With over 40 years of experience and an international reach, Sparber Group specialises in logistics and multimodal transportation by land, sea, and air.

The challenge
The solution & results
From data to certification
The first step was gathering all 2022 emissions data across land, sea, air, and multimodal operations, with the Dcycle team providing support at every stage.
- Emissions data for road, maritime, air, and multimodal transport.
- Dcycle team support throughout the data collection process.
Carbon footprint measurement was conducted for Scopes 1 and 2, providing a complete picture of direct emissions and energy-related indirect emissions.
- Direct emissions (Scope 1) from all transport modes.
- Indirect energy emissions (Scope 2) from facilities.
Dcycle's platform was instrumental during the certification audit — calculations were reviewed and accepted by auditors, demonstrating precision and reliability throughout.
- Data validated and accepted by MITECO auditors.
- Seal obtained in just 13 days from submission.
With a certified baseline established, Sparber defined its emissions reduction targets and structured a plan to progressively reduce its environmental impact.
- Clear targets based on the certified 2022 baseline.
- Roadmap aligned with sustainable development goals.
