TML’S VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS Tailormade Logistics wants to set the standard for sustainable transport and logistics. Our vision goes beyond the mere reduction of CO 2 emissions per kilometer driven. It is a holistic vision that encompasses all aspects of our operations. By creating an international network of hubs, focusing on the shift towards multimodal transportation, generating our own green energy, using alternative fuels and drivetrains, relying on automation and reducing waste streams while maximizing recycling and re-use, we aim to transform the entire logistics chain. An intermodal-connected network of hubs We build a network of hubs, close to our customers and close to intermodal connections. This reduces the number of first-mile kilometers needed to bring the goods from the customer to us. From there, the goods enter our network and can be transferred via intermodal to a TML hub near the destination. Moving goods via barge or rail reduces CO 2 emissions by 90%. This makes intermodal a very powerful tool in the sustainability toolbox. Managing energy production and consumption A logistic site requires a lot of energy to operate: heating/cooling, forklifts…. A logistic building also has a large footprint, literally. It takes up many square meters. By installing solar panels on the roofs of our warehouses, we can produce green energy and put this green energy to use. First of all, to operate the site but the surplus energy can be used to charge electric vehicles. Producing our own green electricity reduces our reliance on ‘brown energy’ and makes it possible to better manage and optimize our energy consumption. Circular and Sustainable Supply Chain We recognize the importance of efficient and sustainable supply chains. We commit to reducing and reusing waste and promoting circularity by implementing innovative solutions for responsible resource management. Through collaboration with our customers and their suppliers across the supply chain, we implement sustainable practices and contribute to a circular economy. Digitalization and automation Few people associate the logistics sector with cutting edge IT developments. Managing the complexities of an international logistics operation does require robust, state-of-the-art IT systems. Warehouse Management, Transport Management, Business Intelligence, Fleet Management, monitoring and tracking, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and semi-automated planning are all part of the IT landscape. 10
Through semi-automated planning software, it’s possible to optimize trips as well as resource utilization. This cuts back on overall kms driven as well as suboptimal utilization of our rolling stock. Alternative fuels and drivetrains Investments in intermodal transport, a network of hubs and the use of modern planning software for optimization can reduce but never eliminate all road transport. To further reduce the emissions of those kms driven, we invest in a modern, well-maintained fleet, with latest-generation, fuel-efficient trucks. We also offer our customers the use of alternative, less-polluting fuels like Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, which reduces emissions by 90%. We collaborate closely with our clients to implement sustainable practices across their entire logistics chain. By fostering a culture of partnership, we ensure that sustainable initiatives and the environmental benefits they generate, extend beyond our own operations. Finally, our own employees are key in making our ambitions a reality. We are proud to continue to lead the way in sustainable transport and logistics, driving our industry forward on a path towards a more sustainable future. We hope that our vision for sustainable transport and logistics sets a high standard, inspiring others to follow suit and collectively work towards a greener, more sustainable world. We also keep an eye on the various alternative drivetrains under development. Fuel agnostic engines, electric engines, hydrogen powered vehicles. These technologies are evolving and might soon help us to reduce the environmental impact of traditional road transport. Michael Meyers COO Tailormade Logistics Partnership We recognize the importance of strong and enduring customer relationships. 11
