Question 1

Which metric is most commonly used to measure the carbon intensity of freight transportation?

Accepted Answer

Grams of CO2 per tonne-kilometer

Answer

Grams of CO2 per tonne-kilometer is the standard carbon intensity metric because it normalizes emissions by both load weight and distance.

Question 2

A logistics company wants to reduce Scope 3 emissions. Which action directly addresses this category?

Accepted Answer

Requiring suppliers to report and reduce their own emissions

Answer

Scope 3 emissions include indirect emissions from the value chain, such as those produced by suppliers and contracted carriers.

Question 3

What is the primary environmental benefit of reverse logistics programs?

Accepted Answer

Diverting end-of-life products from landfills through reuse, repair, or recycling

Answer

Reverse logistics programs recover value from used products and reduce waste by routing items to refurbishment, recycling, or proper disposal.

Question 4

Which shipping strategy best reduces carbon emissions when time is not a critical constraint?

Accepted Answer

Full truckload (FTL) ocean or intermodal shipping

Answer

Ocean and intermodal shipping have significantly lower carbon intensity per tonne-kilometer compared to air or expedited road freight.

Question 5

What does the term 'cradle-to-grave' refer to in sustainable supply chain analysis?

Accepted Answer

Assessing environmental impacts from raw material extraction through end-of-life disposal

Answer

Cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment (LCA) evaluates total environmental impact across a product's full lifespan, from resource extraction to disposal.
