ESG and Trucking Fleet Management: A Breakdown

随着环境，社会和治理（ESG）的普及，许多公司正在寻找将其纳入其业务实践的方法。卡车机队管理公司尤其可以从使用ESG中受益于最大限度地利用车队的努力和运营。ESG可以帮助这些公司减少碳排放，改善工人的健康和安全，并加强自己的行为守则，所有这些节省时间和金钱。但是，许多公司不知道从哪里开始或知道ESG可以为其舰队做的所有事情。 This blog will break down answers to some of the questions clients have regarding ESG and their trucking fleet management.

车队操作如何适合ESG？

E：环境

There are effective ways to reduce carbon emissions through trucking efficiency. Some examples include moving to alternative fuels that are more efficient, using electric vehicles on short hauls / in-town, installing aerodynamic vehicle accessories, and implementing a no idle policy when parked.

通过投资技术来跟踪具有优化物流能力的负载量，减少“空里的里程”和路线也是一个好主意。通过包括“共享卡车负载”作为一种结合两个小于拖车（LTL）的方式来增加全部卡车（FTL）和创造性，这是减少浪费时间，金钱和排放的另一种有效方法。

When driving, evaluating speed and identifying ideal speeds for your fleet can reduce emissions per mile. Training matters, too. Providing classroom and on-road training to your fleet drivers helps them maximize their fuel efficiency. Truck drivers themselves can do a lot to increase the sustainability of a fleet, as the美国运输研究所在他们的指南中证明了。

最后，减少浪费，开发“托盘池”是通过在客户和客户中共享托盘的好方法。

S：社交

The main thing to remember here is that trucker well-being should be top of mind, including their working hours and worker safety. For example, during working hours, it’s important you allow them to stop work when they are fatigued and need to rest.

Also, working with clients to provide breakrooms that truckers can access is another good way to keep trucker well-being at the forefront. This could include relaxation spaces with tables, chairs, and couches, too. It should also include access to healthy food options, restrooms, and showers. This could be with private clients or at truck stops. Providing these hard-to-find amenities for truckers can make all the difference in their health, happiness, and safety on the road.

接下来，员工福利应该模仿任何办公室工作人员通常会得到的。这意味着医疗保健，员工助理计划（EAP），人寿保险等。您还应该确保保险提供商在全国范围内提供覆盖长途司机在其本地区域时的覆盖。由于工作对他们的压力很大和个人影响，这些好处对于卡车司机而言更为重要。

驾驶卡车并坐在一个地方长时间坐着会对一个人的身体健康产生负面影响，因此福利套餐应包括进入全国体育馆，身体健康班，甚至脊医师 - 因为背痛是常见的疾病工作。

不过，这不仅仅是卡车司机的身体健康。心理健康也很重要，提供远程心理支持也应成为福利计划的一部分。同样，与他人建立联系可以单调分解工作并改善工人的福祉。为员工建立与人际关系或远程联系的方式至关重要。

Stress from traffic and difficulties moving trucks in and out of tight spaces can create distraction and fatigue. Providing resources to dispatchers so they understand the importance of route support and where large trucks will or will not fit is essential. Plus, providing resources to drivers to help them manage stress and fatigue in a healthy manner should be top of mind. 

Another thing that’s important for the ‘Social’ piece of ESG is recognizing and mitigating human trafficking while on the road. Committing to Human Rights by participating in the UN Guiding Principles and developing a human rights and anti-trafficking policy for your drivers can go a long way to help. You should be ensuring drivers have training on human trafficking, including how to spot it, what to do, and what actions to take if they see it.

最后，重要的是要专注于雇用和保留多样化的人才。目前，大多数司机都是白人，您应该想到如何包容所有潜在的候选人。

G：治理 

This portion includes how you manage operations, including your compliance around E and S, leadership buy-in, and accountability. You can do this by ensuring your company has a business code of conduct that includes a commitment to ethical conduct and breaking down what this means for your specific organization.

对您的工作以及未来计划的计划透明。您还应该监视组织内部环境和社会治理的成熟度。最终，应将环境和社会考虑纳入领导者做出的所有业务决策中。

您如何记录进度？

许多组织已经拥有某种类型的管理系统，无论是质量，环境或安全管理系统。领导力可以利用所有类型的管理系统的集成来开始构建其ESG计划和成熟的现有系统。

The investments that have already been made to create a governance structure, implement risk management processes and ensure employee engagement in company goals and culture will fit into an ESG framework. To save time and money, and capitalize on the level of maturity that already exists within these various systems, organizations can integrate their ESG framework with other management system frameworks. 

总之

随着ESG越来越受欢迎，越来越多的公司正在寻找从中受益的方法。您甚至可能没有意识到您的业务已经与ESG相关的所有方式以及如何采用ESG Outlook可以改善您的业务。从更好的工人健康到降低排放，ESG可以对卡车运输机队管理产生特别积极的影响。
