Training in CGG “Measure my Green Readiness” Self-Assessment Tool DOWNLOAD the Manual “Measure my Green Readiness” Access In order to use the “Measure my Green Readiness” tool, you simply need: A PC/laptop with a web browser installed, e.g. Google Chrome, Edge, Mozilla Firefox etc. Access to the internet You can access the tool through this link: https://measuregreenreadinesstoolv2.bubbleapps.io/version-test Users The access to the tool does not require login credentials. Users: Everyone is able to access and operate the tool, since its access is open. Admin: DREVEN is the sole contributor and administrator of this tool. Best Practices For the optimum performance of the “Measure my Green Readiness” tool, the following simple best practices are recommended: Users should close the tab of the tool when not in use. Users are advised to keep their web browsers up to date with the latest version for better performance of the system. In order to have a smoother experience, the users are advised to use a monitor or a laptop with a screen bigger than 17”. Functions of the “Measure my Green Readiness” tool The main purpose of this tool is to calculate the Carbon Footprint of courier companies, by using data input on Delivery Activity and Emission Categories. Therefore, we define the following main functions of the tool with their respective categories in order to receive a valid outcome: Delivery Activity: The user is required to provide data on: Reference year Average consignment weight processed within the reference year. Average number of consignments processed within the reference year. Emissions Categories: The user is required to provide data in three main categories: Road Transportation Hubs and Offices Supply Chain Transportation Waste Management: Results: The Carbon Footprint of the courier company. User guidance Aiming to a better understanding of the actions to the user, provided in this manual, some shapes (green arrows and circles) were used, as seen below.   “Measure my Green Readiness” Tool Main page (“Home”) The main page of the tool that the user sees when accessing the provided link is shown in Figure 1. In the main page, the user receives introductory information about the “Measure my Green Readiness” tool, and the Couriers Go Green Erasmus+ project. The bar on the top of the page provides the navigation menu and, at this stage, are deactivated, since the user hasn’t started the tool yet. In order to initiate the tool, the user can must click “Start”. At any given time, the user can click on “Home” and be transferred back to the main page of the tool.   “Delivery Activity” “Delivery Activity” sets the start of the tool and is the first step of data entry from the user. In this tab the user provides data on a yearly basis.  In more detail, as illustrated below in Figure 2, the user is asked to provide the Reference year of the data they are going to provide. Then, the user is requested to enter data regarding the average weight (kg) of consignments processed within that year and the average number of consignments processed within that year. Those two entries are then multiplied, and they represent the average total weight of consignments processed within the reference year.   Emission categories Moving on from the “Delivery Activity”, the user is transferred to the “Emission categories” tab, where one “Emission Category” must be selected in order to proceed with the tool (Figure 3). Ηere the user initiates the main aspect of the tool. Each time the user completes a category, he/she has the option to observe primary results, and one must complete all categories in order to receive the total Carbon Footprint of the company. The “Measure my Green Readiness” tool provides 4 different categories for the user to select from. The user can select between, “Road transportation”, “Hubs and Offices”, “Supply chain transportation”, and “Waste Management”.   “Road transportation” category The first category that the user can select is the “Road transportation”. This category includes the emissions from assets that results from the fuels consumed for road transportation of consignments. As presented in Figure 4, when selecting the “Road transportation” button under the “Emission category” tab, the user needs to provide input data about the total distance (km) covered by transportation vessels that are used by the company. The two main categories here are, a) Road transportation between hubs (long haul), and b) Road transportation last mile (short haul).   Then the users proceed by clicking the green button “Next”. They will then have the option to select between a variety of vehicles for long and short haul as illustrated in Figure 5. The long-haul options are mainly trucks, that are divided in categories by the weight of the cargo that they can carry and the type of fuel they need to operate. An extra option for the user is to indicate the percentage of trucks that need temperature control, while carrying sensitive cargo. The user can click on “Back” in case they want to change any input entered at the previous steps. By clicking on “Next”, the selections for short haul will appear (Figure 6) and the user can now choose between different types of motorcycles and vans, that are again divided by the weight of the cargo that they can carry and the type of fuel they need to operate. After the completion of this stage, and by clicking “Next”, the data input to calculate the carbon footprint considering the road transportation is completed, and the user has the option to proceed to the “Hubs and Offices” category or jump to the “Results” as shown in Figure 7.   “Hubs and offices” category The second category that the user can select is the “Hubs and offices”. This category includes emissions resulting from the generation and distribution of electricity and heat that the offices and hubs are using, and the user will also have the option to provide data regarding packaging and other office materials. First, the user is asked to provide electricityhttp://www.green-courier.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-07-22-16_35_04-FINAL_Manual-Measute-my-Green-Readiness-tool_NF_GR.docx.png
