FTA’s Logistics Emissions Reduction Scheme (LERS) has today (21 July 2020) announced that entries are now open for its Leadership in Emissions Reduction Award, sponsored by ExxonMobil. The award recognises and celebrates the logistics company most committed to reducing emissions and leading the way in environmental excellence.  

The winner will be presented with the accolade at FTA’s Logistics Awards 2020 on 10 December 2020 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London. 

Natalie Chapman, Head of Urban Policy at FTA, comments: “With an urgent need to improve air quality across the UK and to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, logistics businesses are striving to reduce emissions from their operations. This award is the perfect opportunity to recognise and celebrate the company which, through the use of alternative fuels and improved fuel efficiency, is making a significant contribution towards a greener future and paving the way for others to follow.”
