THE PROGRAM

Via Green Institute developed the Atmospheric Pollutant Emission Management Program (VGP) for the cargo and passenger transport sector, covering the four modes: roadway, waterway, railway and airway. VGP is an innovative and voluntary program that offers a set of initiatives for the complete management of emissions of Greenhouse Gases and other pollutants from the transport sector operations of member organizations. The program aims to accelerate and encourage companies to adopt best operating practices, thus contributing to a more balanced climate and a pollution-free atmosphere.

INDICATORS AND TARGETS TO REDUCE COSTS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION

THE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROCESSES

SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT

INTEGRATING THE VALUE CHAIN

The program makes it possible to integrate the whole value chain, connecting the shippers, transporters and intermediaries, hence, when an organization measures the emissions from a transport operation carried out to another, it can consult within the VGP platform, the emissions from this contracted service, and being able to add them in its sustainability reports and GHG inventories (scope 3), contemplating from the carbon footprint regarding the logistics of its inputs and their products to the final consumer.

Via Green Institute and CDP - Carbon Disclosure Project have partnered to provide solutions to facilitate the integration and interaction of the entire value chain of companies, which respond to CDP.

VGP members can issue emissions reports that are compatible with the CDP Supply Chain questionnaires, within the system.

TARGET AUDIENCE

TARGET AUDIENCE

VGP was developed to serve all players in the logistics and transport sector, such as carriers, ship-owners, railway companies, airlines, NVOCC, freight forwarders, logistics companies, passenger transport companies, among others. VGP also serves the cargo owners, who contract the transport services directly and indirectly.
