Understand and act on your fleet’s carbon footprint
New transport carbon reporting laws are rolling out across Australia and New Zealand - and for many businesses, that means tackling Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for the first time.
That’s why we’ve embedded carbon reporting directly into the Cario platform. Designed by freight and logistics experts from Cario, initially alongside Swinburne University data science students, Cario’s carbon reporting feature automatically turns your existing freight data into high-integrity carbon reports - ready to help you report, reduce and take action.
Get compliance ready
Prepare for changing regulations and reporting expectations with carbon insights aligned to Scope 3 emissions.
Make your fleet data work harder
Use existing freight data in Cario to create accurate, transparent sustainability reports - without the need for spreadsheets.
Actionable insights, not just estimates
See the emissions impact of your 3rd party carriers activity and get clear recommendations for reduction and offsets.
Be a sustainability leader
Build trust with customers and partners by making sustainability part of the story you tell - and the way you deliver.

Case Study:
Dandenong Distributor Centre
Cario’s carbon reporting tool was used to measure the emissions from a single day’s freight movement from their Dandenong hub to multiple state warehouses.
| 500kg pallets to Perth via rail | x7 |
| 500kg pallets to Sydney via road | x14 |
| 6kg parcels to Brisbane via air | x4 |
| Total Carbon emitted: | 832.71kg |
| Trees planted to offset this freight emission: | 32 trees |
Note: This example is simplified for demonstration purposes
