The Green Transport Network
– Drive the business in the right direction

As part of the Green Transport network, you will receive help to strengthen your business and make it more green and sustainable.

The network is for those of you who work in the transport and logistics industry and who want to have more customers, better access to financing and attract skilled employees.

A draft of your first ESG report

Today, more and more companies are demanding that their suppliers think green and operate responsibly. If you can show that you work sustainably – and if you have the paperwork to prove it – then you have a clear advantage. It can open doors to new customers and strengthen your business.

It is also called an ESG report, and it means you can show that you care for the environment, treat people properly, and run a healthy and responsible business.

When you work with ESG, it can strengthen your business.

In the network you get access to the online tool ESG-Kickstart to start drafting your first ESG report.

You will receive personal help, sparring and inspiration, and at the same time you will be ready to present your green and sustainable strategy in black and white in a report - which you can use in both internal and external communication.

Lean Academy is a teacher in the Green Transport Network. With the Lean Academy on assignment, you will receive teaching that is based on graphic facilitation, high professionalism and strong relationships.

We address what makes sense to you:

  • How you can save fuel and time with smart route planning with artificial intelligence
  • How waste and recycling can become part of your business
  • How to gain better control over your business and your employees
  • How to show that you drive green and responsibly – in a way that customers understand and demand
