Why shippers need maximum data quality to reduce Scope 3 emissions effectively
Shippers face mounting pressure to reduce Scope 3 emissions due to complex regulatory requirements. Read our blog article to learn about added value of precise and transparent emission data and how shippers get started with a “best practice” approach.
EU’s Regulatory Reset: The Omnibus Package and its impact on sustainability reporting
The European Parliament has recently approved the EU Omnibus Package, aiming to streamline sustainability regulations and boost the bloc’s competitiveness in general. While portrayed as a simplification effort, it is questionable whether these changes represent a step of deregulation.
SBTi’s proposed changes could transform how companies address value chain emissions
In a development that could reshape corporate climate strategies, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has proposed guidelines that would fundamentally alter how companies tackle their Scope 3 emissions – often the most challenging aspect of corporate decarbonization efforts.
Why only primary data enables LSPs to reduce scope 3 emissions efficiently
Logistics Service Providers must increasingly reduce scope 3 and report precise CO2e emissions, while being hampered by diverse IT landscapes and often lacking access to primary data from carriers. Read this article to learn how they deal with it.
Book & Claim: How to benefit from a combined registry and accounting system
For many transport and logistics companies, Book & Claim is the most cost-efficient entry point towards decarbonization. Learn in this article why carriers, LSPs, and shippers should embrace a combined registry and accounting system to unlock new business opportunities.
When and how carrier and LSP should act with Book & Claim
In this short article you’ll find five questions to determine if your transport and logistics company should consider Book & Claim to unlock new business opportunities. Gain insights about requirements for implementation of this approach to reach decarbonization goals.
Nachhaltigkeits-Regulierungen in der Logistik: Was Unternehmen 2025 wissen müssen
Immer striktere Nachhaltigkeits-Regulierungen verlangen von Unternehmen der Transport- und Logistikbranche zunehmend ambitionierte Dekarbonisierungsziele und präzise Nachweise über die Reduktion von CO2-Emissionen. Wir beleuchten für Sie fünf wichtige Richtlinien für den EU-Raum, die Entscheider 2025 unbedingt im Blick haben sollten.
Book & Claim: What carrier, LSP, and shipper need to know
With Book & Claim, a quantity of sustainable fuel can be ‘booked’ in one location and ‘claimed’ at another location that is physically not linked to the original one. Gain insights how logistics companies can unlock new business opportunities.
Should all-in-one control towers really be used for carbon accounting?
Even though all-in-one control towers can provide valuable insights, you will learn in this article why they shouldn’t serve as the primary tool for emissions calculations regarding data accuracy, scope definition, complexity of analysis, regulatory compliance and wider integration.
How external carbon pricing increasingly affects freight transportation
Read this blog article to gain insights into the various carbon pricing schemes applied to different modes of transport, and why transport and logistics companies like carriers, forwarders and shippers should explore the opportunities available to reduce CO2 emissions.
The challenges of carbon pricing for successful CO2 mitigation strategies
Carbon pricing is gaining awareness in transport and logistics amongst other industries because of increasing regulatory requirements. In this article you’ll learn about the three main concepts, effects on mitigation measures and differentiated price dynamics on a global scale.
How transport and logistics companies report quantitative data to match CSRD requirements
The Corporate Social Responsibility Directive (CSRD) makes companies in the EU subject to successive reporting obligations in various dimensions. Read this article to learn which quantitative data transport and logistics companies are expected to report and how to start.
5 reasons to stop including transport emissions on freight invoices
Including carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) values on freight invoices is an emerging practice for logistics service providers. This has a two-fold purpose: Providing customers with insights on produced transport emissions and advancing efforts to merge financial and carbon accounting.
Science-based targets: Setting measurable sustainability goals in transport and logistics
We’ve taken a closer look at tools and guidelines from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to outline how the approach works, why it is relevant for transport and logistics companies and how you can set up sustainability targets.
Why primary data is crucial for measuring CO2 emissions in transport and logistics
Primary data’s role in emissions accounting is fundamental. They provide the most accurate measurements of transport emissions as they’re based on actual fuel consumption. Find out more about methods of calculating emissions and best practices of primary data utilization.
Unveiling CSRD – its ripple effect on transport and logistics
We’ve taken a closer look at what the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is, which companies it concerns, what exactly needs to be reported, and how shippers, carriers and forwarders can brace for the challenges and opportunities it implies.
