About BigMile

BigMile is a tech company that offers solutions to calculate, analyze and report on multimodal transport-related carbon emissions. By building our own SaaS platform and extensively relying on API integrations to implement the best ways to calculate, allocate and reduce carbon emissions, we make it easy for our customers to start measuring their carbon footprint as the basis for reducing emissions against the backdrop of the 2030 and 2050 targets.

Our SaaS platform is suitable for companies with a regional or city-wide coverage area, as well as for globally active multinationals that use various transport modalities.

How it all began

Jan Pronk, Managing Director

The origin of BigMile lies within a project by the Dutch government. After the Paris Climate Change Agreement in 2015, the Dutch government wanted to provide guidelines for the logistics and mobility sector on how to measure transport-related CO2 emissions and allocate emissions on a shipment-level. During this initial project, research had been conducted to find the best methodologies and tooling to accurately measure and allocate CO2 emissions.

Building on the existing European EN16258 norm, development of the technology was started. At the end of 2020, this government project was finalized, which laid the foundation of the BigMile platform. With a few entrepreneurs coming together, BigMile B.V. was born. When I was asked to take part and lead this new adventure, I immediately said yes.

With more than 25 years of experience in the world of logistics and IT, it became clear to me that insights into CO2 emissions would become a necessity in the next years. Upcoming emission reporting regulations and worldwide sustainability goals, also in the logistics and supply chain industry, were already trending topics back then.

I’m convinced that in the next few years, CO2 emission will be seen as a currency just like Euros and Dollars, therefore becoming a substantial part of financial business practices. Hence the need to be able to execute logistic activities in an efficient and sustainable way, not only to help reduce CO2 emissions, but also since it will be the only way to make enough margins and drive profit from conducting business.

For now, BigMile consists of 15 employees (and counting!) and helps over 140+ customers. Looking ahead, I foresee BigMile to be the accepted standard solution to calculate end-to-end, transport-related CO2 emissions, ready for accountancy, for small business but also multinationals. Because every mile with a small footprint is a BigMile!
