The program drives reductions of carbon emissions by:

1. Establishing a platform for monitoring and reporting of carbon emissions, to assist in the procurement of transportation services and based on existing standards

2. Promoting collaboration between carriers and shippers in driving improvement actions and monitoring progress

3. Establishing a certification system to reward shippers and carriers who fully participate in the program

It is also the platform for companies to share best practices, promote innovations and communicate sustainability improvements on European road freight .

Furthermore the programme fosters cooperation with other related initiatives, programmes and working groups globally.

Who we are?
Today the initiative is backed by 80+ companies including multinational shippers, carriers, retailers and associations; the membership is growing almost daily. The European Shippers' Council provides the secretariat for the programme, to help steer further progress towards achievement of the goals.
