CARGO START Srl, the leading digital service provider based in Italy, has signed an agreement for the interfacing of its Airport-to-Airport tracking solution StarTracking with the CO2-emission calculator developed and operated by the Swiss organization CarbonCare.

As of 1st February 2022, users of StarTracking will be able to benefit from special conditions to access CarbonCare’s solution for the certified calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by their air cargo shipments.

The subscription to this innovative service enables freight forwarders to visualize the carbon footprint of every single shipment on Airport-to-Airport level, directly on the StarTracking platform. Calculations related to the entire shipping process, on Door-to-Door level, are accessible with just one click via the CarbonCare platform.

CarbonCare also provides detailed reporting and data archiving functions, that allow monitoring the performance and planning the necessary measures to reduce the environmental impact. Moreover, CarbonCare allows choosing among a variety of compensation projects via the Swiss-based organization MyClimate.
