EcoTrace by Intugine: Scope 3 Carbon Emissions Tracking for Indian Logistics

What Is EcoTrace?

EcoTrace is Intugine's Scope 3 carbon emissions tracking product for Indian road freight logistics — powered by ULIP (Unified Logistics Interface Platform) data and Intugine's GPS-verified trip intelligence. EcoTrace enables Indian enterprises to calculate, report, and reduce the carbon footprint of their logistics operations using actual trip data rather than industry-average emission factors — providing the accuracy and auditability required for ESG disclosures, BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting) compliance, and enterprise sustainability targets.

As India's SEBI BRSR mandates expand to cover Scope 3 emissions reporting for listed companies, and as export-facing enterprises face increasing customer and regulatory pressure to document supply chain carbon footprints, EcoTrace provides the logistics-specific emissions intelligence layer that generic ESG platforms cannot deliver.

Why Scope 3 Logistics Emissions Are Hard to Track

Scope 3 Category 4 (upstream transportation) and Category 9 (downstream transportation) emissions are among the most difficult to quantify accurately. Standard approaches use industry-average emission factors applied to distance estimates — producing figures that are easy to generate but impossible to audit. The inaccuracy can be significant: a truck running a 650km route at 30% cargo utilisation has a materially different emission profile than the same vehicle fully loaded, and industry averages don't capture this.

EcoTrace uses GPS-verified actual trip distance, vehicle type, load factor, and fuel type data —

producing emissions calculations that are route-specific, trip-specific, and auditable against the underlying GPS data. For enterprise ESG disclosure, this is the difference between a credible emissions figure and a compliance checkbox.

Core Capabilities

Trip-Level Emission Calculation

EcoTrace calculates carbon emissions for every tracked trip — using actual GPS distance, vehicle gross weight, cargo weight, vehicle age, and fuel type to produce a per-trip CO₂e figure. Emissions are calculated using the GHG Protocol methodology, aligned with BRSR and international ESG reporting standards.

Emissions Dashboard by Lane, Transporter, and Period

Aggregate emissions data by trade lane, transporter fleet, plant, product category, and reporting period — enabling supply chain teams to identify the highest-emission segments of their network for targeted reduction initiatives.

Transporter Emissions Benchmarking

Compare emissions intensity (CO₂e per tonne-km) across transporters on equivalent lanes — identifying carriers with newer, cleaner fleets and preferential allocation of volume toward lower-emission transporters as a practical decarbonisation lever within existing network constraints.

BRSR and ESG Report Export

Structured emissions reports exportable in formats aligned with SEBI BRSR, GHG Protocol, and CDP disclosure requirements — reducing ESG reporting preparation time from weeks to hours.

ULIP Integration

EcoTrace is built on ULIP (Unified Logistics Interface Platform) — the Government of India's logistics data integration platform — providing access to verified freight movement data that strengthens the audit trail for emissions calculations submitted in regulatory disclosures.

Who Uses EcoTrace

EcoTrace is deployed by listed Indian enterprises with BRSR Scope 3 reporting obligations, export-oriented manufacturers facing customer sustainability audit requirements, and supply chain teams building internal carbon reduction roadmaps for their logistics operations.
