DS Freight Forwarding launches carbon emissions tracking & reporting
Sustainability in logistics has rapidly evolved from a peripheral concern to a critical business need. At DS Freight Forwarding, we’ve always aimed to stay ahead of market trends and regulatory shifts. Today, we’re pleased to announce our new carbon emissions tracking and reporting initiative.
Through our partnership with CO2Path
- DSFF clients can now receive accurate, transparent reporting on the Greenhouse Gas emissions generated by the transport services we provide in order to fulfil their CSRD reporting needs.
- DSFF clients can now know exactly what their transport emissions are and where they originate from, in order to accelerate their emissions reduction plans.
- Our emissions calculation and reporting process is standard-compliant (ISO 14083) and audit-ready, making it easier for DSFF clients to collaborate with their in-house climate accounting experts or external consultants.
Core benefits of emissions tracking & reporting
- Compliance and Risk Management
- Countries enforcing CSRD will be imposing penalties for non-compliance that can include fines and reputational harm. Even in EU states that are mid-transposition of CSRD, enforcement will follow quickly once local laws finalize. The standards-compliant data produced by CO2Path helps our clients stay prepared and avoid penalties.
- Strengthened Brand Credibility
- Customers, investors, and regulators increasingly view transparent environmental reporting as an indicator of responsible corporate behavior. Demonstrating a clear commitment to carbon accountability can enhance brand reputation and stakeholder trust.
- Access to Sustainable Financing
- Financial institutions and investment firms factor environmental sustainability performance into lending decisions. Organizations receiving loans are expected to make meaningful progress towards decarbonization. Having verifiable emissions data and clear carbon-reduction goals can open doors to more favorable funding opportunities and partnerships.
- Unlocking Emissions Reductions
- If you cannot measure something, you cannot improve it. This is true for indirect (supply chain) emissions as well. The reporting that CO2Path now provides to DSFF clients gives them the key information that they need in order to understand what their supply chain emissions exactly are, what their sources are, and what they can do to reduce them.
Why CO2Path?
In choosing CO2Path, DSFF ensures our clients benefit from a platform that is not generic in nature but tailored specifically to the types of logistics services we offer. Key features include:
- Automated Data Acquisition
- CO2Path automatically captures shipment data, route details, and carrier information directly from the systems of DSFF, minimizing any manual data collection and reporting errors.
- Automated Data Quality Control
- All data received by CO2Path undergoes automated quality checks to detect inconsistencies or errors and prevent errors in calculations and reporting.
- Comprehensive Reporting
- Whether it’s an at-a-glance dashboard for internal stakeholders or detailed figures for annual CSRD reports, CO2Path’s outputs are aligned with ISO 14083 standards and fully compatible with varying national requirements.
- Real-Time Emissions Visibility
- Rather than waiting for quarterly or annual summaries, companies can monitor carbon output continuously, making timely adjustments to reduce their carbon footprint.
