New emissions calculation methodology

Emissions reports according to the updated methodologies

Understanding your actual emissions, Kuehne+Nagel provides emissions reports and data for transport services booked with us. This data is directly available on myKN for your air, sea and road shipments.

Our emissions reporting has always aligned with the most robust and recent international carbon emission calculation standards and utilised the best available data. As such standards evolve and more detailed data becomes available, we updated our emissions calculation methodologies in line with ISO 14083:2023 and GLEC 3.0.

Starting in autumn 2024, we applied this to air and road shipments. As of February 12th, 2025, sea shipments will also follow.

Updated emissions data for sea shipments

The updated method for sea shipments is in line with ISO 14083:2023, GLEC 3.0 and the latest Clean Cargo guidelines. Additionally, we use actual historic routing data for vessels through the Automatic Identification System (AIS), reflecting the detours from the Suez Canal.

The updated numbers are reflected in the emission reports available to you via myKN, including myKN Track Shipment and myKN Analytics (Reports and Dashboards). They retroactively apply to sea shipments from January 1st, 2024.

For air and road shipments, the emissions data according to the updated methodologies is also available for shipments from January 1st, 2024. This means that you have access to ISO 14083:2023—aligned emissions data for the same period across all transport modes.

What’s in it for you?

Within a few clicks, you continue to have access to qualitative emissions data for your shipments, in line with the latest emissions calculation standards.

Where can you find the data?

Log in to your myKN account. You will find the data under myKN Track 'Shipment' and under myKN Analytics (Reports and Dashboards).

How can you embark on reducing transport emissions?

With myKN, measuring your transport emissions is easier than ever. This is the first step to embarking on your emissions reduction journey! We can help you reduce CO2e at every stage of the supply chain, reviewing your operations to propose the most suitable low-emission logistics solutions tailored to your needs.

* Please note that this is not yet available for road shipments in USA, Canada and Mexico. If you use low-emission road freight solutions (Book and Claim, HVO or electric vehicles), the emission savings need to be subtracted manually for the time being. Also temperature-controlled shipments require manual recalculations until further notice.
