Freight Buyers Communities
These are industry-specific communities that bring together shipper members to share knowledge, align on priorities, and take joint action toward decarbonizing freight and logistics:
Shippers Circle
Unites all SFBA shipper members across industries in dedicated events focused on members’ priorities and best practice exchange.
Fashion & Beauty Community
Connects shippers from the fashion and beauty industries for industry-specific discussions, collaboration, and working groups.
Pharma & Healthcare Community

All these communities combine peer-led contributions with insights from SFC experts, ensuring sessions are both practical and informed by the latest developments.

Important Milestones Hit From the Beginning of This Workstream
We have launched three communities during Smart Freight Week 2025 and began with surveys to define member priorities. Key activities include:
- Shipper Circle: session on Unlocking the Power of Primary Data
- Fashion & Beauty: sessions on Book & Claim and Management Performance Best Practices; launch of working groups on Best Practices, Air Freight, and Standardization
- Pharma & Healthcare: sessions on Air-to-Ocean Strategies and Emissions Accounting and Tools
Across all communities, members have benefited from both peer-led discussions and expert-supported insights, with a growing emphasis on delivering tangible results.

I love how SFC is bringing people together and letting them learn from each other.
I appreciate the opportunity to engage with other shippers in the same boat. It has been very valuable to make those network connections
