Linfox has signed a joint business development plan (JBDP) with multinational consumer company Unilever, further strengthening the long-term strategic relationship between the two companies.
Linfox CEO Michael Byrne said: “We are working with Unilever to design the best possible solutions and deliver unrivalled services to help the world’s most successful consumer brands achieve their growth, profit and environmental ambitions.”
The JBDP covers a series of collaborative initiatives with Linfox focused on increased network capacity, enhanced supply chain flexibility and responsiveness, cost improvement and the deployment of safe and sustainable practices to achieve this goal.
For example, Linfox will work on improving carbon efficiency and reducing waste across logistics operations. Linfox has already reduced its rate of carbon emissions by 45% across all its operations since 2007 and is well positioned to achieve its 50% by 2015 reduction target.
