Flexport Neutrality Offerings

• Customer Shipments and Carbon Neutrality: Flexport helps customers work towards Carbon Neutrality options only with respect to certain shipments or classes of shipments that the customer ships through Flexport. This is only with respect to the freight emissions Flexport calculates for those shipments (offsetting up to 100% of emissions from those shipments) and Flexport makes no representations or statements relating to how customers may handle their emissions footprint in other areas of their business.
• Flexport’s Ocean Consolidation Services Offset Commitment: For certain classes of ocean shipments, including Flexport less than container load, Flexport offsets all emissions on those shipments on behalf of our clients. The calculation on the amount of emissions Flexport offsets to neutralize these shipments is executed using our greenhouse gas emissions calculator, which is accredited by the Smart Freight Centre in conformance with the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework. Those emissions and the offset status of those shipments are purchased from the same partners documented above, more information available on request via climate@flexport.com.
