3 Part III - p. 3 Definition of temporal, geographical and organizational boundaries of the logistics system (step 1.0) Temporal boundaries - One year (12 months), alternatively Company-specific period (e.g. fiscal year) Calendar year (1) Geographical boundaries on three levels - Country - Continent - Global including all logistics and administrative sites, as well as, transport processes within, to (1) and from the geographical region Country or continent Organizational boundaries - Choice of equity share or functional control approach (2) Assessment scope: (1) Note on double counting: In case of country and continent assessment, double counting of cross-border transportation when summing overall emissions. Focus on outgoing transport for a consistent sum of processes concerned (2) As defined and described by [GHG Protocol, p. 16ff]

4 Part III - p. 4 Required input data with focus on transport emissions (step 1.1) Specification of relevant input data (focus transport emissions) for the logistics system defined by temporal, geographical and organizational boundaries Please specify the overall transport performance for each transport mode. How much of that transport performance is sub-contracted (i.e. external)? Which share of the external transport performance is igerated? [tkm] [tkm] [%] [%] Which share of the internal transport performance is igerated? road tkm total road tkm ext %tkm road,ext %tkm road,int rail tkm total rail tkm ext %tkm rail,ext %tkm rail,int barge tkm total barge tkm ext Refrigerated transport generally irrelevant sea tkm total sea tkm ext %tkm sea,ext %tkm sea,int air tkm total air tkm ext Refrigeration for assessment generally irrelevant (1) (1) Refrigerated air transport is generally realized on dry-ice basis, which is irrelevant for the GHG emission assessment.

5 Part III - p. 5 Relevant links and assumptions for the calculation of transport emissions (step 1.1) (1) The overall transport performance is linked to all transport modes, no other transport is covered by the defined logistics system. tkm total = tkm road rail total + tkm total + tkm barge total + tkm sea air total + tkm total The transport performance of each mode is either realized by the fleet owned or controlled by the reporting company (internal) or by sub-contracted service providers (external) tkm total = tkm ext + tkm int The overall transport performance is either igerated or ambient. The specific temperature is not further specified. amb amb 1 = %tkm road,ext + %tkm road,ext = %tkm road,int + %tkm road,int The emissions from igerated transport are calculated using those from ambient mode transport increased by a mode-specific correction factor c

6 Part III - p. 6 Relevant links and assumptions for the calculation of transport emissions (step 1.1) (2) The transport performance is defined by cargo multiplied with real transport distance tkm = m g d g If the real transport distance is unknown, it is possible to use a fictional direct distance (great circle distance GCD), including a mode-specific correction factor (1). mode d g = d c km or mode For air freight d g = d + stp + 1 c km In case of multi-modal transport chains: - The emissions caused by pre- and on-carriage (e.g. road transport) shall be calculated using the relevant transport performance [tkm] and the respective emissions factor of the mode [kg emissions / tkm].

8 Part III - p. 8 Ecological assessment of logistics sites The Green Logistics method distinguishes between two types of logistics sites - Transshipment sites Examples: terminals, cross-docking hubs No relevant warehousing covered - Warehouses Warehousing operations need to be assessed Commissioning/picking operations are possible (so-called distribution centers) The logistics sites might be realized with or without building shells. Further general remarks and background information on logistics sites are given in the Annex.

18 Part III - p. 18 Relevant links and assumptions for the calculation of emissions caused by administration sites, employee commuting and business travel (step 1.1) Due to an appropriate selection of emission factors, - The electricity consumption shall be specified country-wise. - The consumption of energy carriers and igerants shall be material-specific.

22 Relevance Part III - p. 22 Step 1.3: Identification of relevant and less relevant sub-aspects (1) Sub-aspect [kg CO 2 e] road,ext E t road,int E t rail,ext E t rail,int E t barge,ext E t barge,int E t sea,ext E t sea,int E t air,ext E t Sub-aspect [kg CO 2 e] Share Share cumulated Sub-aspect % Sub-aspect 2 Sub-aspect 3 Sub-aspect 4 E total 100 % 100 % / E t air,int ext E site int E site E admin E employee E travel E total Those sub-aspects, whose share of emissions is less than 1 %, shall be defined as less relevant ( ) and may be left unconsidered in step 2. The cumulated share of less relevant sub-aspects shall be less than 5 %. (2) If latter is not the case, all those sub-aspects shall be included, until maximum 5 % were considered as less relevant. (1) Here, only GHG emissions are considered. In case of multiple environmental indicators (in addition to GHG emissions), the eco-indicator 99 method may support the identification step accordingly. (2) Referring to [Klöpffer 2009, p. 31]

25 Part III - p. 25 Step 1.5: Definition of level of detail of the emission calculation in step 2.1 For comparability reasons of the results, the Green Logistics method defines a minimum standard for the level of detail of the emission calculation. Higher levels of detail are optional. Minimum standard for the level of detail of emission calculation (step 2.1) For determining the calculation approach in step 2.1, the reporting company shall consider both, Responsibility for the sub-aspect (internal process, contracted service), i.e. - According to GHG-Protocol Scope 1 and 2 processes Calculation approach A or B Compliance with»20 % rule«, which says that - Maximum 20 % of the emissions determined in step 1»Screening phase«shall be considered key figure based (Approach C) in step 2.1. The other 80 % shall be assessed consumption based and/or distance based (Approach A and/or B) in step 2.1. Furthermore, if external logistics services (Scope 3) already been assessed according to the Green Logistics method (1) need to be considered, it is possible to integrate the emissions declared by the logistics service provider. The relevant share of calculation approaches used by the LSP is considered respectively. (1) To be verified externally according to Green Logistics certification scheme

26 Part III - p. 26 Transition period for a simplified minimum standard for the emission calculation The current and mid-term data availability requires a»simplified«minimum standard for emission calculation. Therefore, the Green Logistics method provides an optional transition period until 2020 with lower requirements concerning the level of detail. Sub-aspect Scope 1&2»Simplified«minimum standard (Transition period until 2020) 50 % Approach A or B 50 % Approach C Green Logistics minimum standard (Balance year 2021 & after) 100 % Approach A Scope 3 Approach C 20 % rule (Approach B) (1) Scope 1&2 50 % Approach A 50 % Approach C 100 % Approach A Scope 3 Approach C 20 % rule (Approach A) Scope 1&2 50 % Approach A or B 50 % Approach C 100 % Approach A Scope 3 Approach C Approach C Scope 1&2 Approach A Approach A Scope 3 Approach C Approach C (1) Scope 3 transport processes may be calculated according approach B to be detailed, approach A is not required

27 Free choice Part III - p. 27 Underlying decisions (step 1.5) Today, scope 1 and 2 processes can be assessed consumption based to 50 %. The emissions for administration sites mark exceptions here, they can be assessed to 100 % consumption based from the beginning. A uniform method (e.g., same percentages, deadlines) is defined for all sub-aspects (i.e. means of transport and logistics sites). Employee trips and business trips (Scope 3) are generally assessed by approach C. Balance scope Step % % % 50 % 20 % The highest required level of detail for the ecological assessment of transports commissioned by sub-service providers (Scope 3 transports) is approach B (distance based with database values on consumption of energy sources). - Given however that: If the Scope 3 real data availability problem does not apply for one transportation means, approach A can be demanded (e.g., air freight as in EU ETS). The reporting company may choose independently, which subaspects are calculated by approach A/B or C (see left). Own & external processes Approach A/B & Approach C Again, the Green Logistics method defines minimum standard, any further detail is optional.
