Green Transport
In China
We offer “milk-run” (multi-stop) delivery programs to collect goods from several suppliers and deliver to them to several customers using the same truck on the same route. This delivery model can achieve higher truck load efficiencies and minimise pollution by utilising fewer trucks.
In Hong Kong
We believe ecologically-conscious driving can reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. We provide driving guidance and training on eco-driving to drivers of our subcontractors and our own fleet to enhance their eco-driving skills and awareness. Through skills such as maintaining constant driving speed, avoiding excessive engine idling and choosing the most direct routes, we can improve our operations to contribute to cleaner – more breathable air.
In Japan
The amount of carbon emissions by newer model trucks and engines is significantly less than the older ones. The majority of the trucks we use to transport cargo in Japan are less than 5 years old. Newer vehicles help limit the release of carbon from our trucking operations. Some of the trucks are also powered by alternative fuels and some are hybrid trucks used for specific clients.
In the Netherlands
Since different transport modes emit different levels of carbon emissions. We actively promote modal shifting to our customers through which greener barge and rail services are utilised for inland transport instead of less eco-friendly truck operations.
Green Warehouse
In France
To reduce carbon emissions generated by forklifts during warehouse operations, OOCL Logistics uses 100% electric forklifts in our warehouse instead of those powered by LPG.
In Indonesia
To reduce electricity usage for lighting in the warehouse areas, we use transparent plastic roofing which allows natural light to come through during daytime.
In Japan
We compress and recycle 60-100kgs per month of plastic bags which are used during warehouse operations as well as recycling 10-20 tons cardboard boxes per month.
Green Office
OOCL Logistics offices around the globe
We have established an energy saving policy, throughout or global office network, encouraging employees to switch off computers after work, power down copiers and lighting after use, maintain eco-friendly energy consumption temperatures for air conditioning and install energy-saving office equipment such as energy-efficient light bulbs. At the same time, all employees are encouraged to actively recycle used paper, plastic containers, aluminium cans and to conserve energy, water and paper.
All OOCL employees undertake basic training on environmental awareness, learning this core company value within the first few days on the job. This is an important part of the mandatory employee induction training delivered through the company’s ePeopleSmart learning platform.
Green Information
Green Subcontractor
In Indonesia
We have requested that our transportation subcontractors to maintain their trucks in excellent condition, through measures such as regularly checking tire pressures, conducting smoke and emission tests and equipping trucks with fuel-efficient engines. We request that warehouse subcontractors use LED lights and electric forklifts in their warehouses and recycle and reuse warehouse materials.
In the Philippines
We conduct annual reviews of “green performance” for all of our subcontractors. These reviews include emission standards on trucks, types of fuels used, energy usage in warehouses and waste management plans.
In Thailand
We’ve even invited our subcontractors to join the green activities organised by our staff like tree plantings to enhance their environmental awareness and build community ecology awareness.
