There is a bourgeoning popularity of green living due to technological advancement and increasing public environmental awareness. As one of the four economic pillars of Hong Kong, the logistics industry also bears the compelling obligation to promote green logistics, in order to achieve sustainable development of the global supply chain. In this article contributed by FreightAmigo<\/a>, we will talk about the basics of green logistics and its benefits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Green logistics refers to freight solutions that can foster the goal of energy saving and zero-carbon emission. By selecting a more environmental-friendly freight mode and efficient freight routes, adverse ecological impact can be minimized.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Green Logistics Corridors<\/strong><\/p>

The Clydebank Declaration is led by the UK at COP26 in Glasgow last November. It is an act of global move to promote green shipping to fight climate change. Signatory states declared their ambition and intent to support the establishment of green shipping corridors, i.e. zero-emission shipping routes between 2 ports.\u00a0 Singapore is a recent signatory, joining the declaration in April this year.<\/p>

Carbon Neutrality By 2050<\/strong><\/p>

According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the shipping industry is responsible for around 940 million tons of CO2<\/sub> annually, which is at least 2.5% of the world\u2019s total CO2<\/sub> emissions. Therefore, a multitude number of countries called on the IMO to specify the 2050 carbon neutrality goal of global shipping and encourage countries to adopt green logistics as soon as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

More Financing Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>

To encourage local enterprises to promote green and sustainable development, banks in Hong Kong are introducing green financial products and services, thereby propelling low-carbon and sustainable economic development in Hong Kong. When enterprises are investing on green projects such as green logistics solutions, they become eligible to apply for green loans under \u201cSustainable or Green Transport\u201d category. Example offers include green assessment\/certification or a cash rebate.<\/p>

Attract Foreign Investment<\/strong><\/p>

According to a market survey, 85% of investors will consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) elements when investing. In Europe and the US which implemented ESG policies earlier than other regions, enterprises, especially multinational companies, are more willing to allocate extra resources to promote sustainable development policies. As a result, if an enterprise is willing to implement ESG, it will help attract foreign investment as well as strengthen its competitiveness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
