Transportation & Logistics Decarbonization
facilitating dialogue across the automotive value chain to identify and develop common approaches, tools, and resources to measure, report and accelerate decarbonization efforts within transportation and logistics.
In 2024, Suppliers Partnership for the Environment (SP) formed a new Transportation & Logistics Decarbonization Work Group to provide a forum to facilitate dialogue across the automotive value chain to identify and develop common approaches, tools, and resources to measure, report and accelerate decarbonization efforts associated with transportation and logistics.
As companies in the automotive industry work toward decarbonization targets and deepen their engagement on Scope 3 emissions, there is an opportunity to seek to promote more consistency in the definitions, tools and methods used in calculating and reporting transportation emissions to minimize duplication of effort.
Key objectives for the new work group, which is being co-chaired by General Motors and Penske Transportation Solutions, include to:
- Identify or develop common definitions, tools, and/or guidance to seek to improve consistency within the industry in collecting and reporting carbon emissions associated with road and rail transportation and logistics.
- Promote development, evaluation and/or sharing of industry best practices, tools, and innovations to support companies in optimizing the carbon footprint of road and rail transportation and logistics activities.
The current scope of work is focused on road and rail logistics relevant to automotive supply chain, with potential to expand to address a broader range of air and sea logistics topics overtime.
