ISO 14083: a key standard for the ecological transition
ISO 14083:2023 is an international standard that provides guidelines for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the transport of goods and people.
It applies to all modes of transport, including road, rail, sea, river and air, and covers the entire logistics chain, from point of departure to point of arrival.
This standard provides a framework for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions in the transport sector, enabling companies to transparently measure the environmental impact of their transport and logistics activities.
Thanks to this compliance, Weenlo offers its customers a tool that is aligned with international best practices and key regulatory references (Transport Code, ADEME guides, European and international standards). Companies can therefore better analyse their carbon footprint and be sure that they are using the right levers to reduce their emissions.
STM: a robust calculation methodology
STM was audited in accordance with ISO 14083 in 2024. The methodology allows direct and indirect emissions to be calculated while taking into account the different phases of transport, including loading and unloading.
This approach is based on the maximum use of primary data:
- Mode of transport,
- Routing and segmentation,
- Shipping and destination points
- UN/LOCODE,
- Geographical coordinates,
- Address, postcode, city, country
- Transport Chain Elements (TCEs) characterised by:
- Flow type: FTL, LTL,
- Vehicle category,
- Energy type,
- Goods transported,
- Temperature-controlled or non-temperature-controlled.
Based on these elements, STM can calculate:
- Distances travelled,
- Energy consumption,
- Greenhouse gas emissions in WTW and TTW,
- Quantities of air pollutants.
If certain data is missing, the tool can draw on a default database, enabling it to model complex transport chains.
Continuous regulatory monitoring also ensures that the methodology is regularly updated to remain compliant with regulatory and legal developments in France and internationally.
A major step forward for committed companies
Our calculation methodology, now compliant with ISO 14083 requirements, marks a key milestone in our commitment to more responsible transport. By enabling companies to better manage their emissions, Weenlo is actively contributing to the transition to greener logistics.
But this is only the beginning. With this recognition, Weenlo is reinforcing its ambition to make sustainable transport a reality for businesses.
A big thank you to Anthony Jan, Head of Sustainability at Weenlo, who led the effort and made it possible to obtain this validation certificate.
