Sustainable Distribution Forum

Chairman: Derek Bliss FCILT

Your Institute is introducing some changes, making us more open and relevant to you, whichever sector of logistics or transport you work in.

We are replacing the four Faculties with eight Professional Sectors. These Professional Sectors will provide specialist activity for a particular area of interest whilst continuing to offer opportunity and involvement across the profession.

What you need to do...

We are now asking all members to update their details and tell us which Professional Sectors and Forums they want to belong to as soon as possible. You can do this in a number of ways - online through ‘My Membership', complete the Member Selection form that you will shortly receive in Focus, or complete the form included on the Current Awareness Bulletin over the next few weeks.

Please note, you can now belong to as many Professional Sectors and Forums as you wish.

Should you wish to make your selections online, please remember that you will need to create your password to login if you have not already done so. A short guide to making your selection online is available here.

Sustainable Distribution Forum

'Distribution plays an important part in the economic growth of the country and must remain safe, clean, equitable and competitive, having minimal impact on the environment and the wider community. An effective sustainable distribution system is one that supports continued economic growth while protecting the environment and delivering a better quality of life for future generations.'

The role of the Sustainable Distribution Forum of CILT(UK) is to work with Government and Commercial partners and other stakeholders to identify and develop good practice in Sustainable Distribution - including Reverse Logistics - and disseminate the information gained for the betterment of the environment and the Logistics and Transport industry through a series of meetings, workshops, seminars and through newsletters and articles.

The Forum should consider and encourage research and endeavour to seek and distribute examples of best practice.
