Hellmann Worldwide Logistics is entering into a pioneering partnership with Shipzero to make road transport more sustainable. The Germany-based company measures and reduces CO2 emissions in global freight transport. The cooperation builds on a successful pilot project since April of this year. Shipzero supports the entire data management process and determines the CO2 emissions for Hellmann’s global road business as part of the cooperation. In doing so, shipzero also includes primary data from external logistics partners in the calculation, thus ensuring that the CO2 measurements are not based on extrapolations and average values – as has been customary in the market to date – but on actual consumption data.
To determine precise emission values, data is exchanged between Hellmann and its transport partners via the Shipzero platform to collect precise Scope 3 emissions per customer, shipment and route section. These are then integrated into the calculation of the corporate carbon footprint, external audits and sustainability reports, thus supporting compliance with new regulatory requirements that will come into effect in 2024. The data-based processing and analysis of transport data enables Hellmann to identify specific decarbonization projects within the supply chain and implement them with its partners.
“In today’s world, sustainability is a key issue, and legal regulations also demand transparency in supply chains. Hellmann was one of the first major logistics service providers to take up this challenge and uses Shipzero’s innovative technology to create precise, shipment-related CO2 emission calculations for road transport based on primary data. This enables us to respond to customer requirements and regulatory specifications, optimize our supply chains and reduce CO2 emissions in road transport based on the newly gained data transparency. The more primary data is available, the more precise the calculation will be. That is why we are in close dialogue with our external transport service providers to integrate them into this pioneering project,” says Jens Wollesen, Chief Operating Officer, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
“Our goal is to create in-depth transparency and decision-making capability for Hellmann regarding its decarbonization process – and to do so in accordance with reliable international standards. We are building a consistent database and infrastructure for this,” adds Tobias Bohnhoff, Managing Director of Shipzero.
