Question:

In $2025,$ a technology company aims to reduce its carbon footprint by altering its supply chain logistics$.$ The company has identified that transportation of goods contributes significantly to its overall carbon emissions. It currently ships $50,000$ units of its product monthly from its manufacturing facility in Bangalore, India, to its distribution center in Frankfurt, Germany. The average shipment emits $2$ kilograms of CO$2$ per unit.

The company is considering two alternatives to reduce these emissions:

Switching to a greener shipping method that reduces emissions by $25\%$ but increases shipping costs by $10$ per unit.

Reducing the shipment frequency by consolidating shipments to a quarterly schedule, which reduces the total units shipped by $5\%$ due to better forecasting and reduced product damage, but increases storage costs in Bangalore by $5$ per unit per month.

Calculate the following:

The annual CO$2$ emissions from the current shipping method.

The annual CO$2$ emissions and additional cost per unit if the greener shipping method is adopted.

The annual CO$2$ emissions, savings, or cost if shipments are consolidated quarterly.

Assume the following:

The original shipping cost per unit is $50.$

The company operates $12$ months a year.

Provide the steps and calculations to determine which option is more environmentally and economically beneficial for the company in $2025.$
