Test Outline Optional choices

Data collection Transport activity Data Fuel Data Other What transport activity data are available now (e.g. points of load and unload, ton- kilometers shipped, etc) the nature and amount of goods transported information about the distance that the goods are transported Fuel Data What emission data are available now (e.g. primary fuel and electricity data; no primary data, what default values?) Invoices for fuel purchased The company fuel management system Fueling records for the individual vehicles in the fleet Data from telematics systems that record the fuel used vehicle by vehicle Other What data can be obtained through corporate IT systems? What data are to be requested from the service provider?

Reporting The GLEC Framework sets as its norm that the data is transferred in the form of a consumption factor for the required TSC One benefit of the TSC approach is that it is based on data aggregated to a level such that the carrier does not share the raw data with their customer, so protecting potential commercially confidential information Shipper converts TCF into the amount of CO2e Compute shipment emissions (self) Multiply TCF with the number of ton-kilometres related to the shipment Multiply the resulting fuel use with the emission factor Example of diesel emission factors 3,90 kg CO2e per kg diesel, or 3,24 kg CO2e per litre diesel

Test set up Goals of the trial Current practice of carbon footprinting What are the reasons for taking part in the trial? What are the company’s expectations with respect to application of GHG computation / footprinting framework? What is to be changed with respect to the current practice? What is the physical / organizational scope of the trial (e.g. all transport activities of the company, specific department, specific trade lane, etc) What is the expected degree of reliance on data from the partners (service providers)? Other? Current practice of carbon footprinting Do you participate in an industry program, such as Green Freight Europe or Connekt Green and Lean? What is the scope (boundaries) of the current carbon footprinting? What method is used? Do you use a software tool? Do you use GLEC Framework or GLEC-compliant tool? How often is it carried out? What data is used and how is it sourced? What is done with the output of calculation? Who (what department) is performing computations? How is it reported and to whom? Has the impact of footprinting / emission calculations been monitored and how? What currently works well and what needs to be improved? Data What transport activity data are available now (e.g. points of load and unload, ton-kilometers shipped, etc) What emission data are available now (e.g. primary fuel and electricity data; no primary data, what default values?) What data can be obtained through corporate IT systems? What data are to be requested from the service provider?

Test Benefits and expectations What benefits can companies expect? Support on logistics carbon accounting and reporting Introduce newcomers to logistics carbon accounting and learn from other companies Help prepare for logistics carbon reporting to customers Help solve specific issues companies face in carbon accounting Explore the use of generated data to improve reporting and decision-making Identify opportunities for emission reductions Recognition of companies in their carbon accounting efforts in the LEARN project Influence on future carbon accounting standards and related policies What are we asking companies to do? Collaborate with existing business partners for a selected logistics supply chain to calculate the carbon footprint, based on the GLEC Framework, with support from LEARN partners Allocate resources and make data available – companies retain full ownership of their data Provide feedback on gaps, challenges and opportunities in applying the methodology Help articulate the business case for logistics carbon accounting Make main results available for a published case study Give suggestions on how carbon accounting can be reflected in a label to recognize company efforts 15 08 June 2017
