With our award-winning connectivity platform, RedwoodConnect™, you gain instant access to your total freight emissions footprint and can analyze data over time to oversee and report your progress.
Redwood is working with Cloverly, an API-first carbon management solution that calculates carbon emissions and offset the impacts as they occur. Cloverly helped us formulate a high-quality carbon offset program that aligns with Redwood’s organizational goals, and together takes our customers further on their sustainability journey.
Cloverly’s API calculates, in real-time, the quantity of carbon emissions that a particular activity like shipping materials to a factory or delivering an online purchase creates. It then displays the price of the matched offset instrument that will make up for the emissions of this particular transaction. You can use these results to purchase carbon credits to reduce, avoid, or sequester the same amount of carbon, making the activity carbon neutral and generate a publicly accessible certificate authenticating the purchase.
All offsets are registered and tracked by generally accepted and reputable organizations in the voluntary carbon markets and verified by third parties. Gold Standard, the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the American Carbon Registry (ACR), and other internationally recognized organizations ensure the quality, accuracy, and integrity of the offsets.
All shippers can utilize Redwood Hyperion and Redwood Eco Advisory. We built our sustainability solution to be a flexible resource for all our customers, no matter their size, location, or where they are on their sustainability journey.
Redwood Hyperion automates detailed load-by-load emissions visibility, provides supply chain metrics & analytics, and supports carbon neutral initiatives by facilitating access to purchasing carbon credits and removals toward verified projects.
For the past 10 years, our Managed Services team has been reducing freight emissions and costs for our customers. Redwood Eco Advisory offers network studies, guidance, and solutions to help you make the best decisions to reduce spend while obtaining emissions reductions. We do this with a combination of leading-edge technology and decade of expertise in network optimization, modal optimization, empty mile reduction, and more.
Calculating shipment emissions relies on accurate data. Powered by our integration platform RedwoodConnect™, Redwood Hyperion validates for data accuracy, utilizing reliable data and best-in-class standards to ensure we’re providing accurate emissions estimates. We calculate estimates taking guidance by GHG Protocol and are working towards certification with the GLEC framework.
Carbon offsets and removals are mechanisms to compensate for carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions by helping reduce or remove carbon in a different location. While reductions are key to global climate initiatives, what can’t be reduced can be offset as part of a net-zero emissions strategy. Offsetting your carbon footprint is a responsible action you can take to protect the planet, its people, and your brand while we work on long-term emission reduction.
A carbon credit is a transferable instrument that denotes an equivalent emission reduction of one metric ton of CO2. In other words, think of it as the currency for carbon offsets and removals. It is certified by governments or through independent bodies which ensure that the right amount of carbon is being compensated.
Carbon credits or offsets are primarily classified into removal or avoidance credits. Our partner, Cloverly, has a wide portfolio of offsets comprising of a variety of methodologies from nature-based credits to landfill gas capture and typically include co-benefits to local communities.
The cost of offsetting varies based on project size, scale, timeline, and more. Redwood will work with you to create a custom, flexible plan to make offsetting an accessible option, no matter your company size or budget.
All offsets that are publicly available are registered and tracked by generally accepted and reputable organizations in the voluntary carbon markets and verified by third parties. Gold Standard, the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the American Carbon Registry (ACR), and other internationally recognized organizations ensure the quality, accuracy, and integrity of the offsets.
Redwood Hyperion takes guidance from the universally accepted GHG protocol to calculate carbon emissions.
