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:
CardWhat it measures
Total CO2Combined emissions across all operations
Inbound CO2Emissions from inbound logistics (supplier to DC)
Storage CO2Emissions from warehouse and storage operations
Outbound CO2Emissions from outbound distribution (DC to customer)
All values are displayed in kilograms (kg) and formatted with scale indicators (M for millions, k for thousands).
Four CO2 KPI summary cards showing Total CO2, Inbound CO2, Storage CO2, and Outbound CO2 with values in kg and scale indicators

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.
Doughnut chart showing proportional split of CO2 emissions across Inbound, Storage, and Outbound segments in distinct colors, with a hover tooltip displaying exact emission values for the selected segment

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
Line chart showing total CO2 emissions trending over monthly time periods with multiple scenario lines in different colors, allowing comparison of emission trajectories across planning scenarios

CO2 KPIs and formulas

KPIFormulaDescription
Total CO2Inbound CO2 + Storage CO2 + Outbound CO2Sum of all emission sources
Inbound CO2Aggregated from DC-level logistics dataEmissions from transporting goods to distribution centers
Storage CO2Aggregated from facility-level dataEmissions from warehousing, refrigeration, and handling
Outbound CO2Aggregated from distribution dataEmissions from delivering goods to customers

How to use the CO2 report

  1. Assess your baseline - Review total emissions across all scenarios to understand your current carbon footprint
  2. Identify hotspots - Use the doughnut chart to see which operational area contributes most to emissions
  3. Track trends - Monitor the trend chart over time to see if emissions are increasing or decreasing
  4. Compare scenarios - Switch between scenarios to see how different planning decisions impact emissions
  5. 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.
