Companies struggling to provide emissions data ahead of CSRD

Businesses fear they are not CSRD ready

Some 41% of businesses fear that they would struggle to provide the data required to comply with new regulations.¹ But the longer companies leave starting to track their carbon emissions, the harder it will be to comply.

The forthcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires some 50,000 businesses trading with the European Union to track and report on the carbon emissions from their activities.  While the exact implementation deadline differs among sectors and countries, experts want that there is no time to waste. 

A steep climb to compliance

Emissions reporting is coming and the sooner companies start collecting their data and compiling the information that they required, the better.  The longer businesses leave it, the steeper the climb to compliance will be. 

But the right tracking tools will give the business the data needed and make sustainability reporting easy.

Emissions reporting for a greener ecommerce

We have developed ‘Emissions Tracker’ to help retailers and warehouses manage reporting requirements. It collates all carrier data into one reporting tool with an easy-to-use template. Calculations are made at shipment level, giving retailers the ability to drill into shipping data, compile accurate reports, and identify quick wins for emissions reduction.

The new solution helps businesses comply with CSRD and reduce emissions by:

• Calculating and reporting emissions for all shipments in a single place
• Reflecting best practices for tariff calculation by using standard tariffs provided by the Network for Transport Measures (NTM)
• Making sure that data for reporting is uniform across all carriers
• Measuring emissions by CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) is a more accurate and comprehensive measure than CO2 alone
• Calculating the tariff based on distance traveled and weight of shipment
