CargoAi adds CO2 emission calculation features; drives sustainability

CargoAi is launching new options to permit freight forwarder to evaluate and cut back the CO₂ emissions generated by their enterprise actions.

Lastly, the month-to-month emissions report means forwarders can analyse their carbon influence and monitor enhancements. 

A number of months of improvement work went into constructing this advanced calculation system, with impartiality the first aim. In consequence, CO₂ emissions calculations for all airways are primarily based on the IATA RP1678 methodology, which is permitted by the International Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC). The European commonplace DIN EN 16258 may also be used.
