As sustainability increasingly becomes a cornerstone of global supply chains, navigating the complex landscape of environmental targets and terminology can be challenging.
To bridge this knowledge gap, FIATA (International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations) and the Smart Freight Centre (SFC) have joined forces to launch the “Fundamentals of Sustainable Logistics” online course.
Designed to make the basics of green logistics clear, practical, and accessible, the introductory course requires no prior experience. It is tailored not only for dedicated sustainability professionals, but for anyone working directly or indirectly with freight, logistics, or global supply chains.
Key highlights of the course:
-
Core Fundamentals: Learn how to calculate logistics emissions, set robust science-based targets, and identify effective low-carbon solutions.
-
Global Context: Explore the bigger picture driving the industry forward, from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to other key international frameworks.
-
Flexible Learning: Fully self-paced, allowing participants to complete the curriculum around their individual schedules.
Empowering the logistics workforce of tomorrow
With the global freight sector facing mounting pressure to decarbonize, understanding emissions measurement and reduction strategies is no longer optional—it is essential. This course equips participants with the foundational tools needed to navigate upcoming industry shifts and contribute meaningfully to corporate sustainability goals.
“Sustainability is reshaping the future of freight and logistics. This course is designed to take the confusion out of the transition, providing actionable insights for professionals at every level,” said FIATA.
The course is open now for enrolment. For more information or registration details, interested participants can reach out directly to the FIATA Training Team at training@fiata.org.
