What is the GLEC Framework
The global method for calculation and reporting of logistics emissions
Comparing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) across different modes of transport can be like comparing apples with oranges.
That’s why the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) developed the GLEC Framework: the only globally recognized methodology for harmonized calculation and reporting of the logistics GHG footprint across the multi-modal supply chain. It can be implemented by shippers, carriers and logistics service providers.
Designed to inform business decisions and steer efforts to reduce emissions. It is in alignment with:
