Case Study: Klean Kanteen reduces reporting time and CO2 emissions with Flexport

How Klean Kanteen Reduces Time Spent on Reporting and Hundreds of Tons of CO2 Emissions

Klean Kanteen, a certified B-corporation that makes reusable bottles and other drinkware, needed better visibility into the environmental impact of its supply chain. Traditional freight forwarders offered little data and no carbon estimates at quote time, forcing the company to rely on manual calculations and tedious reporting. Flexport’s platform and predictive emissions tool gave Klean Kanteen access to shipment CO2 estimates in one place before booking.

With Flexport, Klean Kanteen centralized supply chain management, improved collaboration across teams, and made faster, more strategic logistics decisions. The company used the visibility to reduce air shipments, which had been driving a disproportionate share of emissions: just 1% of freight moved by air accounted for 30% of its carbon emissions last year. Flexport helped Klean Kanteen better plan and avoid air freight whenever possible, supporting both efficiency and sustainability goals.
