The fastest path to net-zero
is already leaving your dock.

Transportation is the largest single Scope 3 category for most CPG manufacturers — and the most addressable. ProvisionAI cuts freight costs and CO₂ simultaneously. No new fleet. No offsets. Just more product on every truck.

285k Tons CO₂ reduced Per year, full network
88k Trucks eliminated Per year, less fuel
4–8% Emissions cut Per operation vs baseline
98% Truck utilization Up from 90–95% baseline
Efficiency = Sustainability The same gain hits P&L and emissions roadmap

How we solve it

AutoO2 load optimization — maximizing truck payload reduces Scope 3 CO2 emissions
285kTons CO₂ reduced/yr
AutoO2 — Load Optimization

More product per truck means fewer trucks — and fewer emissions per shipment.

AutoO2 maximizes payload on every load — axle-legal, damage-free. When each truck carries more, fewer trucks are needed. Fewer trucks = fewer miles, less fuel, lower Scope 3 CO₂.

  • 300+ constraints solved simultaneously — fills every trailer to its legal maximum, eliminating empty space that represents wasted fuel and CO₂.
  • 88k trucks eliminated annually — each one representing fuel not burned and miles not driven.
  • Quantifiable & reportable — 285,000 tons CO₂ reduction directly attributable to load optimization under GHG Protocol.

LevelLoad smooth shipment schedule — eliminates high-emission spot carriers
60%Variability reduction
LevelLoad — Network Planning

Smooth shipment volatility — and eliminate the carbon cost of reactive logistics.

Shipment spikes force high-emission spot carriers onto lanes that could run on intermodal. LevelLoad smooths the flow 30 days out — keeping preferred low-carbon carriers in the mix.

  • Intermodal-first tendering — predictable schedules let you prioritize lower-emission intermodal and SmartWay carriers.
  • Fewer deadhead miles — core carriers with predictable volume can position equipment efficiently.
  • Reduced dock idle time — site-aware scheduling eliminates trucks idling, a direct source of avoidable Scope 3 emissions.

Scope 3 explained

Common questions.

What are Scope 3 emissions?

Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions across the full value chain — supplier activities, inbound and outbound freight, business travel, product use, and disposal. For most CPG and manufacturing companies, Scope 3 represents 70–90% of total carbon output, with transportation being the single largest category within it.

How is Scope 3 different from Scope 1 and 2?

Scope 1 covers direct emissions from assets your company owns. Scope 2 covers purchased energy. Scope 3 spans everything else across the value chain: suppliers, logistics providers, customers, and product disposal. It's the hardest to measure and typically the largest — 70–90% of total footprint for most CPG manufacturers.

What regulations require Scope 3 reporting?

The EU CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), SEC climate disclosure rules, and ISSB IFRS S2 standard mandate Scope 3 reporting for listed companies — with penalties for non-compliance. ESG ratings that affect access to capital increasingly reflect Scope 3 exposure as a financial risk signal. Compliance deadlines range from 2024 to 2026 depending on company size.

How does load optimization reduce Scope 3 emissions?

Load optimization reduces Scope 3 emissions by eliminating unnecessary truck trips. AutoO2 maximizes legal payload — pushing utilization from 90–95% to 98% — so fewer trucks are needed to move the same volume. This directly reduces miles driven, fuel burned, and CO₂ emitted. ProvisionAI eliminates 88,000 trucks annually and reduces 285,000 tons of CO₂ — equivalent to 4,675 acres of US forest per year.
