State of Sustainability Report 2024
In April 2024, BIFA reached out to its Members with a brand new survey, looking to gain a deeper insight into its Members sustainability practises. It is the latest systematic survey of sustainability for the UK freight forwarding sector to establish the true market conditions.
The information obtained from the survey will shape best practice guidance and influence how BIFA will represent members’ interests on this subject in future interaction with the government and other stakeholders who are developing legislation on the matter. The insights gathered will also be essential in identifying key areas for improvement and developing practical solutions for sustainability in freight forwarding.
The findings from the survey was then collated into a co-published report by both BIFA and Pledge, and that report can now be read below!
