The carbon calculator that Seur has launched with the support of Geopost offers a unique service to companies that seek to monitor CO2E emissions of their shipments, using the scan data of each package while crossing the network. In this way it gives them the opportunity to calculate their indirect -scope greenhouse gas emissions with greater precision 3.
-This system complies with the international carbon accounting standards, in particular the Glec Framework (Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework), and has been officially accredited by Smart Freight Center, which allows you to generate data on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of transport and logistics. The Glec Framework is a worldwide recognized reference for the calculation and preparing of the carbon footprint in the transport and logistics sector.
