The bpost CO2 calculator is an automated carbon report per customer and per individual parcel which is compliant to ISO 14083 and GLEC framework.

Activities

This CO2 calculator is based on the use of real data, including distance for parcel delivery, fuel type of the vehicle, and parcel weight—key elements for
GLEC and ISO 14083. It shows differences by delivery type (home or pick-up point) and vehicle (bike, diesel, or e-van), with real last mile data making the
tool unique. It offers insights into scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with clear splits for first, mid, and last mile, as well as returns. Daily updates and different views
in the dashboard allow customers to steer actions, track carbon-free deliveries, and monitor progress. With CSRD on the horizon, this validated tool by Vinçotte
sets bpost apart—earning it Amazon’s Excellence in Emissions Reporting Award (2024). The tool will be upgraded by tagging containers, enhancing also real
data use for mid mile. The CO2 calculator is free of charge for customers.

Result & Impact

Customers gain clear insight into emissions from bpost parcels. They can track bpost’s efforts in lowering emissions and customers can take action themselves. With CSRD applicable from 2026, the tool offers real value by enabling informed decisions and helping reduce carbon footprints.
