NEWARK, N.J., April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GoComet, a leading supply chain visibility platform, today announced the launch of its GoSchedules emissions tracking component, an addition to the company's Smart Schedules module, to support logistics planning teams with climate goals. GoSchedules enables users to maintain their commitment to sustainability by finding ocean schedules that meet delivery timelines over their trade route; providing visibility on projected emissions for each schedule; and uncovering green carriers on their routes to best suit their logistics requirements.

Key Points:

We've observed a delta of around 40% in terms of emissions between different carriers on the same route.
This data can help a business cut emissions per move by almost half.
"Freight transportation generates 8 percent of global CO2 emission and as much as 11 percent if logistics sites are also considered," according to the Smart Freight Centre .
Therefore, procurement managers are limited in their ability to compare carriers and identify alternatives that can best meet their needs.
