Carbon Reduction Plan for Logistics and Transport Companies
If you move goods or people under government contracts, PPN 006 applies to you. CarbonVerified calculates your fleet emissions accurately and generates a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan built around the realities of a transport operation.
Emissions sources in Logistics & Transport
Your Carbon Reduction Plan must quantify all material emission sources. Here are the typical sources for your sector.
Scope 1 – Direct Emissions
Emissions from sources you own or control directly.
- HGV, LGV, and van fleet fuel consumption (diesel and AdBlue)
- Refrigerated trailer units and temperature-controlled fleet
- Fuel for forklifts, yard trucks, and warehouse plant
- Gas heating in depots and distribution centres
- Company cars and grey fleet for management and sales staff
Scope 2 – Indirect Energy
Emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
- Electricity in depots, warehouses, and offices
- Electricity for electric vehicle fleet charging
Scope 3 – Value Chain
Indirect emissions across your supply chain and activities.
- Subcontracted hauliers and owner-drivers
- Fuel card spend attributable to third-party drivers
- Employee commuting across shift-based workforce
- Packaging materials and consumables procurement
- End-of-life tyre and vehicle disposal
Every CRP submitted under PPN 006 must meet the same six-point standard regardless of sector — covering baseline footprint, net zero commitment, interim milestones, Scope 1 and 2 data, Scope 3 disclosure, and a signed director declaration. Full CRP requirements →
Common challenges for Logistics & Transport suppliers
These are the data and reporting hurdles we see most often in this sector.
Fleet fuel data sits across multiple fuel cards, telematics systems, and supplier invoices
Subcontracted and spot-market haulage makes supply chain emissions difficult to track
Refrigerated trailer engine hours and fuel burn are often not captured separately to tractor units
Shift patterns and widespread geographic coverage make commuting surveys complex to run
