*Last updated: 2026-06-26*

> Environmental impact reporting in logistics under Scope 1, 2, and 3 provides a structured framework for measuring greenhouse gas emissions across the entire supply chain, based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

Environmental impact reporting in logistics under Scope 1, 2, and 3 provides a structured framework for measuring greenhouse gas emissions across the entire supply chain, based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources – diesel in company-operated trucks or energy used in warehouses. Scope 2 captures indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, or district heating. For logistics operators, Scope 3 is typically the largest category by far: it encompasses all remaining indirect emissions along the value chain, from subcontractor haulage and packaging materials to upstream supplier activities. As regulatory requirements tighten – notably through the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) – achieving a complete and auditable Scope 3 inventory has become the most significant practical challenge for the sector.
