US-based ITS Logistics has launched a new Sustainability Dashboard that offers granular emissions data at both fleet and shipment levels, aiming to support companies in meeting increasingly stringent climate reporting requirements, particularly for Scope 3 emissions.
Scope 3 emissions—indirect emissions that occur throughout a company’s value chain, including transportation by third-party providers—have long presented challenges for accurate measurement and reporting. ITS Logistics’ tool seeks to bridge that data gap by using a combination of government datasets and fleet-specific information, rather than relying on industry averages.
“Companies are under pressure from regulations, customers, and investors to disclose their Scope 3 emissions,” said Josh Allen, Chief Commercial Officer at ITS Logistics. “Our dashboard incorporates the Fleet Sustainability Index, which provides accurate fleet-level emissions calculations, rather than relying on broad assumptions. This makes reporting far more defensible.”
The launch comes as regulatory scrutiny intensifies, particularly in the U.S. state of California, where the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) requires large companies to disclose full-scope greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including Scope 3.
The tool provides real-time and historical emissions insights, customisable reporting features for ESG disclosures, and benchmarking capabilities to support emissions reduction strategies.
“Through conversations with Fortune 1000 companies, we learned that Scope 3 emissions tracking is one of their biggest sustainability challenges,” said Lauren Miller, Sustainability Manager at ITS Logistics. “These companies have measurable goals to reduce emissions, but obtaining accurate, defensible data from outsourced carriers has been a black hole. Each company is experiencing challenges with data gaps, fragmented carrier networks, and regulatory uncertainty.”
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the transport sector contributes roughly 29% of the country’s total GHG emissions, highlighting the importance of logistics in any decarbonisation strategy.
ITS Logistics states that its platform enables greater visibility into its managed shipments, helping clients align with both corporate sustainability goals and emerging compliance obligations.
