We are proud to announce that Proxio has been featured as a key expert contributor in Alpega’s 2026 Trend Report: “Designing for Disruption.“ This global report identifies five critical trends redefining supply chains, and Proxio’s expertise was central to defining how sustainability is transitioning from a “nice-to-have” to a core strategic pillar.
What “Resilience” Looks Like in 2026
The report’s core message is clear: Resilience must be designed, not improvised. For Proxio, this means moving beyond manual estimates and embracing automated, primary-data-driven insights that allow hauliers and shippers to back every decision with facts.
Proxio’s Contribution: Decarbonization by Design
Proxio’s insights are prominently featured in Trend #5: “Decarbonisation Gets Designed into Supply Chains.” Johan Vagerstam, Chief Operating Officer at Proxio Systems, shares how leading companies are no longer treating sustainability as an afterthought.
Key insights contributed by Proxio include:
Strategic Priority: Using the example of Scania, which set ambitious reduction targets, Vagerstam highlights how making sustainability a strategic priority at the top management level simplifies decision-making across the entire business.
The Three Buckets of CO2 Reduction: To move from a baseline to actual reduction, Vagerstam identifies three practical areas for action:
Operational Efficiency: Increasing truck fill rates, reducing empty miles, and consolidating shipments.
Mode Shifts: Moving from air to ocean or road to rail when lead times allow.
Fuel and Technology Shifts: Transitioning to biofuels or electrification.
Embedding Sustainability in Procurement: Mature organizations are now running emissions scenario analysis during the RFQ process. Shippers are increasingly using “alternative bidding,” asking carriers to provide both a cost-optimized and an emissions-optimized option for the same lane.
Looking Ahead: The 2026 Landscape
As we look toward 2026, Vagerstam predicts an acceleration in decarbonization driven by rising carbon costs, such as the upcoming ETS2 (the EU Emissions Trading System for road and fuels). This shift will drive the rapid adoption of “Book & Claim” mechanisms, allowing companies to claim emission reductions by financing low-carbon fuel use within a carrier’s network.
Being recognized alongside global leaders validates our mission to help the transport sector turn environmental data into a source of competitive advantage.
