Agreement on carbon emissions

Agreement has been
reached in New York
on standard guidelines
for calculating
consignment-level
carbon emissions from
logistics and shipping
operations.
The Consignment-
Level Carbon Reporting
Guidelines, developed
by the World Economic
Forum’s Logistics &
Transport Industry
Group with global
management consulting
company Accenture,
will help the industry
inform consumers
and businesses about
the carbon impact of
product transport.
A recent Accenture
survey found that 90%
of consumers would
be willing to switch to
a new product if it
was certified as
minimising impact
on climate change.
