Collaboration is essential — but without data, we can’t build trust, transparency, or progress. This message was at the heart of the conversation as Jessica Öhrblad, Logivity CEO, joined a cross-industry panel at The Climate Transformation Summit (#CTS2025) on June 4, 2025, discussing the critical role of transport in enabling Scope 3 decarbonization.
Transportation: a blind spot in Scope 3 strategies
Transportation is one of the most overlooked levers in the journey toward decarbonization. It’s embedded in every supply chain, touches every industry, and yet remains a blind spot for many companies working to reduce their Scope 3 emissions.
In fact, transport accounts for around 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions across value chains. And demand for freight is expected to double by 2050. Still, transportation is often scoped out of sustainability efforts altogether. Why?
The complexity behind the challenge
Unlike many emissions sources, transport is deeply fragmented. A single shipment may involve multiple subcontractors, multimodal routes, or indirect paths — not to mention varying standards in data quality, digital tools, and reporting.
Scope 3 transport emissions are shared across a complex web of actors. That makes it difficult not only to track where goods are, but also to understand the environmental impact of moving them.
What’s more, many stakeholders — especially transport buyers — treat logistics as a downstream consequence of other business decisions. The result? Limited control, inconsistent data, and missed opportunities for optimization.
The untapped potential of data
At Logivity, we believe data is the key to transforming transport from a challenge into a business advantage.
When companies gain access to granular, trustworthy data — on cost, service level, and emissions — they can begin to measure, manage, and improve their logistics in a meaningful way. These insights empower better prioritization, more informed decisions, and alignment with both business and climate goals.
Critically, shared data enables collaboration across players — and opens the door to new business models, including smarter routing, dynamic planning, and increased capacity utilization. Consider this: today, trucks in Europe still run only about 50% full. Every single percentage point of improvement matters — not just for cost efficiency, but for emissions reductions at scale.
A strategic lever for change
For companies serious about sustainability, transportation should no longer be treated as a back-end function. It’s time to recognize logistics as a strategic lever for decarbonization — and data as the enabler that makes it possible.
At Logivity, we’re building the tools, the trust, and the transparency to make that shift real.
