Earth Day is a good moment to pause and look at what sustainability actually means in practice. In logistics, reducing emissions comes down to everyday operational choices – how routes are planned, how loads are optimised and which transport methods are used.
In 2025, we reduced 3,963.8 tonnes of CO₂ emissions by increasing the use of intermodal transport, combining road and rail. This approach allows rail to handle the most emission-intensive part of long-distance transport, while road transport ensures flexibility at the first and last mile. Rather than replacing one mode with another, it is about using each where it is most effective. To put this into perspective, this reduction is roughly equivalent to around 610 one-way truck journeys from Vilnius to Gibraltar.
These results are not driven by a single change, but by a series of consistent adjustments across operations. Shifting suitable freight from road to rail plays a central role, particularly on longer routes where rail can significantly reduce emissions per kilometre. At the same time, route and load optimisation contribute just as much. Reducing empty kilometres, improving load planning, and aligning schedules more precisely all have a direct impact on overall efficiency and, as a result, emissions.
Collaboration is another important factor. Intermodal transport requires coordination across different parts of the supply chain, which means that progress depends not only on internal decisions, but also on working with partners who are open to more efficient and lower-emission solutions. These kinds of changes are gradual, but they become meaningful when applied consistently and at scale.
Earth Day helps keep the topic visible, but the actual impact is built outside of it. For us, reducing CO₂ is not tied to a specific date or campaign, but to ongoing decisions about how transport is planned and executed. The result achieved in 2025 is one step in that process, and further progress will depend on continuing to expand intermodal transport, improving planning processes and working closely with partners to identify where emissions can be reduced without compromising reliability.
