PSA BDP has launched its new Carbon Dashboard data service to help measure freight emissions and help achieve sustainability targets.
The global logistics and supply chain solutions provider said the platform equips shippers with a tool to measure their freight carbon emissions accurately using an industry-leading methodology and enables them to achieve their sustainability targets more effectively.
It noted that currently, many companies face challenges around their freight carbon emissions' visibility, including consolidating multiple emissions reports across multiple forwarders and carriers, inconsistent data due to the use of varying tools and methodologies, lack of a single view of CO2 emissions in one platform, and the difficulty of setting baselines and targets for Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions without clear, accurate measurement.
"The new digital tool from PSA BDP provides a streamlined solution to address these challenges while providing actionable insights for users," it said in the announcement.
PSA BDP noted that by offering detailed data on emissions across various transportation modes, including pre-and post-carriage, the Carbon Dashboard empowers customers to make informed decisions that further support sustainable shipping.
Greenhouse gas calculations are powered by the EcoTransIT World emissions calculator, which supports the ISO 14083 standard and complies with the provisions of the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework, which is the industry-standard methodology.
The Dashboard also gives insight into designing a more efficient logistics process through individual freight lane and carrier analysis and the ability to track the fill rate of containers, a critical key performance indicator — showing the relationship between changes in tonnes/TEU and CO2e intensity, thereby providing a more holistic view of cost that can in turn, help drive operational savings.
Key benefits include compliant and consistent carbon emissions data tracking and tailored reporting to track progress while saving time and achieving sustainability targets through actionable insights.
"At PSA BDP, we are committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the supply chain industry," said Peggy Murphy, VP of Sustainability at PSA BDP. "The Carbon Dashboard unlocks data and helps not only to measure, account for, and set baselines and targets but also to develop, implement and track the programs which will deliver carbon reductions across our customers' supply chains."
Murphy noted that while sustainability has been a focal point for the industry for years, many customers still face issues when managing the complex tracking of their freight emissions.
"This tool will help bridge the gap, enabling our customers to enhance their environmental stewardship and contribute to a more sustainable future."
PSA BDP noted that emissions data through the Carbon Dashboard will be offered as part of the company's lead logistics and transportation services.
