Curious about how to work toward net-zero goals in your global fleet operations? Motivations on sustainability across businesses and operations vary.

Join this Global Fleet Conference (GFC) seminar, "Strategies to Reduce Fleet C02 Emissions on a Journey to Achieve Net-Zero", to discuss two strategies for accomplishing sustainability goals: operating fleet vehicles more efficiently or operating with more efficient vehicles.

However, both strategies require data intelligence, innovative techniques, and strategies to meet company-wide and fleet objectives concerning net-zero goals. In this session, you will also learn:

  • How to build a sustainability business case requiring a phased approach with incremental gains for carbon emission reductions.

  • Approaches for rightsizing your strategy to meet your goals in multiple ways, including answering questions such as:

    • Who are the right stakeholders?

    • What tools do I need?

    • How do I influence, motivate, and engage drivers?

    • How do I use collective methods to meet objectives and adapt methods to my own fleet?
