How to offset your cargos Co2 emissions

The freight industry is changing for the greener, which is why we’ve partnered with Chooose to allow you to offset your shipment’s Co2 emissions and donate to sustainable projects, such as cleaner energy initiatives, clean water and sanitation programs, and climate action.

You can get involved by donating the calculation of your Co2 emissions based on your shipment information. We’ve implemented a tool to help you do just that.

Find out how you can offset your carbon emissions and give something back in this article.

Firstly, click on the Shipment section in the side menu, then eBookings. find an eBooking marked as Confirmed or Delivered. To see the Co2 offset options, the booking must show one of these statuses.

There are 2 ways you can choose to offset your freight. The first is within the My eBookings tab.

Click on the 3 dots to the side of the existing eBooking, then selecting Offset your freight.

The second is by clicking on the directly on the eBooking within the eBookings section, where you’ll be taken to a page to view your shipment information. There is a button just above the flight itinerary that states Offset your freight.

Whichever way you arrive, click on the Offset your freight button.

Another window will open on your browser where you’ll see the total amount of Co2 emissions produced for your shipment and the price calculated automatically based on your shipment details.


If you want to add more carbon emissions based on a shipment made outside WebCargo, click on Add another bulk carbon item. This will allow you to add the amount of Co2 emissions per kg and will calculate the additional cost.
