Sapporo Group Logistics' White Logistics Initiatives
Declaration of Voluntary Action for the "White Logistics Promotion Movement"
In support of the aims of the "White Logistics" promotion campaign, Sapporo Holdings, LTD. submitted a voluntary action declaration for sustainable and stable logistics operations in 2019 from Sapporo Breweries LTD., POKKA SAPPORO Food & Beverage LTD.
Declaration of Voluntary Action
The four companies of the Group have expressed their commitment to work toward improving the efficiency and workability of logistics, focusing on "standardization of logistics operations" and "establishment of a network of Group bases."
In cooperation and coordination with our affiliates, we will strive to improve the working environment for truck drivers and warehouse workers.
Standardization of logistics operations
Product codes used to identify cartons at distribution sites have been made more visible by aligning the display position. The Group companies will realize a more comfortable working environment for a diversified workforce, including foreigners and the elderly, whose numbers are expected to increase in the future.
Establishment of Group network of distribution bases
To shorten the transportation distance from factories to delivery destinations, Sapporo Breweries established new distribution bases in the Tokai area and Kita Kanto area, and POKKA SAPPRO Food & Beverage proceeded with a new production consignment in the western Japan area. The Group will continue to review its network of distribution bases to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and to further reduce the burden on truck drivers.
