On 1 December we will launch a new logo qualification and industry-leading product for members. This new program will allow customers and partners to identify members that utilise internationally recognised emissions tools and calculators and provide essential data on the environmental impact of freight movements.
Why we are doing this
The effects of climate change are being seen and experienced around the world and governments and international bodies are increasingly responding to these challenges by introducing a raft of legislation, regulations, incentives and penalties within a huge range of industries.
The global supply chain is under particular scrutiny and all players, from shippers and forwarders to carriers, truckers and ports and airports will be affected by these changes. We want WCAworld members to be fully informed and at the forefront of implementing the products, processes, regulations and emissions data provision that will be increasingly required.
The changes the industry is making marks a huge opportunity for WCAworld members to place themselves as leaders in this area. As more and more shippers are required to provide emissions data and produce carbon offsetting policies, they will increasingly rely on logistics partners that can provide this data and help them meet regulations, offset carbon and achieve their obligations and aims. Many larger tenders from shippers already demand verified emissions data from their logistics partners.
