Damco launches “dashboard” for tracking carbon
The Damco subsidiary of A.P. Moller – Maersk said it has launched a new product for shippers to report carbon emissions.The “Supply Chain Carbon Dashboard” is a graphical representation that allows customers to keep track of their carbon footprint throughout their supply chain.
'By displaying carbon emissions on a detailed level, for example by transport mode or by product, the Carbon Dashboard immediately allows you to identify 'carbon hotspots' in your supply chain. This will help you reduce your carbon footprint, in response to the growing focus on climate change, while at the same time generating genuine cost savings opportunities,' said Erling Johns Nielsen, head of Damco's supply chain development team. 'With the evolvement of environmental taxes and emission trading schemes to stimulate reduction of carbon emissions, the necessity of reporting your carbon footprint and tracking your progress towards reducing this footprint has become more important than ever.”
