II. Logistics The second major source of GHG emissions is logistics, which represents 19% of our total company emissions. At Schréder, we buy a wide range of components, including aluminium castings, glass protectors, drivers and controllers from many different suppliers to produce our luminaires. They are classified as either Group suppliers or local suppliers. The Group suppliers represent over 80% of our total materials spend and work with the Schréder Group purchasing team. A total of 74% of these suppliers are located in Europe. The factories are in direct contact with the local suppliers who are usually located nearby. In 2020 Our logistics department launched the Hermes project. Its first aim is to optimise the supply chain flow between our factories and our sales entities in Europe. It will also help to monitor and improve our logistics process. The second phase, scheduled to be initiated in 2021, will map inbound flows to have a better understanding of our entire logistics network. Our production sites worked on several projects to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging, notably by using reusable boxes and bulk packing. At the end of 2020, the Hungarian factory launched a pilot project to use air bubble film made out of recycled polyethylene (PE) in combination with reusable crates.
In 2020, we achieved a 32% reduction in logistics- related GHG emissions compared to 2018. This reduction is mostly driven by the increase in lumens produced over the same period.
Today, the majority of such emissions (62%) are caused by road transport.
