Under the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, transport emissions become a reportable line for thousands of companies that never measured them before. The good news is that freight offers some of the cheapest emission reductions in your business.
Measure first
We provide GLEC-framework emission calculations per shipment and per lane on request. Knowing that ocean freight emits roughly one-thirtieth of air per tonne-kilometre reframes many “urgent” decisions.
The big levers
- Mode shift: move deferred air cargo to rail or ocean; shift long-haul road to intermodal rail.
- Load factor: consolidate orders into fewer, fuller containers and trailers.
- Routing: direct services with fewer transhipments cut both emissions and risk.
- Fuels: book biofuel and sustainable aviation fuel options through carrier insetting programmes.
Where to start
Ask us for a lane-by-lane emission baseline for the last twelve months. In most cases we can identify a mode-shift or consolidation plan that cuts emissions by 20 to 40 percent without touching service levels.
