Case Study

CSRD Transport Compliance for Last-Mile & Distribution Networks

Last-mile and distribution operations generate granular CSRD transport compliance data requirements — emissions per route, trip, stop and package. cadisCARBON captures and calculates emissions at the most granular level, delivering full CSRD transport compliance traceability from depot to doorstep.

About Company

Last-milecarriers and regional distribution networks operate some of the most complexlogistics footprints in the industry — multiple depots, mixed vehicle fleets,high stop density, and thousands of individual deliveries per day. Thisoperational complexity makes emissions tracking especially difficult, yet it isprecisely the level of detail that CSRD reporting now demands.

Asdistribution networks fall within the scope of the Corporate SustainabilityReporting Directive, either directly or through customers requesting Scope 3downstream data, they need a way to translate day-to-day delivery operationsinto structured, auditable emissions data — without adding manual work fordrivers, dispatchers or depot staff.

‍

The Problem

MeetingCSRD transport compliance requirements at last-mile and distribution scalemeans going far beyond fleet-level averages. Operators must be able to accountfor emissions down to the individual route, trip, stop and package — a level ofgranularity that most transport management systems were never designed tocapture.

Emissions data is tracked at the fleet or depot level, with no visibility into individual routes, stops or packages.
Delivery, routing and fuel data live in separate systems across depots, subcontractors and vehicle types.
Emissions figures are compiled manually in spreadsheets, creating delays and increasing the risk of errors.
Allocating emissions fairly between routes, customers and shipments is difficult without granular trip data.
There is no audit-ready trail connecting a package's emissions footprint back to its depot of origin.

Our Solution

cadisCARBONconnects directly to daily transport operations, automatically capturing thedata needed for CSRD transport compliance as deliveries happen — route, trip,stop and package level detail, with no extra steps for drivers or dispatchers.

The resultis full emissions traceability from depot to doorstep: auditable, granular datathat stands up to CSRD reporting requirements and gives last-mile anddistribution networks a clear, defensible view of their transport-relatedemissions.
