One of the global leaders in Less than Container Load (LCL) consolidations faced significant hurdles in calculating emissions from their transactions. The sheer volume of data—ranging from 40,000 to 60,000 entries for a single freight type—made the task daunting. Adding to their difficulties were complex data collection requirements stretched across 20 countries, which complicated their reporting on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicators. Poor data quality and availability further obstructed their ability to measure and disclose their environmental impact. With increasing customer demands for transparency on emissions and ESG performance, the client needed a viable solution.
GovEVA's e-carbon calculators enabled the computation of emissions from millions of entries within seconds, significantly saving time and resources. The implementation of a centralised data management system facilitated seamless global collaboration and improved data quality and integrity. The GovEVA platform also supported direct GRI reporting, with digital data collection from 20 countries, and provided clear and transparent audit trails. Additionally, discussions were held on application programming interface (API) integration to display emissions data to customers in real-time during the booking process, helping them make more sustainable choices and minimise their carbon footprint.
GovEVA empowered the client to set precise ESG targets using measured data. User-friendly dashboards ensured effective alignment among CXOs and board members, fostering strategic decision-making to drive key business initiatives. Real-time tracking of key metrics and progress parameters provided continuous updates on their overall ESG performance, enabling the client to maintain transparency and accountability.
