ADAPT, a silicon valley based company using Data & AI in transforming the mobility industry, and Equilibrium World, a Singapore HQ company helping companies become climate leaders through AI and automation, have developed a software solution that enables a company’s entire freight operations, including every transport shipment, to be wholly carbon neutral. ADAPT and Equilibrium have achieved this by integrating Equilibrium’s carbon measurement and offset technology with ADAPT’s smart mobility data platform. Logistics companies can seamlessly connect their data, calculate the carbon footprint of every service and purchase verified carbon credits to offset these emissions – plus manage their own company wide carbon footprint and targets.

«Most logistic companies want to offer carbon neutral freight options to their customers, but it’s expensive and complex to develop the technology to do so. The powerful combination of Adapt’s smart mobility data platform, and Equilibrium’s climate automation software, delivers a platform that enables all logistics companies to make a positive impact on our planet,» explained Frank Meehan, Co-founder of Equilibrium.

With their solution, logistics companies can meet demand from customers for carbon emission data for their shipments, plus making those shipments carbon neutral if the customer requires it. They forecast that 2021 will be the year where customer, stakeholder and end-user sentiment for action on climate change will intensify, and now the logistics industry has a carbon neutral solution to offer to customers looking to balance the carbon footprint of their freight.
