We\u2019re proud to have been a part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/vil.be\/en\/project\/bilog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BILOG project<\/a>, an initiative spearheaded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/vil.be\/en\/about-vil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VIL<\/a>\u00a0Flanders Innovation Cluster for Logistics, which focused on leveraging business intelligence in logistics. The project explored the use of business intelligence in logistics, with CO\u2082 reporting as a key application, developed as a proof of concept (POC) within the projects scope. Alongside key partners like TLCC, Altrea Logistics, ZF Group, and Hasselt University, this project marks an important step toward creating a more sustainable future for the logistics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Addressing the CSRD with innovative business intelligence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most significant drivers behind this initiative is the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.ec.europa.eu\/capital-markets-union-and-financial-markets\/company-reporting-and-auditing\/company-reporting\/corporate-sustainability-reporting_en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)<\/a>, a European Union regulation that mandates companies to report on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. While not all businesses must comply with every aspect of the CSRD Directive, many transportation and logistics companies are already obligated to track and report their CO\u2082 emissions under Scope 3, and provide this data to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scope 1: Direct emissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scope 2: Energy usage, to the more intricate;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scope 3: Supply chain-related emissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BILOG project\u2019s proof of concept focused on how Business Intelligence (BI) tools can help companies seamlessly track, calculate, and report on these emissions, laying the groundwork for compliant and efficient CO\u2082 reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Qargo\u2019s role in the BILOG Project: A proof of concept for the future<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-5dzaf356\">Using our T<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/platform\/transport-management-system\/\">ransport Management System<\/a> data combined with fuel consumption metrics from Transics (ZF Group), we were able to produce an emissions report based on real-world operational data. This report contributed to the development of a CO\u2082 reporting model that offers a practical template for logistics companies to adopt to meet their CSRD reporting requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-c5edp358\"><strong>Key takeaways from the project include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Data quality is paramount:<\/strong>&nbsp;Granular and accurate data is essential for CO\u2082 emissions tracking such as detailed vehicle mileage and fuel usage; which is what our TMS collects from fleet metrics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data governance is critical:<\/strong>\u00a0Proper fleet management and accurate data governance systems are non-negotiable for correct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/platform\/sustainability\/\">CO\u2082 reporting<\/a>. Accurate planning using correct vehicle measurements provides a strong foundation for calculations. Without a strong governance framework, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/platform\/sustainability\/\">sustainability<\/a> reporting becomes flawed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The GLEC framework:<\/strong>&nbsp;The project highlighted the importance of using the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework to prepare reports that align with CSRD standards. This globally recognised framework streamlines the complex task of emissions calculations for logistics operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Collaboration is key:<\/strong>&nbsp;The partnership with companies like TLCC accelerated the project&#8217;s progress, demonstrating that industry-wide collaboration is crucial for creating solutions that work for everyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meeting the challenges of CSRD emissions reporting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most challenging aspects of CSRD compliance for logistics companies is emissions reporting across the <strong>entire value chain,<\/strong>&nbsp;including direct operations, suppliers and subcontractors. The BILOG project demonstrated how Qargo can help tackling this challenge using modeled CO\u2082 calculations, based on truck type, for downstream and upstream operations; while calculating direct operations with actual fuel usage data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model we helped develop provides logistics companies with a framework for tracking and reporting emissions, not just for their own fleet, but across their entire supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.qargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BIBLOG.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BIBLOG.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BIBLOG-350x263.png 350w, https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BIBLOG-700x525.png 700w, https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BIBLOG-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BIBLOG-150x113.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preparing for a sustainable future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the logistics sector continues to adapt to regulatory changes, projects like BILOG demonstrate the critical role that technology and data-driven solutions will play in ensuring compliance and promoting sustainability. We\u2019re excited to be at the forefront of this transformation, providing the tools and expertise needed to help companies meet their sustainability goals and comply with regulations like CSRD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-zmv4b390\">Leveraging insights from the BILOG project, we\u2019ve also taken a step forward in supporting our customers with in-platform emissions calculations. With Qargo\u2019s TMS, transport businesses can now calculate CO\u2082 emissions at both the order and trip level, making sustainability reporting easier than ever. Stay tuned for all the details of this groundbreaking new feature later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-iyoop392\">Through collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to sustainable practices, we\u2019re building a future where logistics is not just efficient, but also environmentally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to learn more about how Qargo can help your company improve its sustainability reporting needs? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reach out to us today!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As environmental sustainability continues to take centre stage across industries, the logistics sector is stepping up its game.
