Transport is the single largest cost component in most supply chains

Often exceeds warehousing, inventory carrying cost, and fulfilment labour

Cost drivers include fuel, fleet utilisation, network design, and last‑mile inefficiencies

Sustainability policies require reporting on and reduction in carbon emissions in line with governance frameworks, for example GLEC
