The energy spent holding the temperatureis missing from your report.
A GDP (Good Distribution Practice) audit and your sustainability report deadline just landed in the same quarter.
- Refrigerated transport estimated like ordinary freight
- Extra emissions from the cooling load not reflected
- Mixed air-road mode calculations left out
- Scope 3 transport lines filled with estimates
- Actual fuel of refrigerated vehicles measured by DTG
- Emissions calculated with the cooling load included
- Every mode reported under a single ISO 14083 method
- Scope 3 submitted in a form that passes verification
Here's how it fits your industry.
One set of measured data covers both your GDP audit and your ESG report deadline.
The supply chain changes when shippers demand the carbon data.
Most transport emissions come from vehicles the shipper never drives. That data only turns from estimate to measurement when the shipper asks for it as a term of business.
Draw the boundary at paid freight
Only transport you paid a freight charge for is the correct boundary for a shipper's Scope 3 report. LCS draws that boundary cleanly — no gaps, no double counting.
Classify by measurement, not estimation
Instead of average factors, we use data measured directly at the vehicle, classified precisely by transport mode and leg. A single ISO 14083 method that passes verification.
Require it of subcontractors
When a shipper requires measured data as a term of contract, the whole supply chain shifts from estimate to measurement. The request is where change begins.
Don't make the ask alone.
As your partner, LCS gives you the grounds to require data from subcontractors — and gives them the tools to respond. We build the bridge to measurement between the shipper who asks and the carrier who answers.
The questions this industry asks most.
Do pharmaceutical and bio companies have to report transport carbon?
Large pharma companies fall under CSRD and ISSB, so Scope 3 transport emissions must be reported, while GDP (Good Distribution Practice) audits govern cold-chain records. LCS measures the actual fuel of refrigerated vehicles at the vehicle with DTG at 1-second (1-Hz) resolution and calculates under ISO 14083.
Why does calculating cold-chain transport like ordinary freight under-report emissions?
In refrigerated and frozen transport, the cooling unit burns extra fuel that average factors don't reflect, so actual emissions get under-reported. DTG measures the actual fuel including the cooling load and closes that gap.
How does the paid-freight boundary apply in pharma logistics?
Only refrigerated transport you paid a freight charge for is the correct boundary for a shipper's Scope 3. LCS separates paid cold-chain legs to draw that boundary and calculates with measurement including the cooling load, so it passes verification.
How do we get cold-chain providers to report their data?
Providers respond when the shipper requires measured data as a delivery or contract term. LCS installs DTG on refrigerated vehicles to capture GDP records and carbon data together, and consolidates them into the shipper reporting.
Put the cooling load in the report, too.
