Most of your Scope 3 logistics emissions come from transport you outsourced. But that truck does not carry your freight alone. Take the whole footprint and you over-count; cut it arbitrarily and you have no basis — neither passes verification.
The crux is allocation. To split one trip’s emissions across shippers you need each cargo’s weight and distance — its ton-km. If that value lives only in the carrier’s field and never reaches you, your share cannot be calculated.
LCS Cloud takes the carrier’s measured activity data and allocates it by ton-km. It splits the shares of multiple shippers on the same trip without double counting, and seals each allocation with a record_hash so you can trace “why this number.”
The result is your share of Scope 3 Category 4/9 emissions that passes verification. Because it is an allocation of measured activity data — not an arbitrary estimate — you can present a basis under audit and supply-chain due diligence.
Frequently asked
Emissions scale with how heavy a load traveled how far. Ton-km reflects that physical quantity directly, giving a clearer basis than proxies like revenue or volume.
That break is exactly where this scenario starts. We connect the carrier-side DTG measurement to Cloud collection so the data reaches the shipper.
