The global industry standard for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas emissions across multi-modal logistics supply chains.
The Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework provides a harmonized methodology for logistics greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting. It establishes standard emission factors, allocation principles, and reporting boundaries for road, rail, air, and maritime freight operations, enabling consistent calculation of Well-to-Wheel (WTW) carbon emissions per transport shipment.
Powers the core calculation engine for all freight shipments on TrustedTrucks. Telematics data, vehicle load factors, empty running legs, and verified fuel consumption are dynamically converted into GLEC-compliant carbon footprints and certified on-chain.
E = W * I_WTW, where W is transport work in tonne-kilometers (tkm) and I_WTW is the Well-to-Wheel emission intensity factor (g CO2e/tkm). Accounts for empty running attribution and cold-chain reefer energy consumption.
Must not be described as a regulatory carbon credit issuer or statutory offset authority. GLEC defines calculation and allocation methodologies, not statutory cap-and-trade allowances.
