In this episode of Smart Freight Conversations: The Leadership Series, we sit down with Marisa Sanchez Urrea, Global Head of Decarbonization at Brambles, to explore how one of the world’s largest logistics platforms is reducing emissions and reshaping how sustainability works in subcontracted transport networks.
· Brambles operates a global share-and-reuse pallet & container system
· 60% of emissions come from subcontracted transport
· Achieved 15% reduction in freight emissions since 2020
· Real-world collaborations like rail lane sharing and truck load optimization
· Granular, actionable strategy driven by targeted KPIs per region
· Sustainability equals business value, not just compliance
Marisa shares how data sharing, trust, and transparency are key to unlocking decarbonization, especially when you don’t own the trucks.
