01 · The report you get

The report you receive hasno measurement of your freight.

Most emissions reports from logistics providers show only annual totals. The emissions from the shipments you actually paid for are not in there. Your reported share is simply the total, allocated by volume.

02 · Where the number comes from

Have you ever asked howthat number was made?

Companies estimate total emissions from annual fuel spend, then allocate them by volume or revenue. The factors are set conservatively high, which overstates the shipper's share. That is why the figure barely moves no matter how much you reduce.

03 · The names are public

You already know the shipperswho are demanding this.

HP, Kering, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Dow, Unilever, Inditex — in public documents, these companies already require transport suppliers to report emissions calculated in accordance with GLEC and ISO 14083. Emissions are calculated per transport service, not per company. And on 1 June 2026 the EU brought CountEmissionsEU, its harmonised transport-emissions accounting rule, into force. One question remains: when will you demand it?

04 · One clause

You don't have to measure it.One contract clause can.

"The carrier shall operate a certified third-party measurement system based on ISO 14083 and report paid-leg emissions per shipment." That single clause deploys Carbon DTG and LCS Cloud throughout the subcontracted chain, and you start receiving measured reports instead of estimates.

05 · The certification

The certification you canpoint to already exists.

LCS's measurement system holds SFC verification of ISO-14083 conformity, the to cover every transport mode on an ISO 14083 basis, and its accuracy has been verified across 1,800 KOLAS-accredited test runs. When your contract says a certified system, this is the certification.

Publicly confirmed · demand and response · 2021–2026

Both sides of the market have already moved.

On one side, global shippers require measured reporting from their transport suppliers in public documents. On the other, logistics providers answer at waybill level. The only part not moving yet is your subcontracted chain.
