Scope 3 on Deadline: Freight Emissions You Can Defend

Scope 3 reporting is going from voluntary to required, and the freight line is the part most shippers can’t defend. California SB 253 brings the first mandatory reports on November 10, 2026, with Scope 3 from 2027. EU CBAM and CSRD are already live. Customer and CDP requests are arriving now.

Gnosis tracks your containers on their real route. Carbon Emissions turns that tracking into a defensible Scope 3 freight number, measured from the actual voyage instead of estimated from a spreadsheet. The route and distance come from the voyage the ship sailed, the factors are GLEC v3.1, and the methodology is documented. We calculate it for every container, every day, out of the container record you already run. For existing customers we turn it on the same day, with no new integration.

In this session, Hudson Joyner, Chief of Staff, covers the regulatory deadlines and why this number belongs in your platform. Parker Quarles, Product Owner, opens Gnosis Carbon Emissions and runs the Category 4 calculation on a real shipment, start to finish. We close with how one customer uses it with their consultant. Both will be straight about what works today and what we’re still building.
