Italsempione: Scope 1 and 2 emissions calculation, sustainability report, and internal ESG training
The challenge
Italsempione is an Italian company with 70 years of experience in international freight forwarding and logistics.
The company has been working on ESG issues for years, through initiatives such as scholarships for employees’ children and a company library, alongside policies designed to cut waste and make the workplace more sustainable.
In 2023, responding to specific requests from certain clients, Italsempione decided to formalize its sustainability commitment by setting up an ESG committee made up of the heads of every business area.
The company chose Up2You to calculate its carbon footprint on the CliMax platform and to produce its sustainability report in Choral. It also decided to invest in employee training using the PlaNet gamification platform.

Needs and objectives
Formalize its commitments
Already active on the ESG front, Italsempione needed a complete overview that was consistent with the work it was already doing on sustainability.
Build solid know-how
To consolidate its ESG program, the company needed a partner entirely dedicated to sustainability that could help it develop the right skills.
Set clear objectives
Italsempione needed to spell out its objectives for the coming years in order to map out a solid strategy for its future growth.
Initial challenges
Finding the right partner
Plenty of companies have started moving on sustainability in recent years, but finding an established, innovative partner whose core business is ESG was not easy.
Getting support from a dedicated team
Few consulting firms on the market offer both a digital platform and a dedicated team to turn to. The most technologically advanced providers tend to offer support only through call centers or standardized channels.
Why Italsempione chose Up2You
- A company whose core business is sustainability
- Innovative platforms that make reporting far simpler, partly thanks to built-in artificial intelligence.
- Innovative, engaging training through the gamification platform PlaNet
- Access to a dedicated team of consultants ready to answer every question.
Testimonial
“At Italsempione, we have always paid attention to social and environmental issues. In 2023 we decided to create a dedicated ESG Committee to formalize the actions we had already taken and to define the steps of our future strategy.
We chose Up2You because we needed a knowledgeable, well-organized, and innovative partner to guide us along the way.
With a dedicated team behind us and an intuitive, technologically advanced platform, we are now collecting the data we need to publish our first sustainability report.
On top of that, the PlaNet platform has let us launch an internal training program to raise awareness and get more and more of our people involved in sustainability."

The project
Work with Italsempione is still under way. It started with a competitor analysis and an introductory workshop to brief management on how the entire program would run.
The next phase was preparing the materiality survey that would feed the double materiality assessment aligned with the ESRS standards. Next came configuration of the CliMax and Choral platforms, a prerequisite for the data collection that followed. The closing activities will cover drafting the impact page and customizing the design, so the finished document communicates effectively and stays true to the company’s identity.
In parallel with the Choral and CliMax rollout, Italsempione launched an internal training program on the PlaNet gamification platform.
The project is still in progress, but early feedback already points to a high level of company-wide engagement on sustainability and strong employee interest in the training sessions. The gamification mechanics have driven active participation and helped create an atmosphere of healthy competition across the organization. Working with Up2You, Italsempione can now put its results to work, using what has emerged as a strategic lever for competitive advantage over its rivals and a stronger position in the market.
