Mumbai, August 20, 2024: Celebrating India’s 78th Independence Day, 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 visualization of their carbon emissions and empowers them to decarbonize 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-kilometers, 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, a 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 to comply with BRSR and other environmental regulations, as well as companies aspiring to improve sustainability and 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, of Mahindra Logistics Ltd., said, “Logistics today is about creating value for stakeholders, customers, communities, and the planet. To mark India’s 78th Independence Day, we are celebrating ‘Freedom from emissions’ by launching the ‘Emission Analytics Report’ as a part of Edel – our green logistics ecosystem, empowering our customers to decarbonize their supply chains. At Mahindra Logistics, we are committed to contributing to India’s ambitious goal of becoming Net-Zero by 2070, building a futuristic supply chain driven by a sustainable logistics network, and integrating environmental consciousness into our actions”.
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 the supply chain, scope 3 decarbonization imposes unique challenges in the absence of the right framework, tool, and data. With the introduction of shipment-level Emission Analytics Report powered with climate-focused AI, our clients can track the carbon footprint for their shipments in real-time, access emission savings analytics, and evaluate decarb modeling. 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”.
