For too long, freight transport has been excluded from any quantitative and objective measurement of its overall eco-environmental performance.
Over the past 10 years, companies have focused mainly on carbon, in line with the well-understood principle that combating global warming is a priority.
However, CO2 and Greenhouse Gases (GHG) represent only part of the overall economic cost of all the negative externalities generated by freight transport.
Although necessary and indispensable, measuring CO2 alone does not reflect the overall environmental dimension of transport.
To be credible, a real eco-efficient transport policy today must also take into account all other nuisances, such as noise, accidents, congestion, particle emissions, soil pollution, etc.
The TK'Blue rating represents a clear commitment by the company to a positive, innovative and comprehensive approach to measuring and managing its eco-responsible transport policy.
"TK'Blue" is the first effective tool available to companies enabling them to :
- Make rational transport choices to aim for economic and environmental performance;
- Meet new regulatory and legal requirements to assess Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Europe and publish their CO2 and GHG emissions and energy audits;
- Validate the social and fiscal authorizations of their transport service providers without constraints;
- Calculate and promote the social benefits of eco-responsible choices.
This "fair and sustainable" rating is a breath of fresh air for logistics and freight.
