CO2 emissions arising from corporate activities are accounted as one of the main drivers of climate change. As carbon emissions from maritime supply chains increasingly contribute to the CO2 levels of overall supply chains, they demand particular emphasis.  Maritime logistics are an essential pillar for the markets Cargill Refined Oils Europe (CROE) are operating in.  Through a retrospective investigation on the carbon performance of vessel and barge movements in the stages of CROE's maritime supply chain, the author aimed to identify future potentials for CO2 efficiency gains and cost savings. Besides of the build up of a unique database with sufficient parameters the author disclosed potential austerity measures for global maritime supply chains. The findings can be used as a business case which helps academic, industry and market research to understand the challenges of assessing actual Scope 3 CO2 emissions values in the supply chains of the food ingredients industry.
