Just over two months into EU-Mercosur, volumes are shifting onto the Europe-South America corridor. EU ETS is landing on every invoice, and forwarders on this lane are looking for concrete ways to reduce their exposure.
In 30 minutes, our CEO Pierre Garreau sits down with Jan-Henrik Hertel, CTO of Andes by Apex, a Latin American freight forwarder operating across 8 countries in the region. Working with Searoutes, Andes turned EU ETS from a client cost problem into a paying sustainability service. Today they also sell biofuel and SAF programs on the back of that data.
Jan-Henrik shares how they built it, what forwarders can do today to reduce their EU ETS exposure, and why sustainability data has become a competitive advantage on this corridor.
If you procure freight on this lane, this one's for you.
