Kuehne + Nagel discloses CO2 emissions on sea freight invoices
KUEHNE + Nagel has started printing on invoices the total amount of CO2 emissions generated by sea freight shipments, in an effort to assist shippers in identifying their carbon footprint from transport operations.
With this initiative the company's customers are able to improve the analysis, reporting and management of CO2 emissions caused by their transport chain and thus achieve long-term reduction of the environmental impact.
For the calculation of the shipment CO2 data imprinted on its freight invoice, the logistics provider is using the data of its online Global Seafreight Carbon Calculator (GSCC), providing instant overviews of CO2, SOx and NOx emissions for full-container-load (FCL) and less-than-container-load (LCL) movements from door-to-door.
The FCL port-to-port emission data is compiled by the Clean Cargo Working Group (CCWG), whose shipping line members represent 87 per cent of the global container movements, based on the actual consumption of fuel by each vessel, trade lane, nominal vessel size and distance travelled.
Said K+N International board member Otto Schacht: "Our goal is to raise visibility and awareness of the environmental impact within the sea freight supply chain.
"This will improve decision making with respect to carbon emissions. Due to our global IT operating platform we are able to deliver customised reporting and digital solutions not only in our core business, but also in areas such as sustainability."
