Emissions calculation for shippers

Shippers need CO₂e emission insights into their entire supply chain, from the moment raw materials or new stock arrives at the factory or warehouse (inbound stream) to the moment it reaches the final destination (outbound stream). BigMile allows them to calculate end-to-end CO₂e emissions throughout the entire supply chain.

Why shippers love working with us

Don’t just take our word for it. Here is what shippers are saying about BigMile.

“Using BigMile Carbon Analytics, we can calculate the CO2 emissions of our supply chain partners’ intermodal transport movements. Higher reliability of our measurements will help us decide how best to reduce and offset our emissions. We actively share the information with our supply chain partners and engage with them on how we can work together to achieve lower emissions. We strongly believe it is more effective to set up projects to address carbon emissions within our supply chain together with our partners.”

Jeroen de Waaij

Global Sustainability Manager, Meelunie

“In our own portal we can look at all the carriers and gain insights into our total transport carbon footprint. For example, we can see whether it is more economical to bundle a shipment and/or to move it to a specific day. Our salespeople then use this information to continuously encourage our customers to place their orders more consciously.”

Roland van Bussel

Operations Director, Moonen Packaging

“BigMile’s graphical user interface with interactive analysis gives us insights into which steps we can take to save CO2. For example, it became clear to us that we were causing a lot of CO2 emissions for some customers by sending them a large number of small shipments, resulting in high CO2 emissions per kilo or per shipment. This was not always necessary, so we’ve started a dialogue with some of those customers to reduce the shipment frequency.”

What types of emissions does BigMile support calculation for?

BigMile supports calculation of transport and supply chain-related CO₂e emissions, which can be scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions depending on whether you own or outsource your transport activities. These emissions typically fall under the subcategories of Scope 3.4 (Upstream Transportation and Distribution) and Scope 3.9 (Downstream Transportation and Distribution) under the GHG Protocol.

How does BigMile compare to online emissions calculators?

Online emissions calculators are sufficient for one-off emissions calculations but lack the granularity and insights needed when calculating emissions for multiple journeys or across your operations.

BigMile provides shipment-level CO₂e emissions data using a calculation methodology aligned with ISO 14083:2023 and the GLEC Framework. This means you can provide accurate emissions data to customers and gain insights into emissions hotspots and opportunities to reduce your carbon footprint.

Is BigMile suitable for users with no experience in carbon accounting?

Yes. BigMile is designed to be accessible to users with no prior experience in emissions calculation, while also meeting the needs of more experienced sustainability and operations teams.

How long does the onboarding take?

BigMile can be up and running within just a few days. New clients are guided through the onboarding process by a dedicated Business Consultant to ensure the platform is configured to their specific needs and preferences.

Is there a free trial available?
