CLdN has released its first Carbon Report for 2024, outlining its commitment to sustainability and its alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and International Maritime Organization (IMO) targets.
CLdN has actively prepared for stricter emissions norms for nearly a decade.
In 2023, Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions) totalled 781,098 tonnes of CO2e, mainly from shipping operations, which CLdN is working to decarbonise by investing in energy-efficient technologies and larger, more fuel-efficient RoRo ships.
Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from electricity use) were significantly reduced through the use of renewable energy, accounting for over 97% of all purchased electricity in 2023. CLdN’s multimodal approach, including road, rail, and ferry, has also achieved a 28% increase in rail transport while reducing road transport by 12% between 2021 and 2023, contributing to lower overall GHG emissions.
The company continues to explore greener fuels, electrification of vehicles, and data-driven optimisation for fleet energy efficiency to support its ambition to reduce its carbon footprint and support industry-wide sustainability initiatives.
