Our Commitment

Shipping Green
for the Future

At Livramento Shipping, we believe that being a global logistics leader comes with a responsibility to protect our planet. Our sustainability strategy is built on three pillars: reducing emissions, optimizing routes, and partnering with eco-certified carriers.

We have committed to a 40% reduction in our carbon footprint by 2030 — and we're on track to exceed that target through smarter logistics, greener carriers, and investment in sustainable infrastructure across all our operations.

Sustainability is not an add-on for us — it is built into every shipment, every route decision, and every carrier selection we make. We provide every client with a detailed carbon footprint report for their supply chain, at no additional cost.

Our Approach

Sustainable Development Goals

We specifically embrace the five SDGs where, together with our stakeholders, we can create the most value for stakeholders and society as a whole. In line with these SDGs, we believe we can have the most impact by supporting the energy and feedstock transitions, providing a safe working environment, helping avoid air, water, and soil pollution, and building resilient, sustainable infrastructure in ports around the world.

Low-Emission Carrier Network

We partner exclusively with shipping lines and airlines committed to IMO 2030 and CORSIA emissions goals. Our carrier scorecard rates sustainability performance alongside price.

FAQ

Sustainability Questions

Common questions about our environmental commitments and green logistics services.

How do you calculate carbon emissions for my shipments?

We use the GLEC Framework (Global Logistics Emissions Council) — the industry standard for logistics emissions accounting. Our system factors in mode of transport, distance, cargo weight, and carrier efficiency metrics. Every client receives a detailed carbon report with their invoice.

What is your AEO certification and how does it help sustainability?

AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) status reduces customs delays, which means fewer idle emissions from waiting trucks and vessels. Faster clearance = lower carbon footprint. It's one of the many ways compliance and sustainability align.

Can you help my company reduce its Scope 3 emissions?

Absolutely. We provide detailed carbon accounting for your supply chain, identify reduction opportunities, and help you report against GHG Protocol Scope 3 requirements. Many of our clients use our data for their ESG reporting.

What sustainable fuels do your carriers use?

Our preferred ocean carriers use a blend of biofuel and conventional marine fuel, reducing CO₂ by up to 20% on key routes. For air freight, we prioritise carriers using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) where available, though supply remains limited.

Do you offer carbon-neutral shipping options?

Yes — clients can choose carbon-neutral shipping for any shipment. We calculate the carbon footprint and offset 100% through verified reforestation and renewable energy projects, with no markup on offset costs.
