Description

Description Lean and Green is an initiative to support sustainable transportation by helping companies to reduce GHG emissions while increasing profitability. Companies that demonstrate that they are actively working towards improving their sustainability are rewarded with the program's 'Lean and Green' Award. The performance of the award recipients is monitored and these companies are obliged to report on their emission savings twice a year.

Connekt/Lean and Green are therefore aiming to have Lean and Green made into the standard in logistics chains and mobility in countries where frontrunners are active. Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany started their own Lean and Green programmes, in cooperation with Connekt. Connekt/Lean and Green is preparing the launch of other European Lean and Green chapters. Lean and Green is for every company or governmental body with the intention to move to a higher level of sustainability, by optimizing their mobility processes.

Objectives Lean and Green is a stimulation programme for businesses and authorities, implemented by Connekt: a Dutch non-profit network for sustainable mobility. It aims to encourage businesses and government bodies to move to a higher level of sustainability, by taking measures that not only yield cost savings, but at the same time reduce the burden on the environment. If an organisation can demonstrate through a plan of action that it will be able to reduce its CO2 emissions by 20% in five years’ time, it becomes eligible for the Lean and Green Award. If the objective in the plan of action is actually achieved, the organisation is awarded its first Lean and Green Star.
