PSA BDP’s Carbon Dashboard to Help Shippers Meet Targets

From the moment PSA International officially completed its acquisition of BDP International in 2022, the newly-formed PSA BDP was destined to establish itself as a leading provider of globally integrated and port-centric supply chain, transportation and logistics solutions.

But the organisation is also laser-focused on sustainable product development aimed at accelerating end-to-end supply chain decarbonisation.

The launch of its Carbon Dashboard data service equips shippers with a tool to measure freight carbon emissions accurately using an industry-leading methodology, enabling them to achieve sustainability targets more effectively.

“We’re committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the supply chain industry,” comments Peggy Murphy, VP of Sustainability at PSA BDP.

“The Carbon Dashboard unlocks data and not only helps to measure, account for and set baselines and targets, but also develop, implement and track the programmes which will deliver carbon reductions across our customers' supply chains.”

Empowering customers to make informed decisions 

Countless companies are encountering challenges when it comes to the visibility of their freight carbon emissions.

These include issues consolidating emissions reports across multiple forwarders and carriers, inconsistent data due to the use of varying tools and methodologies, lack of a single view of CO2 emissions in one platform and the difficulty of setting baselines and targets for Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions without clear, accurate measurement. 

PSA BDP’s innovative platform provides a streamlined solution to address these challenges while giving users actionable insights.

By offering detailed data on emissions across various transportation modes, including pre- and post-carriage, the Carbon Dashboard empowers customers to make informed decisions that further support sustainable shipping.

GHG calculations are powered by the EcoTransIT World emissions calculator, which supports the ISO 14083 standard and complies with the provisions of the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework, the industry- standard methodology.

The dashboard also offers insight into designing a more efficient logistics process through individual freight lane and carrier analysis, as well as the ability to track the fill rate of containers – a critical KPI.

This shows the relationship between changes in tonnes/TEU and CO2e intensity, thereby providing a more holistic view of cost that can in turn, help drive operational savings.

“While sustainability has been a focal point for the industry for years, many customers still face issues when managing the complex tracking of their freight emissions,” adds Peggy.

“This tool will help bridge the gap, enabling our customers to enhance their environmental stewardship and contribute to a more sustainable future."

Reliable emissions data and insights

Key benefits of PSA BDP’s Carbon Dashboard tool include:

• Compliant and consistent carbon emissions data tracking – anytime, anywhere: Through the web-based tool, users gain access to precise measurements of carbon emissions data, thereby enabling retrospective emissions accounting for data continuity and analysis. The Carbon Dashboard is powered by the EcoTransIT World emissions calculator, which accounts for transportation mode, distance and fuel consumption to ensure accuracy. As a member of the Clean Cargo Alliance, PSA BDP offers exclusive access to carrier-specific emissions factors for ocean freight, delivering more reliable emissions data.
• Tailored Reporting to track progress While Saving Time: Users can generate customisable reports that detail emissions data, allowing them to track progress toward sustainability goals and identify areas for improvement, along with the ability to download retrospective emissions data, including consignment details, kgs, TEUs, t/TEU, CBM ports of call, dates and CO2 emissions. 
• Achievable sustainability targets through actionable insights: In addition to the Carbon Dashboard data, the PSA BDP Sustainability Team provides actionable insights and recommendations for reducing emissions. This helps companies to implement effective sustainability strategies while optimising supply chain processes – in turn making operations more eco-friendly and efficient.
