On 26 May Mr Loubinoux and Dr. Volker Kefer, Board Member of Deutsche Bahn's Technology and Services, successfully launched the innovative web application EcoTransIT World at the 2010 International Transport Forum in Leipzig.
"Low transport emissions are an increasingly significant sales argument. EcoTransIT World aims to help customers to choose their means of transport and the most environment-friendly transport chain", explained Dr. Volker Kefer. The tool offers open access to forwarders, carriers and logistics service providers and gives free and reliable information on their carbon footprint in line with upcoming standards of green accounting.
Jean-Pierre Loubinoux explained that "with EcoTransIT World we can provide reliable carbon footprints of logistics chains with all transport modes on a global level. EcoTransIT World offers an important contribution to the ongoing discussions on how to measure greenhouse gas impacts of the transport sector. It provides a scientifically proved, fair and balanced methodology approved by neutral environmental institutions."
The next step is to invite interested partners to cooperate and join the "EcoTransIT World" consortium. The idea is to jointly build the sector standard for carbon foot printing and thus support reducing transport emissions and greening logistical chains.
First EcoTransIT World Stakeholder Workshop: Save the date!

The workshop is especially targeted at shippers, carriers and logistics service providers in the freight sector as well as NGOs, universities and other experts dedicated to green logistics solutions.
The participants are introduced into data and methodology of the online calculator and its features to support green accounting and green logistics activities. Jointly the requirements of the sector will be analyzed to establish a common standard of carbon foot printing and based on it next steps will be defined to create this new standard.
