IATA, SFC join hands in advancing decarbonisation efforts

Transparency is the key to supporting decarbonisation.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has partnered with the Smart Freight Centre (SFC) to provide consistent and transparent carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions calculations for air cargo shipments.

“Our partnership with the Smart Freight Centre will help us to accelerate the development of CO2 Connect for air cargo as the most authoritative tool for carbon calculations.” IATA’s Senior Vice President for Commercial Products & Services, Frederic Leger, said.

The collaboration aims to develop the cargo component of IATA’s CO2 Connect platform which utilises primary industry data for highly accurate carbon calculations.

The partnership will focus on a common methodology in CO2 emission calculations, providing consistent and accurate data to the industry’s biggest shippers and freight forwarders in air cargo.

IATA and SFC are currently working with Kuehne+Nagel as a pilot customer for the project’s development.
