Verification of your Carbon Footprint in the Transport sector

ISO 14083 - Standardized methodology for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions arising from transport chain operations

Despite significant optimization efforts in the logistics sector, rising greenhouse gas emissions remain a major challenge. In addition to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires companies to provide detailed sustainability reporting, the EU is advancing further initiatives to make freight transport more environmentally friendly – including the CountEmissionsEU regulation for tracking transport-related greenhouse gas emissions.
Standardized methodologies and reference values, such as those provided by ISO 14083, are essential tools for transparent and comparable emissions calculations. With our services, we ensure that your reporting is precise and reliable, enabling fair comparisons of transport services and facilitating the selection of more sustainable options.
Are you interested in verifying your greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with ISO 14083, and would you like to learn more about it? Then don’t hesitate to contact us!

CountEmissionsEU: Standardized Greenhouse gas Calculation for Transport

In July 2023, the European Commission introduced CountEmissionsEU, a proposal for a unified methodology to calculate greenhouse gas emissions from transport services. Covering both freight and passenger transport, the initiative aims to provide reliable and comparable emissions data. While its use is not mandatory, organizations choosing to disclose transport-related greenhouse gas emissions must follow the prescribed methodology. To reduce the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), they are exempt from mandatory verification.
The proposal is progressing through the European Parliament, with the Committees on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) and on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) leading the discussions. Parliament adopted its first-reading position in April 2024 and voted to begin trilogue negotiations with the Council in December 2024.

Independent Verification of Your Emission Calculations in Compliance with ISO 14083

We offer independent audits of your emission calculations and reporting in accordance with ISO 14083, based on our accredited process under ISO 14064-3. By assessing and verifying the greenhouse gas emissions of your transport services, you can enhance your company’s climate performance and optimize your services. Our verification provides a comprehensive overview of potential weaknesses and valuable insights for reducing your greenhouse gas emissions.
Procedure for the verification of your greenhouse gas emissions
The assessment will take you through the following steps:
1. Submission of documents
For example:
  • Carbon footprint report including reporting and organizational limitations
  • Quantification approach and model
  • Greenhouse gas information management
2. Verification of calculations
As part of a “desk review,” the submitted documents are checked for their completeness, their plausibility and their consistency with the established norms and standards.
3. (Remote) audit
Verification of the data and information submitted in an on-site audit, alternatively “remotely” via video connection and screen sharing.
4. Audit report
Evaluation of the data on the basis of the verification and/or validation standard and documentation of the results in an audit report.
5. Validation and/or verification statement
After the audit is completed, a positive or negative assessment (with non-conformities) is issued.
6. Reverification
Annual check for regular monitoring. A separate verification is required for the carbon footprint reports from each reporting period. For this purpose, steps 1-5 described above are repeated.
