AP Moller – Maersk joins forces with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the Smart Freight Center and more than 25 global companies to jointly create an actionable and actionable guide to quantify the impact of end-to-end GHG logistics emissions from suppliers to develop to the end customer, according to the company’s press release.

This initiative aims to increase transparency about carbon emissions and work together towards net zero logistics.

Supported by the World Economic Forum and based on analytical insights from McKinsey & Company, the guide is intended to cover the entire range – from supplier to customer.

The consortium will build on and complement two existing frameworks.

The Smart Freight Center’s Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework 2.0 – the globally recognized methodology for accounting and reporting logistics emissions.

The WBCSD Pathfinder Framework – the guide to accounting and sharing product lifecycle emissions.

The guidelines will be published by the end of 2022, with an intended formal launch during the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2023.

The organizations participating in this initiative are:
AP Moller – Maersk, ADEME, Aldi Süd, Amazon, APL Logistics, ArcelorMittal, CMA-CGM, Colgate-Palmolive, Convoy, DOW Chemical, DPDgroup, Deutsche Post DHL Group, EcoTransIT World, European Shippers Council, Kuehne+Nagel, Nestlé, PSA International, Posti, project44, Scania, Selfridges, Siemens, TK Blue Agency, Uber, Unilever, UPS, Volkswagen.
