When buying a product, it is often difficult to know how it was transported. At the Movin’On Summit 2026, Émilie Espanet, Secretary General of the New Energies Coalition (CMA CGM), discusses consumers’ interest in this information and how the sector could put it to use.
A study conducted with Movin’On and Kantar indicates that some consumers would be willing to pay a small premium for a product transported using renewable fuels and generating lower emissions. Émilie Espanet sees this as a signal of demand. For that demand to influence purchasing decisions, shippers, carriers and customer-facing companies need to be able to share information about how products are transported.
She discusses the Transport Score as one possible way of making this information accessible. Its implementation still needs to be developed. The interview explores the work needed to bring the different links in the value chain together and make transport’s footprint a factor consumers can take into account.
