More complex legal sustainability requirements in the transport and logistics sector: Cargonexx and WAVES offer a pioneering solution

In a fast-moving industry such as logistics, meeting complex legal requirements on a daily basis is no easy task. Thanks to the collaboration between Cargonexx and WAVES is light at the end of the tunnel. The two industry leaders have entered into a strategic partnership to support users of the Cargonexx Transport Management Platform and ensure that they are prepared for tomorrow's regulatory challenges.

Comply with regulations, create transparency, make sustainability manageable

With the introduction of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) in 2023 and the imminent entry into force of the Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) across Europe, companies, in particular SMEs and transport companies, have more things at stake than ever before. Transparency is the order of the day. The focus is on meeting these disclosure requirements vis-à-vis customers.

In this complex environment, Cargonexx and WAVES play a key role by focusing on sustainability management and digitization. Their mission is clear: to provide companies with the tools they need to meet legal requirements and obligations while keeping an eye on their core business. With a view to the upcoming Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the EU taxonomy in the 2024 reporting cycle, the bar for reporting standards is being raised. Companies will need to cover a wide range of indicators, from climate change to consumers and end users.

A holistic approach to a complex challenge

The strategic partnership between Cargonexx and WAVES is not just about providing a solution to comply with the new regulations. Instead, a comprehensive set of tools, services and expert advice should be provided that also offers an in-depth analysis of the entire supply chain at the level of shipments, customers and fleets.

Reliable precision with WAVES: Certified trust

By using the WAVES Sustainability Management Platform (SMP), sustainability management is taking on a new role in the company. In addition to the traditionally considered key figures such as transport costs and transit time, the forecast CO can now₂value is included. This transparency offers a unique, new perspective and thus creates a competitive advantage. Companies can make decisions based on factors such as price, speed, and environmental impact.

This approach adheres to strict industry standards such as those set out by the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) and the methods set out in EN 16258 and ISO 14083. In addition, companies can opt for TÜV-certified corporate carbon footprint calculations based on scopes 1-3 of the GHG Protocol at site level.

Transforming logistics processes with Cargonexx & WAVES

The Cargonexx Transport Management Platform acts as a catalyst for the transition to data-driven logistics. Real-time data exchange promotes seamless automation, well-founded decisions, and increased collaboration throughout the logistics process. The platform centralizes information and thus enables transparent decisions. The integration of plug-and-play solutions such as WAVES SMP bridges the gap between digital efforts and real implementation.

The results of the partnerships speak for themselves: A collaborative logistics approach could help CO₂-Reduce emissions by up to 35% and thus dwarf traditional logistics processes.

Looking at the digital and sustainable future together

For Cargonexx, this partnership is not just an independent project, but the latest contribution to a growing platform ecosystem. Thanks to the cooperation between the two, the logistics sector is taking steps into a new era.

Manage with Cargonexx and WAVES sustainable logistics processes, taking into account all regulatory requirements. As cooperation partners, they encourage companies to join this transformative journey, gain competitive advantages and lead the industry together towards a greener future.
