Scope 3 data your clients are already asking for
Every RFP from a Fortune 500 shipper now asks for emissions data. PulseCargo™ calculates CO2 per shipment, rolls it up by client and mode, and generates monthly ESG reports in PDF and Excel — automatically.
Three years ago, Scope 3 emissions questions in an RFP were optional.
Today they’re not. Large shippers are under reporting mandates. Their procurement teams require Scope 3 emissions data from logistics providers as a condition of the RFP. If you can’t provide it, you’re not on the shortlist.
PulseCargo makes this data available without any additional work from your operations team.
Per-shipment calculation. Monthly report. Zero manual work.
PulseCargo calculates CO2 emissions for every shipment using mode, distance, weight, and emission factor — aligned with ISO 14083. The result is aggregated by client, by mode, and by month. The monthly report is generated automatically.
Per-shipment input
Mode, distance, weight, and emission factor sourced from your TMS data via the CargoWise integration. No manual entry.
ISO 14083 calculation
CO2 calculated per shipment using the applicable emission factor for the transport mode. Bulk recalculation available when factors are updated.
Aggregation
Emissions aggregated by client, by mode, and by month. Year-over-year trends computed. Client-level Scope 3 breakdowns prepared.
Monthly report
PDF and Excel generated automatically each month. Available for download or delivery to the client. Your team never builds it in a spreadsheet.
What the ESG report includes.
Total emissions by month
Total CO2 tonnes for the reporting period. Year-over-year comparison. Trend line.
Emissions by mode
Air, ocean, road, and rail — broken out separately. The mode split is where most Scope 3 reduction opportunities are found.
Per-shipment intensity
Emissions intensity per shipment compared to mode benchmark. Identifies the lanes and carriers driving disproportionate emissions.
Monthly trend
12-month rolling view of emissions by mode and by client. Month-over-month change flagged. Baseline for reduction target-setting.
Client-level Scope 3 breakdown
Per-client emissions data in the format their sustainability team can drop directly into their ESG filing. Available on Enterprise tier.
PDF and Excel formats
Both formats generated automatically each month. PDF for presentation; Excel for the sustainability team’s own calculations and filing workflows.
Give clients data they need for their own reporting.
Your clients are reporting Scope 3 emissions in their annual sustainability filings. They need the data from their logistics providers — by shipment, by mode, by month — in a format their sustainability team can use directly.
The client-facing ESG report (Enterprise tier) shows each client their own emissions footprint. Not a summary that requires interpretation. A data set that meets the format requirements of CSRD, CDP, and SEC climate disclosure frameworks.
Freight forwarders have lost renewal conversations because they couldn’t produce this data. Not because of service quality. Not because of price. Because the shipper needed a number for their corporate sustainability report.
That’s a solvable problem.
Client-facing ESG report with full Scope 3 breakdown by shipment, mode, and month. PDF and Excel. Generated automatically.
See pricing →The calculation methodology your clients can defend.
ISO 14083 is the international standard for quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from freight transport. It defines the calculation methodology, the emission factors, and the reporting requirements.
PulseCargo’s CO2 calculation is aligned with ISO 14083. When your client’s sustainability team is asked how the number was calculated, the answer is: ISO 14083. That’s the answer procurement and auditors accept.
ESG reporting specifics.
What methodology does PulseCargo use to calculate CO2?
ISO 14083 — the international standard for quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from freight transport. Mode, distance, weight, and emission factor per transport segment.
Which tier includes CO2 reporting?
CO2 emissions calculation and the company-facing monthly ESG report are available from Professional and above. The client-facing ESG report (Scope 3 data per client) is an Enterprise tier feature.
What format is the ESG report in?
PDF and Excel, generated automatically each month. The Excel format is designed for the sustainability team to use directly in their CDP, CSRD, or SEC filing workflows without reformatting.
What if emission factors change?
A bulk recalculation job can be run when emission factors are updated. Historical shipment emissions can be recomputed against the new factors and the updated report regenerated.
