In collaboration with Australian and overseas partners, we can assess the environmental impacts of your supply chain. Our solution includes:

1. A carbon footprint of your supply chain operations, including emissions from specific transport routes and modes, tonnage, utilization rates, backhauling/reverse logistics, manufacturing, distribution centres and other storage locations.
2.  In cold storage points, we can provide environmental monitoring to assess the energy use, temperature control, coefficient of performance (COP) and other performance parameters associated to refrigeration systems.
3. Establishment of key performance indicators, such as:
   • Energy used to operate the supply chain (including all sources)
   • Greenhouse gas emissions generated by the supply chain
   • Freight transport distances and their contribution to "Food Miles" emissions
   • Environmental impact of waste from packaging materials and food spoilage
   • Costs of operating the supply chain
4. Quantification of an environmental performance baseline
5. Estimation of the effect of hypothetical future scenarios under new supply chain strategies on the performance of the chain.

These five steps are typically aided by software that performs Life-Cycle Analysis calculations and supply chain network modelling.
We can also contribute to developing product carbon footprints with measured, realistic supply chain information.
