📢 We heard your feedback about making this easier to read and understand.👌

A rule change just turned "going green" into a way for transport companies to WIN business. 🚚

This month the SBTi — the climate-goal rulebook used by 11,000+ companies — updated its standard. Skip the jargon; here's what it means for you:

✅ Your customers must now count the emissions of all their freight — including the loads you carry for them.** Like a shop having to show the full cost behind every product, not just the sticker price. They'll need the numbers from you, so being able to provide them keeps you on the contract.

✅ You can now turn cleaner trucks into a new income stream.** It's like selling green electricity to the grid — you can sell the verified "green" from your low-emission vehicles or fuel, even to customers whose goods travelled on a regular truck. Your investment in cleaner kit can finally pay you back.

✅ Those green credits now come with a proper receipt.** Each one gets a unique serial number, like a vehicle's VIN, so it can only be sold and counted once. That's what makes them trustworthy — and valuable.

For years, "sustainability" felt like a cost centre for transport operators. This change flips it into an opportunity: prove you're cleaner, and you win work and open a new revenue line.

CO2 Connect is built for exactly this — a carbon platform made for carriers, shippers and logistics providers that turns your emissions data into a business advantage.

Something big just happened in corporate sustainability — and it directly affects how companies account for freight.

The SBTi released its Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 this month. Here's what it means if you work in logistics, supply chain, or ESG reporting

✅ Well-to-wheel freight emissions are now mandatory to report. Every company must measure all transport-related Scope 3 emissions on a full lifecycle basis — upstream and downstream — using standards like ISO 14083 and the GLEC Framework.

✅ Book & Claim is now officially valid. The new standard recognises book-and-claim as a legitimate mechanism for delivering net-zero targets. Shippers investing in Low Emission Transportation Services (LETS) now have a clear, credible pathway — even when they can't physically control every vehicle in their supply chain.

✅ Secure registries are a compliance requirement. All emissions certificates must be tracked through transparent, auditable systems to prevent double counting. This is now a standard requirement, not a nice-to-have.

The freight sector has been building toward this moment for years. The standards exist. The methodology is there. The infrastructure is coming together.

CO2 Connect is a carbon accounting platform built for exactly this — aligned to ISO 14083, GLEC, and the Smart Freight Centre MBM Framework, with registry-grade integrity for carriers, shippers, and LSPs navigating the net-zero transition.

🌿 CO2 Connect has received the LowCarbonSG Teal Blue (Participant) Logo — awarded by UN Global Compact Network Singapore. Recognised on 28 April 2026.

We built a platform to help companies measure carbon emissions.

We held ourselves to the same standard.

CO2 Connect's Scope 1+2+3 baseline: 194.593 kgCO2e.

Our CEO Daniel Chan reflects on what it truly means to walk-the-talk in this space — and raises a question: Is tracking absolute carbon emissions enough? Or do intensity metrics like kgCO2e per revenue dollar give a more equitable picture as your organisation grows?

🤝 CO2 Connect × Singapore Logistics Association — A New Chapter for Transport Decarbonisation

We are proud to announce that CO2 Connect (CO2X) Pte Ltd has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Singapore Logistics Association (SLA) on 29 May 2026.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment: to equip Singapore's logistics sector with the tools, knowledge, and capabilities, needed to measure, manage, and reduce transport emissions — at scale.

What this collaboration covers:

📊 Carbon Measurement & Reporting
Supporting SLA members in building digital MRV capabilities aligned with international standards — including ISO 14083, the GLEC Framework, and ISO 14064-1.

🚀 Digitalisation & Innovation Workshops
Co-curating and delivering practical workshops to help logistics companies adopt digital frameworks that improve operational efficiency, business performance, and sustainability — in line with UN SDGs #8 and #13.

Why this matters:

Carbon accounting is no longer a "nice to have." It is rapidly becoming a requirement for:
✅ Winning tenders with emissions disclosure requirements
✅ Accessing green financing and sustainability-linked instruments
✅ Meeting customer and regulatory expectations on Scope 3 reporting
✅ Building long-term resilience in an increasingly carbon-conscious trade environment

CO2 Connect is Asia-Pacific's first ISO 14083 and GLEC Framework-certified dMRV platform, validated by Bureau Veritas under ISO 14064-1 — currently tracking transport units across Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. CO2 Connect overs all 8 transport modes - Road, Air, Sea, Rail, Inland Waterway, Cable Car, Pipeline, Hub Operations.

