As a result of the repercussions logistics has had on environmental pollution, **a series of practices were devised aiming to reduce the negative impact logistics produces**. In this way, **there are several actions that **[**sustainable logistics companies**](https://www.akzent.mx/es/empresa/)** have started to take **to reduce the effects on the environment caused by the transportation of goods around the globe. All of these actions mainly focus on either one of the following: - Reduction of traffic - Reduction of emissions - Reduction of waste ### Sustainable practices in logistic activities We must understand green logistics as a new discipline centered on redesign in order to deliver sustainable processes by undertaking the three actions mentioned above: #### 1. Reduction of traffic In order to accomplish sustainable transport, it is a must to start reducing traffic. **This problem can be sorted out by searching alternative routes and less congested schedules to circulate in order to reduce CO₂ emissions.** **Sustainability may unfold once **[**route mapping is analyzed**](https://blog.akzent.mx/aspectos-indispensables-para-un-plan-de-ruta)[,](https://blog.akzent.mx/aspectos-indispensables-para-un-plan-de-ruta) choosing the most convenient routes and managing loading and unloading more efficiently, considering demand for spaces to park vehicles can exceed the fixed supply available by [70%](https://www2.deloitte.com/es/es/pages/operations/articles/el-futuro-de-la-logistica-de-ultima-milla-despues-del-covid-19.html), and as a consequence, create heavier traffic and inefficiency in cargo distribution. #### 2. Reduction of emissions Another sustainable practice in logistics **using electric fleets and leveraging technology to optimize routes**. These sustainable processes require technological logistic planning platforms that run a route analysis to anticipate and prevent setbacks and make more efficient deliveries as a result. #### 3. Reduction of waste Every sustainable company must encourage recycling policies and best practices with reusable materials in their operations to reduce their environmental impact. Thus, **it is important to cease using single-use raw materials** such as plastics, and opt for sustainable alternatives. By committing with sustainable processes, **companies are not only complying with sustainable development measures** to create opportunities in the communities where they are engaged without producing more pollution, but this also allows them to decrease operative costs. This [**is made possible by applying technologies**](https://blog.akzent.mx/el-sistema-de-control-logistico-digital-que-necesitas)** in route planning and process management and digitalization systems**, which can bring out sustainable transport and savings, such as fuel, wages and even operative times. However, regardless of the sector a company develops in, **any organization can contribute to the environment** by hiring logistics agents or freight forwarders **who are concerned to lead sustainable processes and care for the environment, as Akzent does.** In this new era of logistics requiring growing commitment to reduce environmental pollution, it’s not only about using a freight forwarder that provides the most services or benefits any more, but about having [a clear action policy](https://blog.akzent.mx/el-valor-de-contratar-un-freight-forwarder), creating a more sustainable world for everyone.
