Five practical ways shippers can reduce freight emissions

You do not need to overhaul your supply chain to cut emissions. Start with these five changes.

Transport is a major source of supply chain emissions, but shippers have more levers than they think.

  1. Shift modes where you can. Moving suitable cargo from air to sea, or from road to rail, cuts emissions per tonne kilometre dramatically.
  2. Fill the box. Better packaging and load planning reduce the number of trips.
  3. Consolidate. Fewer, fuller shipments beat many small ones.
  4. Choose lower carbon options. Ask for rail, biofuel or sustainable aviation fuel options on your key lanes.
  5. Measure it. You cannot manage what you do not measure. Shipment level emissions reporting makes trade offs visible.

We provide emissions reports for every shipment so you can set baselines and track progress over time.
