Stellar and C02 emissions
Trading with India or any other country, it’s a fact that at every stage of the journey, your freight movements contribute significantly to the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
There is a global expectation that the international freight-forward industry does its part in working towards achieving reduced emmissions targets.
We are currently evaluating a number of technologies and applications that will enable Stellar customers to know precisely the amount of C02 their door-to-door shipment has created.
If you are a participant in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) or any equivalent international scheme, where emissions reporting is a requirement, it’s good to know that your freight forwarder has all the data you need.