This MoU is a milestone. But what excites us more is what it will enable: tangible, measurable decarbonisation outcomes for the Singapore logistics sector, and a model that can scale across ASEAN.

We can only manage it better if we measure it. Together with SLA, more of Singapore's logistics community will now have the tools to start.

📩 Are you an SLA member? Reach out to explore how CO2 Connect can support your carbon accounting journey — implementation starts in as little as 5–10 business days.

The bigger picture 📃

Measurement is the foundation. But it points toward something larger. 📈

As Asia-Pacific builds its carbon accounting infrastructure, the logical next step is creating the mechanisms that allow verified decarbonisation to be recognised, traded, and rewarded across multimodal supply chains. Market based measures such as book and claim would be space to watch. 👀

CO2 Connect is working toward that future — and every company that starts measuring today is already part of it.

🌍 The rules of the road for transport emissions have changed — permanently.

This week's Carbon Intelligence Bulletin lands at a pivotal moment. The EU ETS is now at full coverage for shipping. CSRD Scope 3 reporting is live for large corporates.
The IMO's Net-Zero Framework is being stress-tested at MEPC 84. And Singapore is deepening its commitment to green shipping corridors and port decarbonisation.
What was once a sustainability aspiration is now a line item on freight invoices, a legal obligation in annual reports, and a procurement criterion for cargo owners selecting their logistics partners.

The question for every transport and logistics operator is no longer whether to measure emissions — it's how quickly you can produce the verified, audit-ready data your customers and regulators now require.

📖 Our latest Carbon Intelligence Bulletin breaks down the week's most significant developments across global, Asia Pacific, and Singapore markets.

Welcome to TheScope3Guys!

It is our first crack at making a video to talk about and raise awareness about the dreaded topic: "Scope 3 Emissions".

In this episode of the TheScope3Guys, we touch on what is "Scope 3 Emissions" and the challenges that businesses face when it comes to reporting Scope 3.

This is not a deep dive into the topic, but rather an introduction to the topic.

A special thanks to Alan Yeoh from Climate Asia Pte Ltd who so generously shared with us about his take on this topic.

Most logistics operators in Asia-Pacific ask the wrong question when choosing a carbon accounting tool.

They ask: "Which calculator should we use?" 🧮

The better question: Do you need a calculator — or a platform?

These are not the same thing.
A calculator gives you a number.
A platform gives you the ability to act on it. 📊

In 2026, ASEAN logistics operators who choose wrong will find themselves:
❌ Unable to respond to enterprise Scope 3 requests on demand
❌ Locked out of green financing programmes that require verified data
❌ Losing tenders to competitors who can prove their emissions record

We've published a Buyer's Guide covering 8 criteria every transport operator should evaluate before making this decision — including the questions most vendors hope you won't ask.

What's inside:
✅ Primary data vs default emission factors — why the gap matters for ASEAN fleets
✅ Why 5 transport modes isn't enough for regional operations
✅ The difference between certification and independent organisational validation
✅ Why dMRV designation is becoming a green financing prerequisite
✅ Choosing a platform built for your regional context

We cannot manage what we do not measure. 📏

But in 2026, measuring with the wrong tool is just as costly as not measuring at all.

🌍 Carbon accountability just got real. Is your supply chain ready?

Our latest Carbon Intelligence Bulletin (3 May 2026) is out — and the headlines are impossible to ignore:

🚢 EU ETS is now at 100% coverage. Every gram of CO₂ from voyages to/from EU ports must be accounted for. Methane and nitrous oxide are now in scope too. Major carriers are already passing on €7–€105 per TEU in surcharges.

⚖️ CSRD Scope 3 is auditable. If your company turns over €450M+ with 1,000+ employees, your transport chain emissions are no longer just a reporting footnote — they're a compliance obligation with teeth.

🛳️ IMO Net-Zero Framework adoption is imminent. MEPC 84 this spring will formally adopt the global fuel standard and GHG pricing mechanism covering 85% of international shipping CO₂.

