Mahindra Logistics, Sangti Solutions to offer emission analytics

Mahindra Logistics, one of India’s largest integrated logistics solutions providers, and Sangti Solutions, an AI powered sustainability startup, announced a technology collaboration offering emission analytics to innovate and optimise end-to-end supply chain operations.

Focusing on Scope 3 climate pollution, the partnership will provide carbon emission KPIs for sectors such as auto, telecom, e-commerce, manufacturing and white goods across full truck load, part truck load, warehousing, and cross border solutions, says an official release from Mahindra Logistics.

The collaboration aligns with Mahindra Logistics environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, supporting the broader goal of green supply chains, the release added. "The company continually empowers its customers and partners to decarbonise their supply chains, adopt greener operational models and mitigate carbon output through advanced tools."

As part of the agreement, a fully automated system will be established through a SaaS platform, says the release. "Accredited by the Global Logistics Emission Council (GLEC) and ISO 14083, the system seamlessly integrates into existing logistics and supply chain management processes. It is user-friendly and accessible via both web and mobile devices, providing a centralised interface for efficient data management and comprehensive viewing."

Rampraveen Swaminathan, MD & CEO, Mahindra Logistics says: “The logistics sector leaves an undeniable footprint on our planet. In India, where freight movement is heavily reliant on road transportation, a collaborative effort amongst shippers, logistics service providers, technology start-ups and other stakeholders is essential to help the country achieve its Nationally Determined Contribution. As India is still a part of the Voluntary Carbon Market, there is an opportunity to accelerate this transition. Our collaboration with Sangti reflects the private sector’s commitment to enhancing market credibility and supporting sustainable initiatives. We believe this collaboration will help our partners achieve their carbon neutrality goals more quickly, leading to improved air quality, health, and well-being for a better today and a brighter tomorrow."

Hitesh Bhuraia, Co-Founder & CEO, Sangti Solutions adds: “We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate with Mahindra Logistics. From the outset, we recognised a deep commitment to sustainability from the leaders of Mahindra Logistics, a dedication that permeates every part of the organisation. Together, we are confident in achieving our shared objective of delivering low carbon solutions to Mahindra Logistics customers, thereby helping them reduce their Scope 3 emissions."

Mahindra Logistics' green logistics ecosystem is a suite of solutions designed to help the company achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2040. It includes carbon-neutral warehousing solutions, sustainable transportation practices, an EV fleet for last mile delivery, plantation initiatives, energy efficiency improvements, and advancements in alternate fuels such as LNG and hydrogen, the release added.
