Why Begoma offers transparent climate data
Following the EU directive CSRD, the issue of climate data has become highly relevant. For us at Begoma, this is a welcome development. For several years, we have provided our customers with detailed data on the climate emissions from our transports. Here, you can read about why we took this step early on.
Every month, our customers can see their individual climate impact, compiled in a report attached to our newsletter. In this report, each customer can view a calculation of the climate emissions generated by our transports, down to the order level.
We at Begoma began offering this to our customers several years ago, but during 2024, more and more customers have shown interest in the monthly compilation. There is a natural explanation for this.
With the new EU directive CSRD, large companies are required to report the climate emissions generated by their operations—even from their subcontractors. Begoma’s reports provide all the data needed to meet this reporting requirement.
– Suddenly, this issue has become highly relevant, and many customers need this type of data to conduct their sustainability reporting. Many competitors charge for generating this data—but if you are a Begoma customer, it is included at no extra cost, says Henrik Malmberg, Managing Director of Begoma.
“Begoma as an Advisory Partner”
As of now, the requirement is that the reported data can consist of calculated emissions, but for Henrik Malmberg, it is clear that the level of the reported data will need to be significantly more detailed in the future.
– Further down the line, the regulations will certainly become stricter. Currently, no one measures the actual emissions from exhaust pipes, for example, but we will most likely find ourselves in that situation in the future. We at Begoma are determined to keep up with this development to offer the necessary climate data for our customers even in the future.
The data Begoma provides to our customers each month is not only for reporting purposes. With facts about climate emissions in front of you, it becomes easier for each customer to see which parts of the transport chain can be optimized to further reduce their climate emissions.
– We engage in a dialogue with the customer, who makes their own decisions, but we inform them about the adjustments that can be made, for example, if certain transports could be carried out by rail instead of by truck. In this respect, Begoma acts as an advisory partner, offering solutions to improve our customers’ climate impact.
In addition to data on climate emissions, each customer can also access additional information at the order level, such as when each transport was loaded and unloaded, to ensure that Begoma adheres to the promised schedule.
