Commitment & collaboration

Project Manager Sara Thiel then presented the Surflogh pilot Good Goods, assisted by Elyas  (who is goods transporter in the project) and Jonas Holmberg from the work group focussing on waste and recycling aspects. It was inspiring to see the enthousiastic discussions that followed and the general commitment to the project and the theme of green logistics. The issues are often complex, there is plenty of work still to be done, but Good Goods is considered to be a very important investment for the city. 

Collaboration on all fronts – both locally and internationally – forms a solid  basis for this success.
