A.H And the Carbon Emission Management.

Carbon Offset Commitment by A.H. Logistics Canada Inc.

Our Pledge to Sustainability

At A.H. Logistics Canada Inc., we recognize the environmental impact of carbon emissions from our transportation activities. As a responsible and forward-thinking logistics provider, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to a healthier planet.

To achieve this, we have established a Tree Planting Carbon Offset Program. This initiative aims to counterbalance the carbon emissions produced by our truckloads, including tandem, tri, and quad loads, through strategic tree planting. Our goal is to make a meaningful impact on climate change while supporting biodiversity and reforestation.

How Carbon Emissions Are Calculated

For every mile that our trucks travel, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere. The amount of CO2 released varies based on the type of load being carried. Here are the estimated carbon emissions per mile for each load type:

Load Type

Carbon Emissions (kg per mile)

Carbon Emissions (lbs per mile)

Tandem Load 1.275 kg/mile 2.8 lbs/mile

Tri Load 1.457 kg/mile 3.2 lbs/mile

Quad Load 1.7 kg/mile 3.75 lbs/mile

Our Approach to Carbon Offsetting

We have created a simple, transparent, and effective approach to offset the carbon emissions caused by our operations. Here’s how our process works:

1. Track and Calculate Carbon Emissions

• For each trip, we calculate the total distance traveled (in miles) for all loads (tandem, tri, and quad).

• We then use the emission rates listed above to calculate the total CO2 emissions for the trip.

• The formula for this calculation is:

2. Plant a Tree for Every 1 Ton of CO2 Emitted

• For every 1 ton (1,000 kg) of CO2 emitted, we will plant 1 tree.

• Since an average tree absorbs 1 ton of CO2 over its lifetime (typically 45 years), the emissions from each trip will eventually be offset.

3. Monitor and Report Progress

• We maintain logs of total miles driven, CO2 emitted, and trees planted. 

Trees May be planted in any part of the world and is not limited to canada, there may be one or more plantation agencies involved in order to plant the trees. 

Example Calculation

Scenario:

A quad load truck drives 500 miles.

1. Emission Calculation

• CO2 emissions per mile for a quad load = 1.7 kg/mile

• Total distance = 500 miles

2. Tree Planting Requirement

• To offset 850 kg of CO2, we will track the cumulative CO2 from multiple trips.

• Once the cumulative CO2 reaches 1,000 kg (1 ton), we will plant 1 tree.

3. Offset Timeline

• The planted tree will absorb 1 ton of CO2 over 45 years, thereby offsetting the emissions generated from our transportation activities.

Why This Matters

1. Environmental Impact

Trees play a critical role in combating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. By planting trees, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable future.

2. Community Engagement

Our initiative supports reforestation and biodiversity, promoting healthier ecosystems and cleaner air for local communities.

3. Sustainable Growth

This program allows us to grow our business while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. Our customers, partners, and stakeholders will recognize our efforts as a company that prioritizes sustainability.

Our Long-Term Vision

At A.H. Logistics Canada Inc., our mission is to be a leader in the logistics industry while taking meaningful action toward environmental protection. We are committed to continuing this program and exploring new ways to reduce emissions and contribute to a cleaner, greener world.

By planting trees for every ton of CO2 emitted, we are not only offsetting our carbon footprint but also fostering a legacy of sustainability for future generations.

Together, we can make a difference.

This document outlines our commitment to sustainability, transparency, and accountability in our carbon offset program. We invite our customers, partners, and stakeholders to join us on this journey toward a greener future.

If Total Emissions are Less then 1 Ton, The Calucaltor will show 1 tree. Once a few loads reach a total of 1 ton CO2, we offset it with one tree.
