Sagawa Express Green Solution (Decarbonization of Logistics)

Sagawa Express helps create a sustainable supply chain

In 2020, Japan declared its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. As the transition to a decarbonized society progresses rapidly, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to take steps to reduce emissions. As Sagawa Express uses public roads and many vehicles in its business, we recognize the importance of reducing CO₂ emissions in transportation and have undertaken a variety of initiatives to date. By making the most of this know-how, we have been able to reduce logistics-related CO₂ emissions and other environmental impacts throughout the entire supply chains of many of our customers. These efforts have received considerable external recognition, including awards from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Minister of the Environment.
If you have any concerns about decarbonizing your entire supply chain, please contact us.

Reducing CO₂ emissions by reviewing the supply chain

1. Optimization of logistics bases

At Sagawa Express, we dig deep into our customers' concerns and optimize logistics bases to help reduce CO₂ emissions.
For example, efficiency can be improved by consolidating the collection of items with one chartered large vehicle instead of collecting them individually from each local business.

2. Utilization of modal shifts

Sagawa Express proposes reducing CO₂ emissions from trucks by utilizing modal shifts.

Helping large-scale complexes decarbonize transportation networks from the design stage

Decarbonization in terms of on-site logistics management within facilities

At Sagawa Express, we begin conducting interviews from the construction stage of a facility, allowing us to centrally manage information on people, goods, and vehicles. We also control logistics vehicles by making proposals regarding the entire traffic flow in the facility. By building a logistics system from scratch to suit the characteristics of each facility, we are able to reduce the number of trucks used, leading to reduced CO₂ emissions and the prevention of air pollution.

To date, Sagawa Express has been responsible for on-site logistics operations at large urban facilities, including Tokyo Midtown (2007), Tokyo Skytree Town (2012), GINZA SIX (2017), and Akasaka Intercity AIR (2017). Utilizing this know-how, we can propose on-site logistics for your facility from the design stage onwards.
