Why should I take this course?

This course introduces the GLEC Framework (Global Logistics Emissions Council) and how to adopt it. By the end of the course you will understand how to apply the basics of calculating and reporting logistics GHG emissions across global multimodal supply chains according to the GLEC Framework.
This self-paced e-learning is designed as an introduction to the GLEC Framework for sustainability and logistics professionals, as well as fleet operators who want to calculate and set the basis to reduce logistics emissions. 

The GLEC Framework serves as a primary guideline on how to implement ISO 14083 compliant reporting. If you want to calculate your emissions compliant with ISO 14083 then this training is for you. The course helps you and your organization to apply and understand the basics of calculating and reporting of GHG emissions for your global supply chain.

After completing this course you are well equipped to join our GLEC & ISO 14083 Calculation Workshop.

Course Bundle Available!

This course is also available as part of a course bundle made up of two courses focused on The GLEC Framework and ISO 14083, the Introduction to the GLEC Framework and GLEC & ISO 14083 Calculation Workshop.
