List any sources of emissions excluded:

*

No additional scope 3 emissions other than those in the list have been excluded. Data has been inputted where we have it, this includes: - Business travel (air and rail) for 2022 however, from 2023 we will be able to include business millage for those using own cars. -CO2e emissions from upstream of all energies consumed are included - CO2e emission from production of waste is included - CO2 emissions due to upstream freight transportation, this only includes road transport, air has been excluded as more clarification is needed from the SME climate hub on how to report international emissions.

describe the calculation methodology and comment on accuracy:

*

All data is captured annually through Calame, a software used by EcoVadis to capture our CO2e emissions. Data inputted into this software is sourced locally. Waste data is sent in from various waste suppliers, business travel is captured via Egencia (travel agent booking system). The shipment booking systems used by GEODIS have been designed so that they are able to accurately report on Carbon Footprint for all clients via our IRIS (Intelligent Realtime Information System). This is done by transmitting shipment data via EDI to Eco-Transit who in turn calculate emissions and send us the return data. Eco-transit calculates emissions using the GLEC framework which is the recognised standard under SBTi rules. This process allows clients to view or report on carbon emissions for all shipments handled by GEODIS and allows us to have meaningful conversations around supporting reductions.

Actions and plans to reduce emissions *

Scope 1 Actions

own facilities

Yes

We have committed to 100% renewable gas contracts on sites controlled by us and have associated RGGOs certificates. On sites where we have control we will investigate the option to remove the boiler as a source of hot water and install localised hot water from electric heaters. For premises that we lease, we are in discussion with landlords to convert to to 100 % renewable energy. At our head office site (LHR), discussions are in progress to install solar panelling on top of the warehouse. For our emissions produced from the back up diesel generator at our head office site (LHR), the plan is to convert to biofuel. For emissions released from air conditioning refrigerant release, the plan is to look for alternative low GWP refrigerants. Geodis will also look to convert to LED lighting at our facilities (some sites have already made the transition to LED lights and energy efficient equipment).

own vehicles

Yes

All company vehicles are changing to 100% electrical vehicles.

own processes

Yes

We will be replacing all LPG Fork Lift trucks with electric models for all warehouse sites.

scope 2 actions

purchased electricity

Yes

We intend to keep with a 100% renewable electricity contract. Geodis will also look to convert to LED lighting (some sites have already made the transition to LED lights and energy efficient equipment). At our head office site at LHR discussions are in place with the landlord to install solar panels to the warehouse roof.

purchased steam

N/A

We do not break down our electricity emissions into purchase steam.

purchased heating

N/A

We do not break down our electricity emissions into purchase heating.

purchased cooling

N/A

We do not break down our electricity emissions into purchase cooling.

scope 3 actions

supply chain related (upstream)

purchased good and services

*

Yes

The plan is to better understand this measurement requirement from SME Climate Hub as to whether it is applicable to our organisation which is a freight forwarding organisation involved in the transportation and distribution of customer goods.

capital goods

*

Yes

The plan is to establish how we can get this data, by speaking with our suppliers to see whether they can provide GEODIS with the CO2 emissions that are produced on capital goods purchased.

fuel and energy related activities

*

Yes

Geodis framework is to optimize and reduce emissions with our fleet and assets use by using low carbon solutions, electric and hybrid, solar and wind, Biofuels for road, air and sea transport, Bio -LNG and Bio-CNG**

transportation and distribution (upstream)

*

Yes

In order to reduce emissions Geodis are looking at the supply chain by restructuring, localization and nearshoring and network optimization. The plan is to ensure that transport modes are smartly used and combined, by increasing the use of rail, increase the use of short sea shipping and inland waterways and utilize multimodal optimization.

waste in operation

*

Yes

The plan is to increase recycling of waste produced during operations. To review where products in house can be re-used internally. The plan is to also continue in the digitization of processes to reduce paper consumption within our operations.

business travel

*

Yes

As of November 2023 we will be in a position to start measuring our business millage CO2e emissions by extracting data from our accounts expense system and improve on the collection of Air and rail travel data being captured. Once more data is obtained Geodis will be able to review how it can further reduce emissions produced from business travel.

employee commuting

*

No

At the moment no plans are in place to track employee commuting.

upstream leased assets

*

Yes

The plan is for fleets and assets to be shared and used to the max, by using load optimization, load consolidation and assets sharing, reduce empty moves and increase storage density and energy efficiency. Geodis are investing in cleaner and efficient technologies, efficient vehicles, high-capacity vehicles/ Duo trailers, reviewing driving behaviour and optimizing fleet operation maintenance.

customer related (downstream)

transportation and distribution (downstream)

*

Yes

Geodis systems can accurately report on Carbon Footprint for all clients via our IRIS (Intelligent Realtime Information System). This is done by transmitting shipment data via EDI to Eco-Transit who in turn calculate emissions and send us the return data. Eco-transit calculates emissions using the GLEC framework which is the recognised standard under SBTi rules. This process allows clients to view or report on carbon emissions for all shipments handled by GEODIS and also allows us to have meaningful conversations around supporting reductions. Customers are also able to reduce carbon emissions, they can achieve this by using reduced carbon intensive transport methods such as ocean over air or rail over road. GEODIS has also built into our systems the ability for clients to ‘inset’ Carbon in collaboration with GoodShipping, which effectively means sustainable fuels are used and clients are accordingly supplied with the appropriate ISC certification. Clients can choose a percentage of carbon reduction via insetting per shipment from anywhere between 5-100% and this is then reflected accordingly in their reports.

Climate Solutions (optional) *

Provide descriptions/names of your climate solutions:

*

Unable to provide a percentage of total revenue from sales of climate solutions for 2022 (such as the purchase of sustainable fuel, or opting for a reduction in carbon intensive transport methods such as ocean over air or rail over road) as data is not available for 2022. This is something that is being developed. Geodis, are having conversations with existing and new customers to assist them in reducing there CO2e emissions by choosing sustainable fuel ways in which they can reduce CO2e emissions by choosing modes of transport that produce less CO2 emissions. Climate solutions are: Internally - supply chain is being restructured, localization and nearshoring and network optimization is taking place, transport modes are to be smartly used and combined (increasing utilisation of rail, increasing the use of short sea shipping and inland waterways, using multimodal optimization). Fleets and assets are to be shared and used to max by load optimization, load consolidation and asset sharing, reducing empty moves and increasing storage density and energy efficiency. Customers able to view and report on carbon emissions for all shipments handled by GEODIS which allows us to have meaningful conversations around supporting reductions.
