FEDEX Corp. has launched a new tool that gives its customers in select Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (AMEA) markets access to emissions information on their shipments within the FedEx network.
Customers can use the data from the FedEx Sustainability Insight (FSI) to help make informed decisions on their future shipping strategy in order to reduce their impact on the planet, the company said in a statement.
Created by FedEx Dataworks, the cloud-based data engine uses near real-time FedEx network data to estimate carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions.
Customers can view emissions data for individual tracking numbers as well as aggregate historical data for their accounts. Data displayed in the tool include mode of transport, service type, and country or territory for all eligible FedEx Express shipments.
FSI calculates greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) using a methodology that follows the World Resources Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol, conforms to the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework (GLEC), and includes industry standard emission factors, utilities, and transportation-specific operational metrics.
In AMEA, FSI is currently available to customers in Australia, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Bahrain, South Africa, Botswana, Egypt, India, Malawi, Namibia, Eswatini/Swaziland, Zambia, Kenya, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, and Nigeria. The remaining eligible AMEA markets will be added in the coming months.
With sustainability being a strategic priority for businesses of all kinds, FedEx said FSI is a tool that can give customers “better visibility” of emissions within their supply chains and support reporting and strategic future planning.
“Environmental stewardship and transparent sustainability reporting is now a universal business imperative. At the same time, consumers also consider sustainability in their decision-making for e-commerce purchases,” FedEx Express president of AMEA region Kawal Preet said.
