The Carbon module (CO2 Report) helps you track and analyze the environmental impact of your supply chain operations. Monitor emissions across three key areas and identify opportunities to reduce your carbon footprint.
What you’ll see
KPI summary cards
Four cards at the top of the page showing your emissions at a glance:
| Card | What it measures |
|---|
| Total CO2 | Combined emissions across all operations |
| Inbound CO2 | Emissions from inbound logistics (supplier to DC) |
| Storage CO2 | Emissions from warehouse and storage operations |
| Outbound CO2 | Emissions from outbound distribution (DC to customer) |
All values are displayed in kilograms (kg) and formatted with scale indicators (M for millions, k for thousands).
Emissions breakdown chart
A doughnut chart showing the proportional split of emissions across inbound, storage, and outbound operations. Hover over segments to see exact values.
Emissions trend chart
A line chart showing how total emissions evolve over time. Use this to:
- Spot seasonal patterns in emissions
- Track the impact of supply chain changes on your carbon footprint
- Compare emissions across scenarios
| KPI | Formula | Description |
|---|
| Total CO2 | Inbound CO2 + Storage CO2 + Outbound CO2 | Sum of all emission sources |
| Inbound CO2 | Aggregated from DC-level logistics data | Emissions from transporting goods to distribution centers |
| Storage CO2 | Aggregated from facility-level data | Emissions from warehousing, refrigeration, and handling |
| Outbound CO2 | Aggregated from distribution data | Emissions from delivering goods to customers |
How to use the CO2 report
- Assess your baseline - Review total emissions across all scenarios to understand your current carbon footprint
- Identify hotspots - Use the doughnut chart to see which operational area contributes most to emissions
- Track trends - Monitor the trend chart over time to see if emissions are increasing or decreasing
- Compare scenarios - Switch between scenarios to see how different planning decisions impact emissions
- Set targets - Use the data to inform carbon reduction goals and track progress
Combine carbon insights with financial data from the Business Explorer to find the optimal balance between cost efficiency and environmental impact.
Emissions by scenario
Each planning scenario generates its own set of CO2 metrics based on the supply chain simulation results. This means you can directly compare the carbon impact of different planning decisions:
- Scenario A with standard shipping might show higher outbound CO2
- Scenario B with consolidated shipments might show lower outbound but higher storage CO2
Use scenario comparison to find the configuration that minimizes your overall environmental impact.
