3. PROBLEM
ChemicalCo. wanted to understand and baseline its current emissions
in order to create an internal target. It wanted to utilize a methodology
accepted in the EU so to apply enterprise-wide for all future
calculations. To-do- Method for calculating emissions in all modes of
transport in outbound logistics, emissions calculated per geography.

4. APPROACH – PHASE I
Understand the Emission Framework
Calculation methodology in the emission framework for all
transportation modes (Road, Rail, Maritime and Intermodal) was
outlined, including: A calculation approach using CO2 intensity factor.
Specific criteria in transportation to choose the default intensity factors.

5. Interviews with ChemicalCo.’s managers of all transportation
modes were arranged to understand the variances in each mode.
Emission calculations for each transportation mode were fine-tuned
based on the feedback received from ChemicalCo.’s personnel.
APPROACH – PHASE II
Calculate emissions for each mode of transportation

6. APPROACH – PHASE III
Summarize the calculation results
Instructions to calculate: Emission results in 2019 by transportation
mode, ship-to destinations and product lines. Total emissions were
visualized and presented with an instruction manual. An Excel template
presented the calculation based on ChemicalCo.’s data.

7. RESULT
Sprintly team was able to create a standard approach for calculating
CO2 emissions in outbound logistics. The standard approach aligned
with the emission framework identified, this enabled ChemicalCo. to
repeat the calculations as well as implement it company-wide.
