The need for emissions reductions in logistics has changed shipper decision-making criteria. Before, they wanted the fastest and quickest freight; now, they want the fastest, quickest, and greenest freight. Yet, freight forwarders lack emission expertise. Until now.

Lune’s new emissions reduction recommendations make it easy to identify, advise, and explain greener options to shippers that reduce their logistics emissions. No sustainability degree required.

Freight forwarders who help their customers reach their sustainability goals provide more value, grow revenue, and reduce churn.

Why do shippers want to reduce logistics emissions?

Shippers have woken up to the potential cost savings of reducing their emissions. Companies cutting their scope 3 emissions (which includes logistics emissions) have saved $13.6 billion in costs, while helping deliver 43 million metric tons of greenhouse gas savings.

They’re also under pressure from consumers to offer greener products and services, and investors to transition smoothly to a low carbon economy.

Shippers know they want to reduce their emissions, and they’re turning to freight forwarders for help. Helping your customers make greener decisions is no longer a luxury — but a requirement.

What are Lune’s ocean freight emissions reduction recommendations?

Green logistics is a very complex subject. Fleets vary widely in vessel age, size, and fuel efficiency. And even carriers have varying levels of green commitments.

However, freight-forwarders don’t have in-house sustainability expertise to collect and process this data. This is where Lune comes in.

Lune’s maritime emissions reduction recommendations make it easy for freight forwarders to:

• Identify greener routes and trade lanes
• Discover maritime emission hotspots
• Evaluate more sustainable carriers

These insights are powered by Lune’s emissions intelligence. Its methodology is anchored in the industry-leading GLEC Framework, ensuring actionable, accurate, and reliable recommendations.

Plus, Lune’s commitment to transparency means these insights are fully auditable. This means freight forwarder sales teams can easily explain the recommendations to customers and prospects.
