With the help of an industry-leading methodology, shippers can accurately assess freight carbon emissions thanks to PSA BDP's Carbon Dashboard data service.

Following the official completion of PSA International's acquisition of BDP International in 2022, PSA BDP was destined to become a preeminent supplier of supply chain, transportation, and logistics solutions that are globally integrated and port-centric.

However, the company is also totally committed to developing sustainable products in order to hasten the decarbonization of the entire supply chain.

With the introduction of its Carbon Dashboard data service, shippers now have the means to more successfully meet sustainability goals by correctly measuring freight carbon emissions through the use of an industry-leading methodology.

Peggy Murphy, Vice President of Sustainability at PSA BDP, says, "We're committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the supply chain industry."

"The Carbon Dashboard releases data and facilitates the development, implementation, and monitoring of programs that will reduce carbon emissions throughout the supply chains of our customers, in addition to aiding in the measurement, accounting for, and setting of baselines and targets."

Several businesses are facing difficulties in making their freight carbon emissions visible.

These include problems with combining emissions reports from various carriers and forwarders, inconsistent data from different tools and methodologies, the inability to view CO2 emissions in a single platform, and the challenge of establishing targets and baselines for Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in the absence of precise, measurable measurement.

With its cutting-edge platform, PSA BDP offers users actionable insights and a simplified approach to addressing these issues.

The Carbon Dashboard provides comprehensive information on emissions from a range of transportation modes, including pre- and post-carriage, enabling users to make decisions that will further promote environmentally friendly shipping.

The Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework, the industry-standard methodology, and the ISO 14083 standard are supported by the EcoTransIT World emissions calculator, which is used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions.

Along with tracking the fill rate of containers, a crucial KPI, the dashboard provides insight into developing a more effective logistics operation through individual freight route and carrier monitoring.

This illustrates the connection between variations in tonnes/TEU and CO2e intensity, offering a more comprehensive understanding of cost that may lead to operational savings.

"Despite the fact that the industry has long prioritized sustainability, many customers still struggle to manage the intricate tracking of their freight emissions," says Peggy.

"With the aid of this tool, our customers will be able to close the gap, improve their environmental stewardship, and contribute to a more sustainable future."
