The Problem
Key pain points of the pharma industry
Pharmaceutical enterprises face strict regulatory compliance alongside ambitious sustainability targets, requiring precise emissions tracking and transparent reporting. Logistics providers must manage highly dynamic, time-critical transport chains with complex temperature controls.
High regulatory pressure and ambitious decarbonization goals
Pharma companies operate under stringent quality and compliance regulations, with high margins enabling significant investment in CO₂ reduction. Both logistics providers and cargo owners face pressure to report emissions precisely to meet EU and global decarbonization targets.
Fragmented transport chains with high emissions intensity
Express shipments, overnight deliveries, and direct deliveries create high emissions per shipment. Logistics providers must handle volatile, dynamic routing and multi-modal operations, while cargo owners require detailed visibility into complex transport patterns.
Complex temperature control requirements
Pharma’s strict temperature regimes, such as active or passive cooling drive high emissions intensity. Accurate differentiation and calculation of these cooling processes are essential for managing operations and reporting emissions.
Thanks to the Book & Claim approach of shipzero, we can now allocate emission reductions directly at shipment level and manage the documentation in just one system.
“We are very impressed by shipzero's seamless data connection to our internal and external systems (TMS, fleet systems, etc.), which saves us a lot of IT resources. Moreover, shipzero provides us with greater transparency on our emissions data, enabling us to identify promising reduction measures and quantify their effectiveness.”
