The social responsabilité of companies (RSE) is taken more and more with sérieux by the companies of all kinds – and that includes/understands the forwarding agents who are chargés of l& #39; organization of the international circulation of the goods by road, sea or air. During dernières années, it ya have increasing inquiétudes on l& #39; environmental impact of the transport of freight. & lt; br/& WP; The Commission européenne définit the RSE like  “l& #39; inclusion prêts by the companies of social préoccupations and environmental à their activités commercial and their relations with the recipients. & quot; Whereas the companies are conscious of their RSE are likely to turn to their transport company to try to minimize l& #39; environmental impact of their transport of freight and international transport of freight. & lt; br/& WP; The British International Freight Association (CROSSED OUT) put in évidence that certain forwarding agents seek à now  to make so that l& #39; impact on l& #39; environment of transport of freight can être maintained à a minimum. It s& #39; in particular d&amp acts; #39; to help à éduquer customers on the means of making the goods transport more respectful of l& #39; environment. Many transport companies maritime in open sea d& #39; exploitation of l& #39; The Extrême-East and l& #39; Asia à l& #39; Europe have accepté récemment réduire the speed of their services of containers of 10% and unquestionable the U.K. – Irish ferries will be également outward journey more slowly, making société of transport of the customers d& #39; to await a little more time for theirs expédition of freight, but of réduire carbon émissions. & lt; br/& WP; Another field oà ¹ the forwarding agents seek à réduire their impact on l& #39; environment is far from taking for the recycling of the paperboard and other matériaux d& #39; packing utilisés for protéger goods during the transport of freight. When new entrepôts and the dépôts are in the course of construction by companies of navigation, it ya maintaining d&amp more; #39; intérêt in développement of these précédemment utilisé on sites of brown green plutôt that of ground. & lt; br/& WP; And à a level d& #39; infrastructures, it ya of the governments européens intérêt in développement of the rôle of the inland waterway and railroads in goods transport, of manière à réduire l& #39; impact on l& #39; environment in these two means of transport are considérées as having much less carbon than the road in particular when déplacement of the expéditions of freight which are heavy and bulky. & lt; br/& WP; By répondant à l& #39; intérêt growing for the protection of l& #39; environment, l& #39; industry of the transport of international freight is également able to make of économies which can être répercutés on the customers d& #39; expédition of freight, for example résultant fuel coà économies” ts of l& #39; investment in the véhicules économes while carburizing or of l& #39; aéronef. In ère more and more the coÔ ts of fuel of these économies can form a très strong proportion of the total of the coÔ ts of transport of freight. & lt; br/& WP; TIC has également made a différence for the forwarding agents impact on l& #39; environment, with a great number of documentation and of goods transport in the course of settings à effectuées day by way électronique plutôt that by l& #39; use of paper. Then which measurement the companies of navigation, they will seek à to become more durable à l& #39; future? Réduire l& #39; environmental impact of goods transport is large a défi, but that which l& #39; industry of the transport of freight is in rise à to satisfy. In l& #39; future, it is probable that l& #39; industry of the transport of international freight will be segment, as many others marchés have déjà fact, à & #39; vert& #39; options for the services of freight, the restoration for the needs for these companies which réclament them. & lt; br/& WP; & lt; Br/& WP;
