HKTDC Research Webinar “The Road to Net Zero: Choosing the Green Route”

Throughout the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, a renewed focus on ESG – particularly with regard to sustainability – became very much apparent. As a consequence, issues such as carbon emissions reduction and other climate change mitigation measures have come to have an increasingly significant impact on business decisions, including the choice of logistics modes and partners. With this in mind, this webinar will focus on how traders can evaluate and choose their trade routes and modes in a more globally‑sustainable manner, while not necessarily compromising on the issue of profit maximisation.
