The Rhenus Group has announced a new strategic partnership with shipzero, a global platform specializing in emissions intelligence. This collaboration will provide Rhenus's clientele with access to a 'Book and Claim' system, designed to reduce the environmental footprint of their global logistics operations. The solution encompasses various transport modes, including air, ocean, and road, by leveraging alternative fuels and battery-electric vehicle technologies.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this partnership offers a tangible method to address Scope 3 emissions within their supply chains. The Book and Claim model allows companies to financially support the use of sustainable fuels and technologies, even if those specific fuels are not directly used in their own shipments. This can help meet corporate sustainability targets and respond to increasing customer demand for greener logistics options, potentially influencing carrier selection and routing decisions based on available decarbonization programs.
