Transport emission tracking is the systematic measurement and monitoring of greenhouse gases—primarily CO₂—generated by the movement of goods. Logistics providers and freight forwarders collect data on kilometres travelled, fuel type, vehicle class, and load factor to calculate the transport-related emissions of their customers. These emissions typically fall under a company's Scope 3 category, covering upstream and downstream supply chain activities. The results feed into sustainability reports, highlight reduction opportunities, and support compliance with growing regulatory demands. Unlike a one-off emission calculation, tracking involves continuous documentation and periodic verification over time.
