XPO sustainability leader named forum vice chair

Dr Nicholas Head, XPO Logistics’ head of sustainability, has been appointed vice chair of the Sustainable Logistics Forum, a collaboration of 18 major fleet operators dedicated to decarbonising the logistics sector.

The Forum, part of Rutland Forums, facilitates collaboration between sustainability practitioners, sharing best practices and working with the UK Government to drive low-carbon initiatives.

Dr Head, who also serves on the Forum’s Board of Advisors, brings over 15 years of environmental expertise, with a doctorate in sustainable waste management and a history of advancing sustainability goals.

He said: “Decarbonising the economy and transportation in a manner that is not unduly burdensome on businesses or job creation and retention is a huge challenge that requires cross-sector collaboration as never before. 

“Having the opportunity to participate in the Sustainable Logistics Forum and help guide debate among industry peers can only benefit all involved, including providing substantial opportunities to identify initiatives that can drive that decarbonisation journey.” 

Haydn Young, Chair - Rutland Forums & Hudle Network, added: "I’m really thrilled for Dr Nicholas Head to take on this role within the network.

“Transitioning logistics to net-zero is going to be a significant task and with Dr Nick’s leadership, the Sustainable Logistics Forum can put ideas into action.”

XPO Logistics continues to lead in providing innovative, end-to-end logistics solutions across Europe, tailored to industrial and consumer sectors, with a focus on sustainable operations.
