Core Viewpoint - The transportation sector accounts for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2024, making it a major source of carbon dioxide. Despite some high-energy industries in China nearing peak emissions or showing a downward trend, emissions from the transportation sector continue to rise due to increasing demand [1]. Group 1: Industry Actions and Trends - Leading freight companies have initiated decarbonization actions, with 63% using new energy vehicles, 41% experimenting with clean fuels in shipping or air transport, and 77% focusing on improving transport efficiency [2]. - Companies like Decathlon and Geely are increasing the application and range of new energy trucks, supported by the development of an integrated infrastructure network for rail, sea, and inland shipping [2]. - Over 90% of freight companies disclose their logistics carbon emissions, and 41% collect data on logistics suppliers' activities or emissions [2]. Group 2: Challenges in Decarbonization - The logistics industry faces significant challenges in decarbonization, as most efforts are still in the early stages, limited to specific routes or areas, lacking large-scale application [2]. - Current climate-related disclosure regulations do not provide clear requirements for reporting greenhouse gas emissions from logistics activities, leading to limited information disclosure from leading companies in green freight [2]. Group 3: Recommendations for Improvement - Companies are encouraged to reach a consensus on low-carbon logistics, translating commitments and strategies into actionable steps, and requiring low-carbon transport from logistics providers [3]. - Establishing a green logistics system is essential for companies to achieve net-zero emissions by reducing emissions from logistics activities and collaborating with logistics suppliers [3]. - The report suggests that companies should adopt measured data from logistics service providers to improve the accuracy of carbon accounting and set quantifiable decarbonization targets for logistics activities [4]. Group 4: Collaborative Efforts - To transition from strategic planning to actual emission reductions, collaboration among companies, logistics partners, policymakers, industry organizations, and society is necessary [5]. - Five recommendations are proposed: actively disclose best practices in green logistics, enhance carbon accounting and disclosure in supply chain logistics, set decarbonization targets covering the entire value chain, incorporate green performance into logistics service provider management, and expand the scale of green freight projects to reduce the green premium of low-carbon transport tools and technologies [5].

Core Insights - The report highlights that leading cargo companies are leveraging China's advancements in renewable energy technology and infrastructure to implement logistics carbon accounting, switch to electric trucks, and adopt multimodal transport models [1][2] Group 1: Green Logistics Initiatives - 63% of evaluated companies have adopted new energy vehicles for logistics, while 41% are experimenting with clean fuels in shipping or air transport [2] - 77% of companies are focused on improving transportation efficiency, with firms like Decathlon and Geely increasing the application and range of new energy trucks [2] - Over half of the companies are also paying attention to emissions reduction in warehousing [2] Group 2: Emission Data Disclosure - More than 90% of cargo companies disclose their logistics-related carbon emissions, with 35% of companies like VF and Inditex using ISO14083 or GLEC frameworks for more accurate carbon accounting [2] - 41% of companies collect data on logistics suppliers' activities or emissions, with firms such as Puma and Lenovo encouraging suppliers to disclose climate information [2] Group 3: Recommendations for Scaling Decarbonization Efforts - The report suggests creating a supportive external environment to help leading companies scale their decarbonization pilot projects [3] - It recommends sharing best practices from leading companies to encourage more firms to adopt similar strategies [3] - Companies are advised to establish quantifiable decarbonization targets for logistics activities and incorporate carbon intensity metrics into supplier evaluations and procurement decisions [3]
