The GLEC Framework (Global Logistics Emissions Council) is the globally recognised standard for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas emissions from freight transport and logistics operations. Version 3.2, published in 2023, is aligned with ISO 14083:2023, the official international standard for transport chain greenhouse gas quantification.
GLEC v3.2 defines how to calculate emissions across all transport modes: road, rail, inland waterway, maritime, and air freight. It uses standardised Well-to-Wheel (WTW) emission factors, ensuring consistent, comparable results across different carriers and geographies.
For EU freight carriers, a GLEC v3.2 report is now the de facto standard required by major shippers — Amazon, IKEA, DB Schenker, Maersk, major automotive suppliers — when responding to tender requests or fulfilling supplier sustainability requirements under CSRD.
Why EU Carriers Need a GLEC Report in 2026
The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) Phase 2 is now in force, covering companies with 250 or more employees. These companies must report their full value-chain Scope 3 emissions, including transport and logistics.
This creates a direct upstream requirement: your shipper clients need your COâ‚‚ data to fulfil their own CSRD obligations. Carriers who cannot provide GLEC-compliant emissions data risk being removed from supplier lists in favour of carriers who can.
- ✓Amazon EU: CO₂ data required for all transport partners since 2025
- ✓IKEA: Scope 3 carrier emissions included in annual sustainability reports
- ✓Lidl, Aldi, Metro: freight RFQs now include mandatory CO₂ data fields
- ✓German automotive tier-1 suppliers: CSRD-triggered carrier data requests from Q1 2026
- ✓EU public procurement: sustainability criteria including carrier CO₂ performance

Per-Shipment Breakdown
Emissions for each individual shipment, fully auditable at line-item level — required for shipper CSRD appendices.
Transport Mode Analysis
Emissions split by mode: road, rail, sea, air — with modal share percentages as per ISO 14083 reporting structure.
Emission Factor Documentation
GLEC v3.2 emission factors applied, with source references suitable for shipper and auditor verification.
Methodology Statement
ISO 14083:2023 compliance declaration, ready for inclusion in CSRD reporting appendices and tender responses.
Period & Scope Definition
Defined WTW scope, reporting period, vehicle type classifications and boundary conditions per GLEC v3.2.
How to Generate a GLEC v3.2 Report in 15 Minutes

Frequently Asked Questions about GLEC v3.2 Reports
What is a GLEC v3.2 report?
A GLEC v3.2 report is a standardised carbon emissions report for freight transport following the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework version 3.2. It calculates COâ‚‚ equivalent emissions for each shipment using standardised Well-to-Wheel emission factors aligned with ISO 14083:2023.
Who needs a GLEC v3.2 report?
EU freight carriers and transport operators whose shipper clients are subject to CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) need GLEC reports. Shippers must report Scope 3 supply chain emissions, which includes your transport services. From 2026, this affects companies with 250+ employees.
How is a GLEC v3.2 report calculated?
GLEC v3.2 uses Well-to-Wheel (WTW) emission factors for each transport mode (road, rail, sea, air). The formula is: CO₂e = transport activity (tonne-km) × emission factor (kg CO₂e/tonne-km). LogisticsAI automates this calculation from your TMS CSV export, applying the correct GLEC v3.2 factors automatically.
What is the difference between GLEC v3.2 and ISO 14083?
GLEC (Global Logistics Emissions Council) Framework is the industry-developed methodology. ISO 14083 is the official international standard, published in 2023, which is based on and aligned with GLEC. A report compliant with GLEC v3.2 is also compliant with ISO 14083:2023 — they use the same calculation methodology.
How long does it take to generate a GLEC report with LogisticsAI?
With LogisticsAI, generating a GLEC v3.2 report takes under 15 minutes: export your shipment data as CSV from your TMS, upload it, and download a shipper-ready PDF. Manual calculation by a sustainability consultant typically takes 2–4 weeks and costs €1,000–€5,000.
