WWL cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 32%

Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), a global shipping and logistics company, managed to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 32% last year.

The company also cut its sulphur dioxide emissions (SO2) emissions by 135,000 tonnes in a nine year period from 2000 to 2009, an amount nearly equal to all the SO2 emissions from road vehicles in the United States for an entire year.

“Even in times of global economic crisis, we must continue to build value for our customers,” declared Arild B. Iversen, CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics. “An efficient supply chain, with reduced environmental risks in every possible step, is one of the surest ways to cut costs while benefitting the environment.”

Melanie Moore, Global Head of Environment and Quality, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics commented, “We are working hard to minimise our environmental footprint by working closely with our customers to reduce their carbon risk in the supply chain while creating real economic and brand value.

“There are many environmental challenges that we need to confront, but we will continue to be bold enough to address them by ensuring we remain an environmental forerunner,” Ms. Moore concluded.
