Smart Freight Centre and the Kühne Foundation to host two stakeholder workshops in East Africa

Smart Freight Centre and the Kühne Foundation are jointly planning a stakeholder workshop for the Green Freight Program in Nairobi on February 20 and in Dar es Salaam on February 22. In this half-day workshop, which would build upon the earlier in-person sessions in September ’23 (Nairobi) and November ’23 (Dar es Salaam), we will present the findings from our soon-to-be-finalized Landscape Report, resulting from our Scoping Study for a Green Freight Program in East Africa. The workshop agenda will include feedback sessions and validations of a draft plan for a Green Freight Program to be launched later this year. We will also discuss collaboration opportunities and what roles we can play together as key stakeholders.

If you or your colleagues would like to participate in this workshop and learn more about how you can decarbonize your logistics operations in the region, please reach out to sindhu.nandhakumar@smartfreightcentre.org

Assurance webinar: How to use the SFC Emissions Report template

You are invited to attend the 1-hour ‘How to use the SFC Emissions Report template’ learning session on March 11 from 13:00-14:00 CET. Many logistics sustainability professionals dedicate the first quarter of the year to reporting their GHG emissions. Some of you may be using the new ISO 14083 standard for the first time. We have developed an Emissions Report template to help you ensure nothing is left out.  

The webinar will provide an opportunity for organizations to understand how to use it, with inputs from a peer user (Maren Wolff, from DB Schenker), and a senior GHG verifier  (Lucy Candlin, from Planet & Prosperity). Attendees will also be able to ask questions to both, in a 20 min Q&A slot. 

This webinar is open to all SFC community members. You can sign up here
