A staggering 24% of total greenhouse gas emissions are a result of transport, with road freight, shipping and air freight significantly contributing to this figure. While this statistic suggests that the future of the transport industry is intertwined with sustainability, how can you actively lower supply chain emissions without impacting supply chain performance?
Thanks to data and analytics, the industry is becoming more transparent and efficient, allowing shippers to more easily introduce sustainable practices to help in reducing supply chain emissions . Areas can be highlighted where productivity could be improved and business goals can easily be tracked and monitored. Improved data quality can be used to help reach supply chain emissions targets while improving brand reputation, consumer satisfaction and performance.
Data plays a fundamental role in providing visibility and actionable information to help businesses understand their carbon footprint and act appropriately to make changes.
Historically, so-called “carbon calculators” have been used in an attempt to understand the impact businesses are having on the environment, but instead, they are providing absurdly poor or inaccurate data.
Most businesses will ultimately encounter unavoidable emissions that can’t be eliminated using carbon reduction strategies. Once reduction measures have been decided, they need to look into offsetting through carbon removal or prevention projects i.e. projects that remove CO2 from the atmosphere or reduce the amount from being released in the first place.
Pledge’s offsetting projects are rigorously vetted by independent registries like Verra and Gold Standard; and their fractional approach lets businesses build balanced portfolios of verified projects that encompass a range of projects and technologies. And, thanks to the data driven insights, they are provided with an accurate figure that allows them to offset up to 100% of their entire supply chain’s carbon footprint.
