Linking Sustainability with Livelihoods: V-Trans’ Approach to Responsible Logistics

India’s logistics sector is being called upon to balance the demands of economic growth with the environmental and social costs of moving goods at scale. As companies look beyond emissions and operational efficiency, the conversation is also expanding to include resource use, worker wellbeing, rural livelihoods and the resilience of communities connected to business operations. This is making sustainability less of a standalone CSR exercise and more closely linked to how businesses plan, operate and measure long-term value. For V-Trans India Ltd, this approach is reflected in its work with farming communities through a fruit-bearing tree plantation programme across Rajasthan, Maharashtra...
