REPORT

No. This report specifically examines your Scope 3 emissions within the transport sector. 

Baxter Freight’s Sustainable Freight Network (SFN) focuses on Categories 4 (upstream transport and distribution) and 9 (downstream transport and distribution), providing a detailed view of your supply chain’s carbon footprint.

For many product‑based businesses, transport and distribution are major contributors to overall emissions. Tracking Categories 4 and 9 helps you:

• Meet customer and investor expectations on sustainability

• Comply with upcoming ESG and carbon reporting regulations

• Identify practical carbon reduction opportunities

• Strengthen your brand’s commitment to sustainable logistics

Scope 3 emissions reporting measures indirect greenhouse gas emissions in your value chain, outside your direct operations. For businesses using freight and logistics, this includes emissions from shipping, road transport, air freight and rail.

Baxter Freight’s Sustainable Freight Network (SFN) focuses on Category 4 (upstream transport and distribution) and Category 9 (downstream transport and distribution), giving you a detailed view of your supply chain carbon footprint.

With our Scope 3 Carbon Emissions reporting, we collect and analyse data from all your transport modes – road, sea, air and rail. Using the GLEC (Global Logistics Emissions Council) Framework, we ensure your data is calculated in line with globally recognised standards.

You receive clear, tailored reports (weekly, monthly or annually) showing your emissions across your logistics journeys.

Yes. Our Scope 3 reporting is fully GLEC compliant, which means it meets international best practice for calculating and reporting logistics emissions.

This ensures your carbon data is consistent, credible and ready to be used in sustainability reports, tenders and regulatory submissions.

Measuring your CO₂ emissions is more than regulatory compliance. It gives you visibility over your carbon impact, helps identify reduction opportunities and strengthens your sustainability credentials with customers, investors and stakeholders. It also prepares your business for evolving regulations and industry standards.

We collect relevant information about your shipments including; distances, fuel type, vehicle type and size. We then input the data into our GLEC-verified calculator, which will then produce the emissions on each journey leg. 

As per the customer request, we can then calculate the total emissions and send them to you in a certified report that can be added to your accounting. 

Yes. If your brand already has strong sustainability credentials, our reporting gives you specific visibility (especially ours for logistics purposes) to validate claims, track performance against science‑based targets and improve CDP, or other ESG disclosures.

For companies new to carbon reporting, it provides a practical first step to understand your emissions and start reducing them.

Measuring transport emissions helps:

• Achieve net zero or science‑based targets

• Meet customer and retailer demands for supply chain transparency

• Prepare for future regulations like the CSRD or SECR

• Reduce operational costs through efficiency and modal optimisation

Many large customers now request Scope 3 emissions data from their suppliers, due to having to report under regulation themselves.

With Baxter Freight’s GLEC‑compliant reporting, you can provide accurate, trusted carbon figures quickly, strengthening your value as a sustainable supplier.

No. Even SMEs now face growing pressure from customers, investors and regulators to measure and disclose supply chain emissions.

Whether you’re a large brand with an established sustainability strategy or a smaller company starting out, our reporting helps you demonstrate commitment and credibility.

As part of our brand, we want to build a sustainable future within logistics. As part of our Sustainable Freight Network (SFN), we combine expert logistics expertise with reporting to provide practical carbon reduction strategies. 

We can work with you to make actionable insights in order to lower emissions whether through electric vehicles or carbon certificates. 

You’ll also get the dedicated support from a team that understands the realities of global supply chains.