🌏 Asia-Pacific is accelerating fast. Transport emissions in the region are growing twice as fast as the global average — and Singapore, Yokohama, Busan, and Shanghai are racing to build the green fuel infrastructure to match.

🇸🇬 Singapore doubles down. At Singapore Maritime Week 2026, MPA renewed the transpacific Green & Digital Shipping Corridor and committed $100M+ to maritime R&D. The message is clear: digital emissions transparency is non-negotiable.

For more details, read the bulletin here: https://www.co2connect.com/blogs/post/carbon-intelligence-bulletin-transport-chain-emissions-intelligence-3-may-2026

The companies that can measure, verify, and report transport chain emissions today will define the commercial landscape of global freight tomorrow.

CO2 Connect is the purpose-built dMRV platform for multimodal transport chain emissions accounting — ISO 14083-compliant, Scope 3-ready, and built for the complexity of real supply chains.

🌏 Green trade corridors are being built between Asia and Europe. But how do we know how green they actually are?

Our CEO Daniel Chan, joined the Hamburg-Singapore Roundtable last Friday — a timely conversation about turning cross-border collaboration into commercial success.

One insight that stood out: as Singapore deepens its Green and Digital Shipping Corridor ambitions globally, the ability to measure emissions across every transport mode and every leg of the journey is no longer optional — it’s the foundation.

You can’t credibly claim a “green corridor” without verified data behind it. 📊

This is the gap CO2 Connect was built to close.
CO2X — our ISO 14083 and GLEC Framework-certified platform — gives transport and logistics businesses a single, auditable view of their GHG emissions across all 8 transport modes. Whether the shipment moves by road, rail, sea, or air — between Singapore, Hamburg, or anywhere in between.

And beyond measurement, verified emissions data opens the door to market-based measures like Book & Claim — where businesses can actively participate in logistics decarbonisation, even when physical low-emission transport isn’t yet available on every route.

Because we cannot manage what we don’t measure. 🌱

👉 If your business operates multimodal transport across Asia-Pacific and Europe and you’re ready to quantify your emissions footprint, let’s talk.

🚢 Maritime decarbonization just crossed from voluntary to consequential.

Smart Freight Centre's 2026 outlook is unambiguous: verified emissions data is now the commercial and regulatory price of entry for vessel operators on global trade routes.

EU ETS is live. FuelEU Maritime is enforcing GHG intensity limits. The IMO's CII framework is under formal review. And shippers are now writing emissions clauses directly into freight contracts.

Here's what vessel operators are now required to prove — plainly:

📋 THE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
→ Voyage-level CO₂, methane (CH₄) & nitrous oxide (N₂O) reporting for EU ETS
→ Verified GHG intensity per voyage for FuelEU Maritime
→ CII performance documentation for IMO review
→ Primary fuel data — actual cargo carried, not assumed utilization factors
→ Port-to-port emissions breakdowns at engine and fuel level
→ Audit-ready records for freight pricing, contracts & regulatory submissions
Most vessel operators in Asia are still relying on default emission factors. That will not satisfy European customers or regulators — and the deadline has already passed.

🔧 HOW CO2 CONNECT CLOSES THE GAP

CO2 Connect is Asia-Pacific's only ISO 14083 + GLEC Framework certified dMRV platform, independently validated by Bureau Veritas to ISO 14064-1.
In partnership with vessel management system (VMS) providers, we connect the operational data your fleet already generates to a certified, audit-ready carbon accounting layer:
✅ EU ETS reporting → Bureau Veritas-validated GHG data, audit-ready
✅ Multi-GHG accounting → CO₂, CH₄ & N₂O calculated to ISO 14083 standards
✅ Primary data → Live fuel telemetry from VMS sensors, not default factors
✅ FuelEU Maritime → Verified GHG intensity per voyage, per fuel type
✅ Commercial proof → dMRV-verified data accepted by customers & regulators
✅ All 8 transport modes → Multimodal reporting for LSPs with mixed fleets

Your VMS captures the operational data. CO2 Connect turns it into certified carbon intelligence.

We cannot manage what we don't measure — and we cannot prove what we haven't verified. ⚡
