This sub-category is for discussions on reducing the environmental impact of deliveries and freight linked to research supply chains. Topics may include:

- Consolidation of deliveries and freight optimisation

- Low-carbon couriers and last-mile logistics

- Centralised stores, hubs, and shared services

- Reducing packaging and delivery frequency

- Linking logistics to procurement and supplier contracts

This space overlaps with _Travel & Transport_ (for staff and student movement), but here the focus is on **goods and materials moving into, out of, and within institutions**.
