Building Sustainable Logistics with FourKites: Tools and Solutions for ESG Goals

Track Emissions and Make Improvements With Integrated Tools

FourKites provides tools that allow teams to collaborate seamlessly and access freight emissions data to progress towards ESG goals. The Sustainability Hub offers customizable dashboards and reports to show total estimated emissions from FourKites-tracked freight. Users can deep dive into emissions by mode, track changes over time, and compare to industry benchmarks. Additionally, the platform allows users to export emissions data in a ready-to-submit format for the EPA's SmartWay certification program with ease.

Accurately Calculate Shipment-level Emissions

With FourKites, users can accurately calculate carbon emissions for each shipment while incorporating shipment weight into the equation. This ensures precise Scope 3 emissions estimates across all modes, including less-than-truckload and air shipments. By having accurate emissions estimates, teams can make informed decisions regarding transportation modes, considering the environmental impact of each choice.

Sustainability Dashboard for Supply Chain Insights

The Sustainability Dashboard by FourKites enables users to identify the primary sources of freight-related emissions in their supply chain. This tool allows for ongoing assessment and validation of sustainability efforts. By combining the Sustainability Dashboard with other visibility tools like Network Visibility, users gain valuable insights into their supply chain, helping them make more informed decisions.

Reducing Truck Emissions with Dynamic Yard Management

Efficiency breeds sustainability, and FourKites' Dynamic Yard Management System (YMS) ensures efficiency by optimizing schedules to reduce idle time significantly. A study showed that Dynamic Yard users emitted 20% fewer carbon emissions compared to non-users due to a decrease in truck idle time. This reduction in emissions showcases the impact of advanced yard management systems on supply chain sustainability.
