Go carbon-neutral in your e-commerce logistics

40 percent of global emissions come 
from logistics.

Since 2022, Wayfindr has been leading the change as Asia’s first carbon-neutral 4PL logistics company. Plus, we’ve got the tools that make it easy for brands to calculate and offset their impact.

Story

Our sustainability story

Supply chains are responsible for the invisible emissions behind the shoes, electronics, and other products we all use. Whether you buy these items in stores or online, the supply chain is where the bulk of the environmental impact occurs.

In 2022, Wayfindr became certified carbon-neutral by purchasing carbon credits through our partnership with the governing agency South Pole. We strive to work with suppliers with similar values and eventually become carbon positive in the future.

As the first carbon-neutral 4PL in Asia, we want to lead by example and create a ripple effect in the industry. Many of us on the Wayfindr team have families, and we want to ensure the environment is stable and thriving as our kids grow up and raise their own children.

“A snowflake can cause an avalanche, and we’re taking that approach to our sustainability efforts. Even though we’re not the biggest company in the world, at least we’re doing something about it.”

How Does It Work?

slider-0

Sustainable partners

We look for suppliers and partners that set emissions targets and strive toward more sustainable operations.

slider-1

Tracking sources of emissions

We audit our partners and subcontractors each month to gather data related to electricity use in warehouses, fuel use in delivery vehicles, and employee commutes.

slider-2

Calculating emissions

We send the data from our partner network to the team at South Pole, who uses it to calculate total carbon emissions associated with our operations.

slider-3

Offsetting emissions

We purchase carbon credits from South Pole through a variety of projects to offset the amount of emissions we are responsible for.

Impact

Our Carbon Impact

We collect the necessary data from our third-party subcontractors and send it to our partner, South Pole, to determine how many tons of carbon emissions our company’s operations are responsible for. We then purchase enough carbon credits to offset those emissions, making our business certified carbon-neutral.

We will continue to offset our emissions each year as South Pole calculates our total emissions based on the data we collect. We aim to eventually become carbon positive in the future. Wayfindr strives to work with more suppliers working toward renewable energy for warehouses, sustainable packaging, and efficient warehouse operations.

Benefit

How Does Carbon Neutrality Benefit Your Brand?

Most of your customers want to support brands that take climate action seriously. By partnering with Wayfindr, you can confidently tell your customers that every order they place arrives carbon-neutral, aligning your brand with their values and fostering stronger loyalty.

Projects

Carbon offsetting projects

Wayfindr currently supports 4 projects that offset our emissions around the world. One of the most tangible ways to offset carbon emissions is by planting trees to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. South Pole is an expert in carbon credits and has more than 800 active natural, discovery, and technological climate action projects around the world.

When considering projects to reduce emissions and improve local sustainability, we look for projects in the countries where Wayfindr, our customers, and our partners emit the most carbon.

  • Hydropower

    Son La province, Vietnam

    The Nam Chim Hydro Power Project increases access to electricity from renewable sources. This cuts emissions and supports the local community through training and job creation.

    Number of carbon credits purchased in 2022: 2,550

  • Afforestation

    Xichuan province, China

    The Chudu Afforestation Project pays local villagers to plant native trees on acres of barren land that were previously desertified. As the trees grow, they absorb carbon from the atmosphere and create a forest to support other native plants and animals.

    Number of carbon credits purchased in 2022: 100

  • Wind power

    Changbin and Taichung areas, Taiwan

    Along the East and West coasts of Taiwan, the Taiwan InfraVest Changbin and Taichung Wind project harnesses the power of coastal wind to generate renewable energy. This project also provides education and guided tours about wind farms, climate change, and pollution.

    Number of carbon credits purchased in 2022: 340

  • Solar power

    Ninh Thuan province, Vietnam

    The My Son Solar project installs solar panels in this sunny province, displacing electricity created using fossil fuels. This solar energy plant boosts local economies by hiring local workers and paying them liveable wages.Number of carbon credits purchased in 2022: 340

FAQs

What are carbon emissions and greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are any gases that contribute to climate change through the effect of global warming (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and more). As more of these gases are released, the atmosphere traps more heat from the sun every year. This is causing the climate to change. GHGs and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are often used interchangeably with carbon emissions when talking about the climate.
