The Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) developed the GLEC Framework: the globally recognized methodology for harmonized calculation and reporting of the logistics GHG footprint across the multi-modal supply chain. It can be implemented by shippers, carriers and logistics service providers. Designed to inform business decisions and steer efforts to reduce emissions. It is in alignment with: ISO 14083, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the UN-led Global Green Freight Action Plan and CDP reporting.

The purpose of the crosswalk document is to outline and explain the changes made to the GLEC Framework between different versions. It serves as a guide to help users of the Framework understand how the new version differs from the previous one, ensuring a smooth transition to the updated guidelines.
