Carbon Calculator
Welcome to our Carbon Calculator, a tool designed to help you measure and minimize the environmental impact of your shipments.
Responsible freight forwarding
We recognize the importance of sustainability in global logistics. Our Carbon Calculator enables you to track the carbon emissions generated by your freight activities, empowering you to make informed decisions and reduce your carbon footprint. Whether you’re shipping by air, sea, or ground, our tool provides transparent insights, helping you take actionable steps towards greener logistics solutions and supporting your sustainability goals.
Carbon Offsetting in Logistics
Carbon offsetting in logistics involves compensating for the greenhouse gas emissions produced during transportation and supply chain activities by investing in projects that reduce or capture an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide elsewhere.
This can include initiatives such as reforestation, renewable energy projects, or methane capture programs. By integrating carbon offsetting into your logistics operations, you can aim to mitigate the environmental impact of your activities, support global sustainability efforts, and enhance your commitment to reducing carbon footprint.
Sustainable Logistics can help reduce the carbon footprint of the shipping industry
Ways we can all help:
- Plan your logistics
- Select sustainable transport methods
- opt for sustainable packaging
- Calculate Emissions
We are able to calculate your carbon footprint per shipment, contact us for details
Formulas and assumptions used for the calculation of CO2e emissions are based on accredited sources such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Distances may differ as many factors can change the direction of travel. We will either use Actual Distance or Great circle distance (GCD – Also known as direct distance or ‘as the crow flies’)
Weather, atmospheric conditions, equipment age and other factors can effect getting an accurate calculation.
Freight is based on averages using 2024 GHG Protocol and Methodology
- WTW (Well-to-Wheel): This refers to the total lifecycle emissions of a vehicle or fuel, encompassing both the production and consumption stages
- TTW (Tank-to-Wheel): This focuses solely on the emissions produced during the operation of the vehicle (i.e., while the fuel is being burned or the energy is consumed). It excludes upstream emissions from fuel production and distribution
- WTT (Well-to-Tank): This refers to emissions generated from the production, processing, and transportation of the fuel or energy source up to the point where it is stored in the vehicle (the “tank”). It covers the “upstream” emissions part of the fuel lifecycle
Carbon Sequestration: Capturing and storing atmospheric CO₂ through natural processes (trees)
Carbon Avoidance: Preventing new greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy or efficiency projects.
Carbon Insetting: Reducing or sequestering emissions within a company’s own supply chain or operations.
Carbon Offsetting: Compensating emissions by funding external projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases.
