The initiative is a part of the company’s green logistics ecosystem and aims to empower customers to decarbonize their supply chains.

Mahindra Logistics Limited, one of India’s largest integrated logistics solutions providers, has launched the ‘Emission Analytics Report’, a digital platform that provides customers with real-time visualisation of their carbon emissions and empowers them to decarbonise their supply chain. Focussing on transportation, the user-friendly platform provides Scope 3 carbon emission data of their customers and offers detailed insights on emissions intensity, tonne-kilometres, emissions by mode of transport, fuel usage, access to emissions savings certificates, and more, all through a monthly subscription-based model.

The Emission Analytics Report is a part of Mahindra Logistics’ green logistics ecosystem, driven by Edel, initially a green last-mile cargo delivery service offering. EDeL has evolved into a comprehensive, sustainable suite, including carbon-neutral warehousing solutions, fleet of 2W, 3W & 4W electric vehicles for last-mile delivery, and this Emissions Analytics Report. Accessible through a fully automated system, the report is established via a SaaS platform. Accredited by the Global Logistics Emission Council (GLEC) and ISO 14083, this platform seamlessly integrates into existing systems, making it accessible on both web and mobile devices.

The platform enables customers complying with BRSR and other environmental regulations, as well as companies aspiring to improve sustainability, transition towards green logistics. By innovating and optimizing transportation, the report also quantifies shipment-level reporting of Scope 3 emissions for industries such as auto, manufacturing, consumer goods, retail, FMCG, mobility, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, quick commerce, and freight forwarding.

Commenting on the Launch, Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director and CEO, Mahindra Logistics Ltd., said, “Logistics today is about creating value for stakeholders, customers, communities, and the planet.

Commenting on the Launch, Swayantani Ghosh, Chief Sustainability & CSR Officer Mahindra Logistics Ltd., said, “In a rapidly growing economy like India, the need to lead a comprehensive effort in the fight against climate change is the need of the hour. Particularly in the context of supply chain, scope 3 decarbonization imposes unique challenges in absence of right framework, tool and data. With the introduction of shipment-level Emission Analytics Report powered with climate-focused AI, our clients can track carbon footprint for their shipments on real time, access emission savings analytics and evaluate decarb modelling. Right from reporting to low-carbon decision making, at every step we as an integrated logistic player aim to partner with our clients in their transition to net zero “.
