According to an Office for National Statistics (ONS) report, the UK transportation and warehouse sector’s greenhouse gas emissions fell by 9% in 2021 year-on-year but consumers’ emissions rose by 7% between 2020 and 2021.
It would appear that consumers insist on companies making efforts to improve their emissions – but do little to improve their own
The report showed that the sector saw the largest decrease of all industry sectors since 2019. Freight transport by road has helped play a role in the industry’s reduction, falling from a peak of 15 Mt Co2e in 1997 to 13 Mt Co2e today.
