Environment, Social & Governance (ESG)

 
As we reflect on the first meetings of CBAFFs ESG Committee, we want to extend our gratitude to its appointed members for their contributions and dedication.
 
This talented group is working to create a strong foundation for our ESG initiatives, and during their monthly meetings, they will be driving meaningful progress and positioning CBAFF as a leader in sustainability and industry responsibility.
 
CBAFF is proud to partner with Go Well Consulting to support our members on their sustainability journey. Through this collaboration, CBAFF members gain access to an exclusive discount, making it affordable to take proactive steps toward adapting to the evolving business landscape and preparing for a sustainable future.
 
During 2024 CBAFF Conference, the CEO introduced the Kakariki Award, a stunning award that will be awarded to recognise and encourage sustainability practices in member organisations.
 
Together, we can build a resilient logistics sector that drives meaningful change for both our industry and the environment.

Join the CBAFF Sustainability Cohort

 
Start your sustainability journey in 2025 with the CBAFF cohort.

Recognising the critical role of our industry, CBAFF has partnered with Go Well Consulting to offer members an opportunity to develop tailored, credible sustainability strategies while building capability and reducing costs, and is seeking 3-5 members for the initial cohort with Go Well Consulting at a discounted rate.

As climate impacts and evolving legislation reshape global markets, the logistics and freight forwarding sectors are at the forefront of addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges.

Why Join the CBAFF Sustainability Cohort?
By participating in the cohort, your business will:
  • Enhance sustainability performance to stay ahead in a changing business landscape.
  • Build confidence and capability in mapping and reducing GHG emissions.
  • Benefit from collaborative learning alongside CBAFF peers, unlocking shared insights and opportunities.
  • Reduce costs through a collective approach to sustainability.
Why Act Now?
The direct impacts of climate change on logistics and supply chains are undeniable. From port disruptions caused by extreme weather to rising costs linked to delays, the need for proactive strategies is urgent. Taking action now positions your business for a sustainable and resilient future.

Programme Overview
Between March - September, the cohort will receive expert guidance and coaching to:
  • Conduct stakeholder engagement to understand perceptions and expectations.
  • Complete a materiality assessment to define key sustainability focus areas.
  • Develop a bespoke sustainability/ESG strategy aligned with global frameworks and your business goals.
  • Create a GHG emissions footprint and reduction plan, aligned with climate science.
  • Implement the strategy with ongoing coaching and support to measure progress.
  • Communicate performance to stakeholders effectively.
Collaborative Approach for Maximum Impact
Cohorts of three to five businesses will collectively navigate the process, fostering shared learning, increased collaboration, and cost savings compared to tackling these challenges independently.

  • A comprehensive and actionable ESG strategy.
  • Clear pathways to reducing emissions and enhancing performance.
  • Confidence in communicating sustainability progress to stakeholders.
