CP offers carbon calculator for customers
Canadian Pacific has launched a web-based carbon emissions calculator that lets customers figure out the carbon impact of their shipments.
The tool makes complex, tailored emissions calculations and incorporates customer-specific shipping details to calculate route and commodity-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The tool provides an overview of lifecycle emissions from logistics services and a comparison of CP’s rail services to long-haul trucking alternatives.
“CP is committed to operating sustainably and being part of the solution in the transition to a less carbon intensive economy in North America,” said Keith Creel, CP president and CEO. “We are pleased to provide customers with a tool that allows them to better understand the carbon footprint associated with their shipping options and make informed choices that benefit the environment.”
CP said the carbon emissions calculator provides a framework to identify and collaborate on opportunities to reduce GHG emissions within supply chains.
