The WayAhead Programme goes live!

Following the recommendations of the Retail Forum on 'Optimisation of distribution systems', the European Retail Round Table (ERRT) launches the WayAhead Programme, a programme that helps eliminate transport emissions through encouraging and facilitating exchange of environmental information between shippers and road freight carriers.

ERRT is a network of business leaders established to express the views of large retailers on a range of issues of common interest focused on EU public policy. Their businesses operate worldwide and represent a cross-section of the retail sector. Collectively, ERRT members have a turnover of more than €400 billion and employ 2.3 million people in over 40,000 stores. Members: Asda Wal*Mart, C&A, Carrefour Group, Delhaize Group, El Corte Inglés, H&M, IKEA, Inditex, Kingfisher, Marks & Spencer, Mercadona, METRO Group, Royal Ahold and Tesco. www.errt.org
