CO2 calculator
Manage your carbon footprint to develop eco-responsible logistics with Colissimo's CO2 calculator.
In the ever-changing world of logistics, reducing environmental impact has become a major concern for companies, including you.
The growing demand for online deliveries has led to a significant increase in CO2 emissions linked to parcel transport. That's where we come in. Both in the way we deliver the parcels you entrust to us, and by offering you an increasingly powerful tool: the CO2 calculator.
The CO2 emissions Calculator: an asset for your eco-responsible logistics
To reduce your carbon footprint, you need to know what it is!
That's why, since 2013, we've been measuring and monitoring all the emissions generated by our activities, using indicators derived from our extra-financial reporting, validated each year by the statutory auditors, and from an ISO 14040 lifecycle analysis carried out by an external firm, Ecoact.
This was the basis for the Colissimo CO2 calculator, which enables you to find out exactly what your carbon footprint is in terms of delivery.
It uses a multitude of data available at each stage of delivery to calculate CO2 emissions per parcel, per delivery mode, per type of vehicle used or even per specific route. It even takes into account the weight/volume ratio of your parcels.
For more detailed information, please consult our methodological calculation guide.
What's new in the CO2 Calculator?
In 2024, the CO2 Calculator continued to evolve:
- Its calculation method is now accredited by the Smart Freight Centre (SFC), complies with the GLEC (Global Logistics Emissions Council) framework and is based on the ISO 14083 environmental standard.
- An improved visual and intuitive interface, with new indicators to refine your analysis (dynamic filters and enriched data).
What does the CO2 calculator do for your company? Why is it so important?
More and more countries, including France, are implementing measures to reduce CO2 emissions in the fight against climate change. E-merchants can also do their bit to contribute to the collective effort. The CO2 emissions calculator helps you to do so by providing precise data on your emissions by month or by year. You can even download your annual CO2 certificate and send it to extra-financial organizations to justify your action.
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their online purchases. By using a CO2 emissions calculator, you can demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and eco-responsibility. This can reinforce your brand image and attract a more environmentally conscious clientele, by highlighting the annual evolution of your emissions via dedicated communication or directly on your site. Thanks to a more precise calculation method, these data will faithfully reflect the reality of your traffic, reinforcing transparency with your customers.
And to accompany this change, you can encourage your customers e-buyers to become involved in their own commitment by choosing more environmentally-friendly deliveries directly from your order tunnel. We've got a solution for that too: the Colissimo Ecological Score, and La Poste's Ecological Score calculator to be more precise.
You're in the driver's seat to observe, analyze and play an active role in creating more sustainable logistics for the future.
