<p data-start="0" data-end="475">A global beverage company with complex logistics operations across multiple countries needed a unified reporting solution to measure emissions impact. With a mix of owned and third-party trucking fleets, the business aimed to define consistent emissions KPIs, integrate hybrid fleet data, and support ambitious sustainability targets. Key challenges included inconsistent data collection across regions and a lack of aligned governance among stakeholders.</p>

<h3 data-start="477" data-end="997"><strong data-start="477" data-end="493">The Solution</strong></h3>
<p data-start="477" data-end="997">Regional transportation managers were appointed as &ldquo;data owners&rdquo; to drive accuracy and accountability. A global data governance framework was created, led by the global head of Business Intelligence (BI). Standardised training was provided to ensure consistent data input using SAP BW BI within the SAP S4/HANA rollout. Collaboration between the BI team and the sustainability group led to a quarterly reporting structure, tracking the impact of hybrid fleet adoption and AI-led dispatch optimisation.</p>

<h3 data-start="999" data-end="1391"><strong data-start="999" data-end="1014">The Outcome</strong></h3>
<p data-start="999" data-end="1391" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Initial reports showed clear benefits from fleet modernisation and automated dispatching, resulting in board approval for further fleet investment. Verified emissions data led to tax incentives from environmental bodies in Brazil and South Africa. The project laid a strong foundation for ongoing ESG reporting and further progress toward the company&rsquo;s sustainability goals.</p>
