Australian digital road-freight provider, Ofload, has launched its Carbon Analytics Platform (CAP), offering the first fully automated solution for companies to measure carbon output throughout their supply chain.
The tool comes ahead of expected regulation from the Australian Government, mandating carbon emissions reporting, and has already been adopted by well-known companies like Noumi, Metcash and Kimberly-Clark.
Ofload’s CAP tool offers businesses the insights needed to measure and subsequently reduce their logistics emissions, paving the way for enhanced operational efficiencies and a more sustainable future.
The system utilises data analytics to measure various criteria, including freight distance, vehicle type and age, load factors, and fuel consumption impacts, using the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework.
“Many companies are looking for ways to decrease the environmental impact of their operations, particularly in logistics, in response to demand from their customers and investors,” said Ofload’s founder and CEO, Geoffroy Henry.
“Our transformative technologies – from our carbon analytics platform, to our digital freight capabilities and other initiatives eliminating waste through the supply chain – give customers the tools they need to achieve these sustainability goals and gain a competitive advantage.
“Regardless of the specific requirements of the Australian Government’s forthcoming carbon disclosure requirements, they will naturally burden small businesses that form part of major supply chains. When it comes to logistics, the CAP reduces both the cost and complexity of compliance for major brands and small businesses alike,” he said.
Originally planned to align with the Australian Government’s anticipated carbon-related financial disclosure requirements, which are currently passing through Parliament, Ofload’s CAP has attracted significant interest from businesses keen to proactively address environmental stewardship and demonstrate commitment to environmental impact assessments.
According to Ofload, the Platform has already measured the carbon output for companies moving goods across more than 21 million kilometres of supply chains.
