Cargo Start, the digital service provider based in Italy, has signed an agreement for the interfacing of its airport-to-airport tracking solution StarTracking with the CO2-emission calculator developed and operated by Switzerland-based CarbonCare.

Users of StarTracking will be able to benefit from special conditions to access CarbonCare’s solution for the certified calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by their air cargo shipments.

The subscription to this innovative service enables freight forwarders to visualize the carbon footprint of every single shipment on airport-to-airport level, directly on the StarTracking platform.

Calculations related to the entire shipping process, on door-to-door level, are accessible with just one click via the CarbonCare platform.

CarbonCare also provides detailed reporting and data archiving functions, that allow monitoring the performance and planning the necessary measures to reduce the environmental impact.

CarbonCare allows choosing among a variety of compensation projects via the Swiss-based organization MyClimate.

“When it comes to the future of logistics, investing in technological innovation and sustainability are two sides of the same coin,” says Emanuele Vurchio, general manager of Cargo Start.

“With our solutions, we commit to improving transparency and visibility in the air cargo industry and the agreement with CarbonCare allows us to meet our customers’ increasing need for a more reliable monitoring of their carbon footprint.”

Peter Somaglia, co-founder of CarbonCare says: “We are confident that Cargo Start’s strong focus on innovation can further support CarbonCare in raising awareness when it comes to the transparency of emissions and in having a significant and long-lasting impact to fight climate changes.”
