Logistics Service Carbon Footprint

📘 Overview

This feature introduces a structured request-and-submission flow for logistics service carbon footprint data, aligning with ISO 14083 standards.

By enabling primary data requests directly from suppliers, customers gain greater transparency, data quality, and trust in reported logistics emissions. The streamlined creation flows and clear identification of logistics elements reduce complexity, making it easier to integrate logistics data into existing carbon accounting processes.

Ultimately, this feature lays the groundwork for more complete, auditable, and actionable supply-chain emissions insights.

🚀 Key Capabilities

  • Direct supplier data collection – Customers can request logistics-specific emission data directly through the Emission Factor Request flow.

  • ISO 14083 alignment – The workflow follows the international standard for logistics GHG accounting, ensuring consistent structure and comparability.

  • End-to-end visibility – Both customers and suppliers can monitor the progress of requests, submissions, and reviews inside Cozero.

  • Structured transport chain modeling – Suppliers can define logistics services in detail through transport chain elements, ensuring accuracy across all shipment legs and modes.

  • Seamless data integration – Once validated, emissions data becomes available for reporting and analytics throughout the Cozero platform.

🧭 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a Logistics Data Request

  • Navigate to LOG -> Emission Factors 

  • Click Request Emission Factor and choose Logistics service carbon footprint.

  • Fill in the Supplier Details with:

    • Supplier name and email information

    • Service details (e.g, unit/product, code, year, supplier deadline, country)

  • Click Send your request.
    The supplier receives an email notification prompting them to provide logistics service emission data.

2. Supplier Receives and Reviews the Request

  • The supplier gets an email notification with a link to Cozero.

  • In Cozero, they can open the request and view details such as the requested service and period.

  • The supplier’s Cozero view will only have access to the requested module which in this case is Emissions. And they will be required to enter data. 

3. Supplier Creates a Logistics Service Profile

Next, the supplier must define the log profile, including:

  • Initially they need to confirm the product name and product code (both fields cannot be changed as set by the requestor).
  • Next they need to add the product version and period/date interval for the log. 

4. Supplier Builds a Transport Chain Instance

Next, the supplier models the actual transport chain:

  • Add transport chain elements (legs or segments of the shipment).

  • For each element, specify:

    • Name of route/travel element (e.g, Berlin to Hamburg)

    • Mode of transport (e.g, Air Freight, Road logistics etc.)

    • Type of data (e.g, Fuel consumption, distance etc.)

    • Activity (e.g, Biodiesel etc.)

    • Activity origin (Country of origin)

    • Quantity and units (e.g, 20 Liters etc.)

    Save and calculate total emissions for the full logistics service.

This structured chain ensures all relevant emissions sources are captured accurately.

5. Supplier Submits the Data

After completing all elements:

  • The supplier reviews the calculated results.

  • Clicks Submit to send the data back to the requesting customer.

  • The submission status changes to “Awaiting Customer Review.”

6. Customer Reviews and Accepts the Data

  • Customers receive a notification that new logistics emissions data is ready for review.

  • Navigate to Log -> Emission factors under outgoing requests section, open the submission, review the data, and check for completeness and consistency.

  • If everything meets requirements, click Accept. You can 'request review' or 'reject' the response in case you think the data or information is inconsistent or faulty.

The emission factor now becomes available for use across reports and logs in Cozero
