A.P. Moller – Maersk has announced a new tool to provide end-to-end carbon footprint visibility with The Emissions Dashboard. The tool aims to consolidate emissions data across all transport modes and carriers, enabling customers to set a baseline and optimise their emissions footprint.

The Emissions Dashboard is an analytical data tool where customers are provided with carbon footprint measurements from their entire supply chain, giving a detailed emissions overview whether their products are transported via truck, train, plane, or vessel, according to the company. With an emissions overview, Maersk intends, companies will be able to disclose emissions information to the public, covering all their container flows.
 
“As our customers trust Maersk with a wider part of their supply chains, they also expect from us that we assist their climate actions through sustainable end-to-end offerings. An increasing share of our customers are setting ambitious sustainability goals, making emissions visibility critical in order to document performance towards these targets. The Emissions Dashboard will ensure full visibility for our customers to leverage on their journeys towards decarbonised supply chains,” explained Vincent Clerc, CEO of Ocean & Logistics, A.P. Moller – Maersk.

“An increasing share of our customers are setting ambitious sustainability goals, making emissions visibility critical in order to document performance towards these targets. The Emissions Dashboard will ensure full visibility for our customers to leverage on their journeys towards decarbonised supply chains”, added Clerc.

Designed as a one-stop-shop The Emissions Dashboard conforms to the GLEC methodology to calculate emissions and it handles emissions data from all carriers involved in the end-to-end supply chain – not only emissions data from Maersk.
 
According to Maersk, around half of its 200 largest customers have either set, or are in the process of setting, science-based or zero carbon targets for their supply chains. The Emissions Dashboard has been tested by 10 key customers of Maersk, among these are science-based agricultural technology company Syngenta.
“Maersk and Syngenta have a joint vision to significantly reduce our carbon footprint for transport and logistics. We know that to succeed, we will need high-quality emissions data. The clear visuals and insights provided by the Emissions Dashboard offer an accurate picture of our emissions, guide our decision-making, and help us identify the most impactful changes we can make. Our collaboration with Maersk moves us towards a more sustainable future,” said Ai May Ong, Global Logistics Capacity Manager, Syngenta.
 

The Emissions Dashboard is part of Maersk’s commitment to global sustainability.
