In learning about a new industry, like sustainability in freight, you can get lost Googling meanings behind all the acronyms just to get a baseline understanding. 

On this episode of Net-Zero Carbon, Danny Gomez, FreightWaves’ managing director of financial and emerging markets, sits with resident sustainability expert Tyler Cole, director of carbon intelligence, to shed light on what “sustainability” means, all the acronyms that get thrown around when talking the talk, and why all this is relevant for firms that use or provide transportation services.

They break down the language you need to know in order to successfully discuss (or just understand) sustainable choices.
