The Emissions dashboard shows the greenhouse gas emissions of your delivered shipments, expressed as CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e). It helps you answer three questions:
How much do we emit? Total CO₂e and how it changes month by month.
How efficiently do we ship? CO₂e per tonne-kilometre, which makes periods and lanes comparable regardless of volume.
Where do the emissions come from? By transport mode and by lane.
Which shipments are included
The dashboard includes delivered shipments that have emissions data. Shipments that are still on the way, cancelled, or have no emissions calculated are not counted. The subtitles under the card and chart titles always say which shipments a figure covers.
The header: filters, period and data freshness
Filters
The filters at the top right apply to the whole page:
Site: your sites in vChain ONE.
Carrier: the carrier of the shipment.
Transport mode: for example air, road, express or ocean.
To use a filter:
Click it to open the list.
Type in Search to find a value quickly.
Tick one or more values.
All means no filter is applied.
Period
The Period card sets the time window, for example “In the last 12 months”. Click it to choose another window: a number and a unit (days, weeks, months, years), counted back from today.
Data as of
Data as of shows when your data was last updated. Data is updated several times a day during working hours.
Key figures
Emissions (kg CO₂e): the total CO₂e of the shipments in the period.
CO₂e intensity (kg/tkm): kg CO₂e per tonne-kilometre, the emissions of moving one tonne over one kilometre. It is weighted by tonne-km, so heavy and long shipments count more than small ones. This is the best figure for comparing efficiency, because it does not grow just because you ship more.
Shipments: the number of delivered shipments with emissions data in the period.
The comparison line
The line under each number compares the period with the average of the two previous periods of the same length. For example, “▲ 15.9% vs avg prev. 24 months” with a 12-month period means 15.9% more than the average of the two 12-month periods before it.
Green means better: lower emissions, lower intensity.
Red means worse: higher emissions or higher intensity.
More shipments are shown in green.
Higher emissions are not always bad news. If you ship more, emissions rise too. Look at CO₂e intensity: if it stays flat or falls while emissions rise, you are shipping more but just as efficiently.
Charts
Emissions by month (kg CO₂e)
The total CO₂e per month. Hover over a month to see the change against the same month last year. The current month is still in progress, so its bar is lower until the month is complete.
CO₂e intensity by month (kg CO₂e per tonne-km)
How efficiently you shipped each month. The text under the title gives the average for the period and the lowest and highest month. The line rises when a larger share of your volume goes by a more carbon-intensive mode, usually air or express.
CO₂e intensity by transport mode (kg/tkm)
The intensity of each transport mode you use, highest first. Air and express are typically 10 to 30 times more carbon-intensive per tonne-km than road, rail or ocean.
Emissions by transport mode (kg CO₂e)
The total CO₂e per transport mode. The text under the title gives the share of the largest mode, for example “AIR = 61% of the total”.
Emissions by lane
Your lanes (from country – to country), with the most CO₂e first:
Distance group: how long the lane is.
Shipments and Total weight (kg): your volume on the lane.
Emissions (kg) and Intensity (kg/tkm): the lane’s CO₂e and its efficiency.
Scroll inside the table to see more lanes. Click a column header to sort by it.
Click to explore
Every chart on the page is linked:
Click a bar, a point or a table row to filter the rest of the page to it. In the example, clicking 2026 Aug updates the cards and the other charts to August.
In bar charts, the dark part shows the selection and the light part the total, so you see how the selection compares with the whole.
To select several items, hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) and click.
To clear the selection, click the selected item again or click an empty area of the chart.
While something is selected, the comparison line on the cards compares the selection with the two previous periods of the same length. For one month, that is the average of the two months before it.
Tips
Hover over any bar, point or row to see exact values.
Large numbers are shortened: K = thousand, M = million.
To see what drives your emissions, sort the lane table by Emissions and check the Intensity column. A lane with high emissions and high intensity is usually an air lane where another mode might be an option.
Frequently asked questions
Why don’t all my shipments appear here?
Only delivered shipments with emissions data are included. Shipments still on the way appear once they are delivered. A small share of shipments may have no emissions data, for example when weight or distance is missing.
Why did my emissions go up?
Check two things:
Shipments: did you ship more?
CO₂e intensity: did a larger share go by air or express?
The charts by transport mode and by month show which one it was.
How are the emissions calculated?
Per shipment, from the transport mode, the carrier service, the weight and the distance. Emissions are expressed as CO₂e, which includes CO₂ and other greenhouse gases converted to the same warming effect.
How often is the data updated?
Several times a day during working hours. The time of the last update is always shown in Data as of.
