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.
