At Blue Water, they focus on creating customer solutions that enable minimization of carbon footprint from transport and logistics provided by them.
“We aim to be our customers’ supplier and partner of choice. This includes offering and advising on solutions improving the sustainability and efficiency of the supply chain. Therefore, we are always searching for the best available solutions allowing CO2 reduction and matching our customers’ needs,” says Per Jakobsen, Business Development Manager, Sustainable Solutions.
More sustainable alternatives
Now, Blue Water can offer the customers a solution to replace fossil fuels from their transport with more sustainable alternatives through fuel switch in another supply chain. The fuel switch can be applied to all modes of transport.
The solution is offered through the global supplier within this field, GoodShipping, who executes the actual fuel switch equalling the amount of CO2 that the customer wants to reduce. GoodShipping also issues a certificate verifying the customer’s purchase of alternative and greener fuels.
Fair trade projects
The CO2 emissions from the customer’s transport is calculated by Blue Water
Carbon offsetting is another solution that they can now offer. This means that their customers can compensate for a specified amount of CO2 emissions from their supply chain by buying into environmental projects through Gold Standard. Projects include planting trees, solar and wind farm constriction as well as fair trade projects in developing countries.
The CO2 emissions from the customer’s transport is calculated by Blue Water, following which Gold Standard on behalf of the customer invests in climate projects corresponding to the amount of CO2 to be compensated. Gold Standard provides the customer with a certificate verifying the carbon credit purchase.
Other greener solutions
They already offer a set of transport solutions designed to reduce CO2 emissions. These include their CO2 calculator, EcoTransit, that provides customers with CO2 data reporting and valuable insights into the carbon footprint from services provided by them.
They also offer supply chain focusing on efficiency, utilization of load compartment and climate-smart solutions with lower CO2 impact.
