SUSTAINABILITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE TRANSPORT SECTORS

We work alongside transport and logistics organisations to help simplify sustainability across operations, not just in emissions, but also in resource use, ecological impact, and compliance with evolving sustainability targets. From fleet decarbonisation and biodiversity management at logistics hubs, to supporting circularity in infrastructure and supply chains, we offer science-led guidance that’s practical, commercially sensitive, and always tailored to your organisation’s goals. Our tailored approach enables meaningful progress in sustainability in logistics and contributes to a wider green transport strategy.

SERVICE DISCOVERY QUIZ

WHY TRANSPORT SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS

With increasing client expectations, public scrutiny and regulatory pressures, transport sustainability is fast becoming essential for maintaining operational resilience, securing investment, and winning tenders. But for most businesses, it’s not about radical change overnight; it involves taking realistic, measurable steps, starting with the low-hanging fruit.

That’s where we come in, helping you move forward without disrupting delivery, profitability or compliance.

Our support enables transport businesses to adopt sustainable transport solutions while remaining operationally efficient.

We help you make sense of:

Complex emissions across fleets, depots, and third-party logistics partners: Gain visibility over Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and understand where the biggest impacts and opportunities lie.
Environmental responsibilities tied to land use, biodiversity, and pollution: Navigate Biodiversity Net Gain, CSRD E4, and nature strategy with confidence.
Sustainability reporting, regulations, and expectations from clients and investors: Meet increasing demands for transparency, compliance, and ESG disclosures with clear, credible data and strategies.

SECTOR-SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES

High reliance on fossil fuels and emissions-intensive vehicles
Land-use and biodiversity impacts at depots, ports, and logistics hubs
Limited visibility over environmental performance in subcontracted operations
Air, noise and water pollution affecting local communities and ecosystems

Infrastructure and vehicle asset waste, including end-of-life treatment
Rising demand for emissions data in logistics procurement
Difficulty aligning low-carbon goals with tight delivery schedules
Regulatory pressure for cleaner fleets and greener infrastructure
Need to demonstrate progress toward wider ESG and transport sustainability targets

The project ran seamlessly from carrying out regular communication between key project stakeholders to the speed of the project execution and completion. We would highly recommend Tunley Environmental to companies looking to complete product LCAs.

They did exactly what was asked and where we had less than perfect understanding of the issues involved their expertise showed through. The response time to follow up enquiries was excellent and I would happily use Tunley again.

Everything was provided as agreed and to a great standard. Very pleased with the work that Tunley Environmental undertook for us.

Adam Samuel

Director | Capchar

Tunley Environmental has been great support through our carbon assessments. Tunley completed an embodied carbon report on one of our products, we used the embodied carbon report and submitted to MAKE UK sustainability regional awards and won for our region. Great to be working with Tunley and the team and look forward to reaching our goal of net zero which I know we can with the support and expertise of the team.

PORR REDUCE EMISSIONS BY 177 T CO₂E PER LINEAR KM OF TRACK

Take a look at our case study featuring PORR. In this case study we discusses their challenges, the process, what the assessment has allowed them to do and more.

PORR's effort in a Life Cycle Assessment represented a emissions reduction by 177 t CO2e per linear km of single track as part of the HS2 project.

They needed to achieve the PAS 2080 Accreditation and produce a carbon model for their product, identifying the carbon that was embedded in the product and seeking to reduce it by 50%.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is sustainability in logistics and why does it matter?

Sustainability in logistics means reducing environmental impact across the supply chain, covering fleet emissions, warehouses, packaging and routing. It matters because clients, regulators and investors increasingly expect transport businesses to demonstrate green credentials.

What does a green transport strategy look like for a logistics business?

A green transport strategy includes setting emissions targets (Scope 1, 2, 3), switching to low-emission vehicles, optimising routes and loads, integrating supply-chain biodiversity and resource-use measures, and embedding these into organisational operations rather than treating them as add-ons.

How can companies implement transport sustainability without disrupting operations? A company can implement transport sustainability by starting with the low-hanging fruit, mapping emissions, identifying key hotspots (e.g., fleet, depots, third-party logistics), then gradually introducing sustainable transport solutions like better vehicles, route optimisation, energy-efficient facilities and circular supply-chain practices. This incremental approach preserves delivery and profitability.

What are sustainable transport solutions in the context of logistics and transport?

Sustainable transport solutions include electric or alternative-fuel vehicles, route and load optimisation software, energy-efficient warehouses and depots, supply-chain sustainability (beyond transport alone), biodiversity-positive infrastructure and clear reporting/claims.

What business benefits stem from focusing on transport sustainability and green logistics? Benefits of sustainable transport include cost savings (fuel, energy, waste), better competitiveness in tenders, stronger investor and client trust, improved regulatory compliance and reputational gains. As sustainability transitions become mandatory, early adopters gain an advantage.

How does Tunley Environmental support transport & logistics firms in this area? Tunley Environmental offers tailored sustainability in logistics services: emissions and life-cycle assessments, supply-chain and biodiversity footprinting, decarbonisation planning, green marketing support and practical deployment of sustainable transport solutions aligned with your business goals.
