Mahindra Logistics Limited and Sangti Solutions Pvt. Ltd, an AI powered sustainability startup, have announced a technological collaboration to offer emission analytics and to innovate as well as optimise end-to-end supply chain operations. Focusing on Scope 3 climate pollution, the partnership will provide carbon emission KPIs for sectors such as auto, telecom, e-commerce, manufacturing and white goods across full truck load, part truck load, warehousing and cross-the-border solutions.

Accelerating the company’s commitment to Net Zero, this collaboration aligns with Mahindra Logistics’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, supporting the broader goal of green supply chains. The company is continually empowering its customers and partners to decarbonise their supply chains, adopt greener operational models and mitigate carbon output through advanced tools, according to Rampraveen Swaminathan, MD & CEO, Mahindra Logistics Limited. 

The Mahindra Logistics green logistics ecosystem is a suite of solutions designed to help the company achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and includes carbon-neutral warehousing solutions, sustainable transportation practices, an EV fleet for last mile delivery, plantation initiatives, energy efficiency improvements, and advancements in alternate fuels such as LNG and hydrogen.

“The logistics sector leaves an undeniable footprint on our planet. In India, where freight movement is heavily reliant on road transportation, a collaborative effort amongst shippers, logistics service providers, technology start-ups, and other stakeholders is essential to help the country achieve its Nationally Determined Contribution. Reducing carbon intensity to 45% of India’s GDP by 2030 requires transformative change. As India is still a part of the Voluntary Carbon Market, there is an opportunity to accelerate this transition. Our collaboration with Sangti, reflects the private sector’s commitment to enhancing market credibility and supporting sustainable initiatives. We believe this collaboration will help our partners achieve their carbon neutrality goals more quickly, leading to improved air quality, health, and well-being for a better today and a brighter tomorrow,” Swaminathan informed. 

Hitesh Bhuraia, Co-Founder and CEO, Sangti Solutions Pvt Ltd, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate with Mahindra Logistics. From the outset, we recognized a deep commitment to sustainability from the leaders of Mahindra Logistics, a dedication that permeates every part of the organisation. Together, we are confident in achieving our shared objective of delivering “low carbon” solutions to Mahindra Logistics customers, thereby helping them reduce their Scope 3 emissions”.
