The Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) is a voluntary partnership of companies, associations and programs, backed by leading experts, and led by the Smart Freight Centre (SFC). GLEC commits to the consistent calculation of emissions from logistics operations worldwide, to empower business to use this information for reporting and decision-making that leads to improved efficiency. We published the first (and only) global framework for logistics emissions methodologies in June 2016, which helps companies to quantify their progress in a consistent and comparable way. Click here to download the GLEC Framework for Logistics Emissions Methodologies.
The GLEC aims to achieve:
- A common industry vision for further development and use of harmonized logistics emission calculations applicable to all modes and transhipment centres, across all global regions, that can be used to improve decision making and implementation of efficiency and emission reduction measures, as well as for all leading emissions reporting platforms;
- Maintain GLEC’s position as the leading industry partnership to realize this vision;
- Proactive methodological alignment of existing and emerging industry-led/backed green freight initiatives across modes and global regions;
- Corporate leadership by setting and achieving science-based logistics emission reduction targets aligned with global, strategic climate goals and initiatives (as set out in SFC’s Smart Freight Leadership Framework, SBTI and the Global Green Freight Action Plan);
- Widespread implementation of the GLEC Framework by GLEC member companies and their logistics supply chain partners, supported by calculation tools, green freight programs, standardization bodies and policymakers;
- Active engagement and communication with the global freight sector and other key stakeholders, e.g. government, scientific/research institutes, NGOs, development agencies, to ensure the use of the GLEC Framework as a basis for international standards, calculation tools, green freight programs, and policy interventions.
