What is Green Freight Europe?
• Green Freight Europe aims to be recognized as the leading independent
voluntary program for improving environmental performance of road
freight transport in Europe
•
The program drives reductions of carbon emissions by:
– Establishing a platform for monitoring and reporting of carbon emissions, to
assist in the procurement of transportation services and based on existing
standards
– Establishing a certification system to reward shippers and carriers who fully
participate in the program
– Promoting collaboration between carriers and shippers in driving
improvement actions and monitoring progress
– A platform to share best practices, promote innovations and communicate
sustainability improvements on European road freight .
