Coast Seafood / Agile Logistics

“The new report will show us the effect of our measures, and will make it a lot easier to identify which measures gives the best effect,” says Logistics Director Eirik Flo.

Since August, Coast Seafood and their subsidiary, Agile Logistics, have worked closely with Maritech to implement their new sustainability reporting. The reporting itself is set to start on January 1, 2024.

“We are satisfied. The reporting solution works well and it has been a good project,” Flo continues.

“Since we use Maritech software for both our logistics and seafood operations, we chose Maritech Sustainability Reporting too. All the transport- and sales-related data are already in the other systems. Additionally, we got the opportunity to calculate environmental data related to production. Thus, we cover the most critical areas where we have emissions due to both our production and transportation.”

Valuable results and learning

“It’s challenging to work on sustainability measures if you don’t see improvements. We have achieved that with the new reporting,” he continues.

“The journey has been a bit more complex than we thought — you really need to understand logistics to recreate real numbers in the models. You must be very careful about the assumptions you enter to get the right emission figures. There are many pitfalls, so it has been a demanding exercise. But now I hope that we have obtained a valuable and accurate tool.

Creating emissions reporting that is good enough and accurate enough is not straightforward. However, it brings a lot of value when you work through it. And you learn a lot about sustainability data along the way. “
