Increasingly users of containerized transportation – shippers – have as an objective the reduction of their supply chain’s carbon footprint, i.e. Scope 3 emissions. That is not a simple task when the shipping industry is still in the very early stages of identifying viable zero-carbon fuels, technology, and regulation that will further its energy transition in line with commitments of the International Maritime Organization and individual carriers.
But with at least a dozen players involved in the most basic of supply chains, from ocean carriers to forwarders and truckers, there remain vast opportunities for companies to reduce the carbon footprint of an ocean container supply chain. Given shippers’ growing demands on the industry to decarbonize, it is incumbent upon carriers, 3PLs, draymen, truckers and rail operators to make the reduction of GHG emissions a core goal of their supply chain resilience strategies. Many have begun doing so.
Led by Kristy Asseily, emissions reporting and analytics manager at ZeroNorth, this session will not only provide techniques on how individual companies can reduce emissions, but also present case studies on how companies band together to achieve carbon neutrality across the maritime ecosystem. This session will outline the current state of the containerized ocean trade’s carbon footprint, shed light on shipping companies and other logistics vendors’ carbon reduction offerings and propose tools for emissions calculation and reduction. Supported by field-proven techniques for shrinking carbon footprints, this class is a must for companies committed to efficiently decarbonize their supply chains.
