Accurate carbon emissions data from logistics can improve your Coolset emission report. Leading logistic suppliers now offer tools to calculate carbon emissions based on specific parameters, including the leg type, transport mode, and country of operation within a given year. This detailed information allows for a more precise assessment of your company's environmental impact, ensuring that sustainability reports reflect true emissions rather than estimated values.
Overwriting expenses with exact emissions data
To further refine sustainability reporting and accounting practices, Coolset has introduced a system where exact carbon emissions data can replace estimated logistic expenses. For example, if you use services from a logistic supplier such as DPD, providing Coolset with exact emissions data enables us to overwrite the expense transactions. This approach prevents the issue of double counting and enhances the overall accuracy of your sustainability report.
Understanding WTW vs TTW emissions
The carbon calculator reports emissions in two categories: "Well-to-Wheel" (WTW) and "Tank-to-Wheel" (TTW). WTW emissions include the entire lifecycle of fuel, from extraction and production to its final use in vehicle operation. In contrast, TTW emissions account for the carbon released during the actual combustion of fuel in the vehicle's engine. At Coolset we use WTW in our calculations.
