(GoodShipping/Biobased Diesel Daily) O My Bag, the Amsterdam-based brand that produces ecofriendly and ethically made leather handbags and accessories, joins forces with the world-first sustainable cargo initiative GoodShipping to decarbonize the company’s supply chain by replacing fossil fuels with sustainable alternatives. The certified B Corp known for its strong focus on fair trade and sustainably produced bags and accessories becomes the latest company to join GoodShipping in an effort to achieve a zero-carbon supply chain.

Under the partnership, GoodShipping will facilitate a switch to marine biofuel for the company’s cargo shipments, inbound as well as outbound. This switch provides O My Bag with a simple, easy, and affordable solution to cut its Scope 3 emissions. The use of sustainable marine biofuel allows O My Bag to achieve a 100 percent CO2 well-to-exhaust reduction within its supply chain.

GoodShipping enables companies from all sectors and sizes to decarbonize their ocean-freight transportation via a fuel switch from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives—an innovative concept called carbon insetting. Using GoodShipping’s insetting service, freight owners like O My Bag can decarbonize their supply chain despite not owning or chartering the vessels that transport their freight. The biofuels used for this partnership are provided by marine biofuels pioneer GoodFuels. All GoodFuels’ biofuels are sustainably sourced and completely derived from residues and waste oil products. The biofuels are also verified by an independent sustainability board of leading academics and NGOs in the transport sector. READ MORE
