TEG, a UK carrier sourcing platform, has launched automated CO2e emissions calculations for over 3 million annual freight loads. The tool uses the UK Government's DESNZ Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors 2025 to estimate emissions per load, covering both contracted and ad-hoc freight. This helps logistics providers respond to Scope 3 reporting requirements under the UK's new Sustainability Reporting Standards, turning previously invisible subcontracted operations into structured emissions data. The platform connects more than 10,000 transport businesses and processes over 3 million loads a year. By integrating carbon data with TEG's SmartPay settlement system, operators can link emissions to operational and financial records for each load. This addresses a key blind spot in freight emissions reporting, especially for ad-hoc loads where carriers change frequently. The tool also helps reduce waste from empty running, which accounts for about 30% of haulage vehicle miles according to Department for Transport data. TEG's move reflects growing demand from large shippers and retailers for shipment-level emissions data as a procurement condition. Mid-market operators can use the tool to get ahead of these requirements, providing load-level estimates based on government methodology rather than spreadsheets. This marks a practical step toward more precise company-wide carbon reporting in the logistics sector.
