Logistics UK has launched a new service to give members access to accurate CO2 emissions data.
The Emissions Reporting for Transport solution is designed to support members’ journeys to net zero and regulatory compliance, while meeting their customers’ sustainability requirements.
Developed in partnership with BearingPoint, the service draws on the independent management and technology consulting firm’s comprehensive carbon management solution to deliver accurate CO2 emissions data for legislative compliance, internal reporting and target tracking.
The partnership aims to create greater transparency in emissions reporting and help logistics companies plan, evaluate, implement and monitor green actions to reduce their environmental impact.
The business group says its members are fully committed to decarbonising, and many are already trialling or have adopted alternative fuels and technologies.
Accurate CO2 emission data is paramount for informed decision-making and Emissions Reporting for Transport delivers a strategic tool for managing the journey to net zero.
As more businesses begin reporting their indirect Scope 3 carbon emissions, suppliers will need to be able to provide this information, and often it will be a requirement of doing business.
Currently, many smaller suppliers lack the capacity or resources to supply this information, but Emissions Reporting for Transport resolves this, delivering information in an accessible format.
Al Richardson, head of membership and affinities at Logistics UK, said: “We are excited to partner with BearingPoint to offer this valuable service to our members and with the increasing need for accurate carbon footprint calculations, our members will benefit greatly from the detailed emissions reporting provided by BearingPoint’s technology.”
Richard Walters, senior manager at BearingPoint, added: “Creating greater transparency is the key to our approach. You cannot manage what you do not measure, and that is where our leading-edge solution comes in. We are proud to support Logistics UK in its mission to improve sustainability in the logistics sector.”
