A New Step in Responsible Logistics
We are pleased to announce that we are preparing to integrate pollutant data into our customer sustainability reports, complementing the CO₂ insights we already provide.
Until recently, corporate sustainability efforts have primarily focused on measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. While CO₂ remains critical in assessing climate impact, the broader environmental footprint of logistics goes further.

Why Air Pollutants Matter
Experts are increasingly highlighting the impact of air pollutants such as:
These emissions influence the climate in the short term and, more importantly, have immediate and serious consequences for public health. For an industry operating across cities, ports, rail corridors, and industrial zones, these effects cannot be overlooked.
Sustainable logistics today means looking beyond carbon accounting and addressing the full spectrum of environmental impact.
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
- Sulphur oxides (SOx)
- Particulate matter (PM)
- Black carbon

Logistics Responsibility in a Multimodal Environment
Logistics is a machine-intensive, multimodal industry operating in close interaction with people, infrastructure, and nature. Road, rail, sea, and air transport each contribute differently to atmospheric emissions.
Recognising this complexity, the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) framework — developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Smart Freight Center — now formally includes the tracking and reporting of air pollutants alongside greenhouse gases.
This marks an important shift towards more comprehensive environmental transparency across the logistics sector.

Standardised, Transparent, and Research-Based
The updated GLEC methodology provides:
This enables us to deliver consistent, reliable, and internationally aligned sustainability data to our clients.
By expanding our reporting capabilities, we reinforce our commitment to responsible logistics and provide our partners with deeper environmental insights that support strategic decision-making.
