The Sustainable Freight Network (SFN) is an innovative product by Baxter Freight designed to help businesses decarbonise their logistics. SFN is made up of three solutions: detailed carbon reporting, reduction strategies, and verified carbon removal to create a practical, credible pathway toward carbon-smart freight solutions.

Green logistics is the designing and managing of logistics and supply chains to reduce environmental impact. This includes cutting greenhouse gas emissions, using cleaner transport modes, and optimising routes to save fuel. It is becoming more in demand due to the amount of emissions from the logistics industry.

• Measuring your logistics-related carbon footprint (Scope 3 emissions)

• Switching to lower-carbon transport modes like rail or sea

• Using low-carbon or alternative fuels (EVs, SAF, biofuels)

• Investing in carbon reduction or removal projects

The Sustainable Freight Network by Baxter Freight helps companies do all of this in a structured, transparent way.

Carbon-neutral shipping is balancing the carbon emitted by freight transport with an equivalent amount of carbon reduction or removal, so your net emissions are zero. This can be achieved through reducing emissions or supporting carbon emission transport through carbon certificates.

The Sustainable Freight Network helps you measure your Scope 3 emissions, those indirect emissions in your supply chain that can be the hardest to track. By providing accurate, clear reporting, we help you understand your carbon footprint and identify where reductions are possible across your supply chain.

Sustainable freight solutions show customers and stakeholders you’re serious about climate action. Measuring and reducing logistics emissions supports ESG reporting, helps meet net-zero targets, and strengthens your brand reputation. 

As well as the obvious, reducing your carbon footprint helps to protect our planet.

SFN is built around:

• Report – Accurately measuring and reporting your logistics-related Scope 3 emissions.

• Reduce – Helping you cut emissions through smarter intermodal logistics and low-carbon fuel choices.

• Remove – Neutralising unavoidable emissions by supporting certified carbon reduction projects via the Book and Claim system.

Book and Claim is an accounting method that allows you to invest in certified carbon reduction or sustainable fuel projects even when direct use isn’t possible in your own supply chain. This makes it easier to achieve meaningful emissions reduction without logistical barriers.

SFN is unique because it combines:

• Credible, transparent Scope 3 reporting.

• Expert advice on practical, low-carbon freight strategies.

• Verified carbon removal, ensuring your decarbonisation is real and measurable.

All backed by Baxter Freight’s logistics expertise and commitment to sustainability.

Simply contact Baxter Freight. Our team will work with you to understand your current logistics profile, help set up carbon reporting, and design a reduction and removal plan tailored to your business needs.

The most effective approach combines:

The Sustainable Freight Network (SFN) by Baxter Freight brings all of these three approaches in one practical, credible solution. Whether you want all of our SFN or just parts, choose what works best for you and your business. 

This is a difficult one. It doesn’t have to be.

Currently, the demand is not there for all sustainable transport and therefore can be pricier as an option.

However, many carbon reduction strategies, like optimising routes or using intermodal transport, can save costs over time. SFN also helps businesses invest efficiently in verified carbon reduction, so your sustainability spending delivers real impact. 

Yes! SFN is designed to support companies of all sizes, whether you’re starting your sustainability journey or looking to deepen existing efforts.

Yes. As part of our commitment to delivering quality solutions and working towards the ongoing development of our own sustainability journey, we use third-party auditors to ensure we’re fully compliant with the latest GLEC standards and working towards professional sustainable practices.

By focusing on accurate data, practical emissions reduction, and verified removal, SFN helps you make lasting environmental progress—not just offsetting, but transforming your supply chain for a lower-carbon future.

Always do your research, understand the industry and the language as it can get a bit complicated. But, the first step is to measure what you are currently emitting as a business. Here you can establish a baseline, develop targets and make a plan to reduce your emissions.
