Global Green Logistics: Making Emissions Accounting Work for Business
Forum at 'Transport Logistic', Messe München | 9 May 2017 | 15:30-17:00 | Forum IV, Hall B2 (West)
Fraunhofer IML and Smart Freight Centre (SFC) invite you to join a 1,5 hour forum at 'Transport Logistic', the leading trade fair for logistics and transport, to discuss how emissions accounting can work for business.
Actions to reduce the environmental impact of transport and logistics services as part of an integrated supply chain are gaining momentum. Policy makers strive for ambitious reduction targets and reasonable frameworks. Businesses see this as an important area of competition and are taking responsibility in decarbonizing the logistics chains.
The forum "Global Green Logistics: Making Emissions Accounting Work for Business" hightlights current initiatives and projects focused on harmonized logistics emissions accounting and the opportunities for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.
Experts and business leaders will present on and discuss the following topics: the first universal carbon accounting method across global multi-modal logistics supply chains by the Global Logistics Emission Council (GLEC); deployment of green transport - towards eco-labels for logistics (DG MOVE project LEARN); global efforts to put logistics emissions accounting into practice.
