BigMile

How Rittal, Melis Logistics and BigMile teamed up to track CO2 emissions 👇 Rittal Nederland is a leader in enclosure systems, power distribution, climate control, IT infrastructure, and related services. Melis Logistics has years of experience in all aspects of the logistics process. Both needed better insight into their CO2 emissions, so they turned to the BigMile platform. One of the key features of the BigMile platform is data sharing. This allows shippers to easily receive CO2 emissions per shipment from their carrier(s) and create ISO-14083-certified CO2 emission reports. Melis Logistics can now directly share the CO2 calculations of the shipments executed for Rittal. A unique functionality 🤩 But there’s more to the story for these two companies. Want to know what?

Are you working in logistics? Then you will soon be required to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This directive states that more and more companies will be required to report their impact on people and the climate starting in 2024. The goal is to increase transparency and improve the quality of sustainability information. The application of CSRD takes place in four stages: 1️⃣ Reporting in 2025: companies already covered by the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) will report in 2025 for the financial year 2024. 2️⃣ Reporting in 2026: other large companies now also have to report on the financial year 2025. 3️⃣ Reporting in 2027: listed SMEs, small and non-complex credit institutions, and captive insurance companies will report in 2027 for the financial year 2026. 4️⃣ Reporting in 2029: non-EU companies with EU revenue over €150 million and at least one EU subsidiary or branch meeting certain criteria will report in 2029 for the financial year 2028. No matter what stage your company is at, chances are that you will be asked to report your emissions soon by larger clients. Do you need help calculating or reporting them? BigMile's platform can take care of that for you. Curious how it works? Check out our website! #CSRD #fourstages #everymileisabigmile

How Moonen Packaging connects all of its carriers to a single portal 👇 Sustainability has been a key focus for Moonen Packaging - B Corp™ Packaging for years. They’re not just looking at the environmental impact of their operations, but also working to cut carbon emissions throughout the entire supply chain 🚚 Since transport is managed by various logistics providers, each with their own expertise, it's important to have clear visibility into CO2 emissions to influence both upstream and downstream partners. Suppliers need to be able to weigh up their deliveries based not only on costs and delivery time, but also on CO2 emissions. That’s where BigMile’s carbon accounting software comes in. With the software, the packaging company can track CO2 emissions for each transport shipment. They even print the carbon emissions for each shipment right on the packing slip. This is possible thanks to the integration of the BigMile Emission API webservice in the TMS system of Deliverymatch, which Moonen Packaging is using On a strategic level, the analytics tool gives Moonen Packaging a clearer view of their overall impact. Curious about what we mean by the bigger picture? Check out the full case study on our (new!) website.

You’ve probably noticed that at BigMile, we're making big steps with a small footprint 💥 But behind the scenes, we've been working hard on something new: our website. And we're excited to finally announce that it's live! 🤩 The new site better showcases what BigMile is all about: calculating & reporting on supply chain-related CO2 emissions. Our website now features a fresh look with clear images and new industry pages. On these pages, you can learn how our product helps shippers, carriers, and logistics service providers track and calculate their emissions with our carbon accounting software. We’re really proud of the result, so take a look around and let us know what you think 🙌 Every mile with a small footprint is a big mile ♻️

Shippers use our platform to calculate their emissions. Of course, we could explain why it works so well for this industry, but it's better to hear what our customers have to say 😉 We asked Jeroen de Waaij, Global Sustainability Manager at Meelunie, what he thinks is the added value of our platform. This is his response: “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.” Want to know more about how we can help you calculate your emissions?

What is EU Taxonomy and how is it linked to CSRD? 🧐 The EU Taxonomy is a system that sets clear standards for what counts as responsible and sustainable financial investments. It prevents misleading claims about being eco-friendly, known as greenwashing. This system is a key part of the European Green Deal, the EU’s plan towards a climate-neutral economy. The EU Taxonomy defines which activities are truly sustainable by looking at their impact on climate change. Large companies and financial institutions use this list for reporting purposes. The EU also introduced the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Around 50,000 European companies need to report on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors. What does this mean for logistics you may ask? The EU Taxonomy can be a challenge for logistics service providers, as it requires them to be transparent about their environmental impact. But it also allows them to differentiate themselves and demonstrate their commitment to a sustainable future. Are you working as a logistics transporter, service provider, or shipper and struggling to get accurate insights into your environmental impact? BigMile's platform can help you with this. Our software lets you automatically calculate and report your emissions. Want to learn more? Visit our website! #CSRD #eutaxanomy #everymileisabigmile
