Gaining Momentum
SFC Membership and Partners’ engagement has been growing significantly in a multitude of new programs: the transition from “GLEC” to ISO 14083, the SFC “Book & Claim Community”, in “Clean Cargo” and soon the SFC “Air Transport Community” as well as the “SFC Exchange Network” and the “Sustainable Freight Buyers Alliance”. SFC leadership is globally recognized in the first line of global climate NGOs like WRI, CalStart, ICCT and T&E with SFC ́s specific focus on aligning shippers and LSP for decarbonization. This was underpinned in various global conferences incl. COP27, UN Climate Week and Clean Energy Ministerial, where we were able to contribute.
We remained committed to reaching a net zero freight and logistics sector by 2050. It was the year in which we onboarded “Clean Cargo” to work with our members in the ocean container industry on expanding the “data sharing platform”. We launched ZEFI, our Zero Freight Initiative in China and expanded our activities around capability building and decarbonization pilots.
Reflecting on the year 2022, I feel proud of the team and all of our members & partners.
