SMART FREIGHT CENTRE PUBLISHES GLEC FRAMEWORK VERSION 3.3

Smart Freight Centre has published version 3.3 of the GLEC Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting. The Framework provides a globally recognised methodology for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas emissions across multimodal logistics supply chains.

Developed by the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC), the Framework can be used by freight forwarders, logistics service providers, carriers and shippers. It supports a consistent approach to emissions accounting, helping companies understand their logistics footprint, inform business decisions and identify opportunities to reduce emissions. The methodology is aligned with ISO 14083, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the UN-led Global Green Freight Action Plan and CDP reporting.

Alongside the updated Framework, Smart Freight Centre has published a crosswalk document explaining changes between versions. Members already using GLEC are encouraged to consult this document to assess how the update affects their existing calculations and reporting practices.
