Ocean Freight

Most carbon-efficient mode for long distances. A container ship emits roughly 15g CO₂ per tonne-km, compared to 500g+ for air freight.

~95% less emissions than air freight

Air Freight

Highest emissions per tonne-km, but fastest transit times. Consider for time-critical, high-value, or perishable goods only.

Highest carbon footprint per kg

Carbon Offsetting

For unavoidable emissions, purchase verified carbon credits. Support reforestation, renewable energy, and community projects worldwide.

Regulatory Requirements

The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and IMO's Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) are making carbon tracking mandatory for many businesses. Start measuring now to stay compliant and identify reduction opportunities before regulations tighten.
