vehicle design and technology are creating measurable benefits in terms of fuel efficiency

www.wincanton.co.uk

• Vehicle design – aerodynamics, wind deflection, low

rolling resistance tyres, automatic idling

• Vehicle format - longer heavier vehicles; multi-

purpose vehicles

• Fuels – additives; biofuels; new fuels

• Technology – modelling, geofencing in transport

management, telematics

• Collaboration - opportunities to partner with

suppliers on developments and trials

More than you think

Developing a plan

• Governance and management

• Performance measurement

• Energy use and climate change

• Waste and recycling

• Progressive product leadership

Key result areas

www.wincanton.co.uk

More than you think

Creating the right culture

If businesses are to truly embrace sustainability,

they need to galvanise the support and enthusiasm

of their employees

www.wincanton.co.uk

• Driver training and incentives

• Fuel efficient driving techniques

• Fuel champions on site

• M&S warehouse case study – customer focus

• Direct involvement in sustainable services

• Embedding measurement and metrics

More than you think

Key learnings

• Have a plan and work to it

– Take the lead rather than reacting to demands

• Be pragmatic

– Focus on investments that will deliver and are

controllable

www.wincanton.co.uk

controllable

– Test and explore ‘next practice’

• Understand that it doesn’t need to cost more

– Principles of collaboration

– Eliminating waste from the supply chain

• Avoid the hype

– Don’t be tempted to ‘greenwash’

– Promote what you’ve done, rather than what you

will be doing
