The knowledge and capacity gap for the many SMEs (Small Medium Enterprises) that are involved in the logistics sector is significant. Even the largest logistics service providers subcontract a significant proportion of their transport to specialist carriers and acknowledge that they struggle to get reliable, company-specific data back in a format that can be used to fulfil carbon account requests from their customers. This paper -as part of the LEARN (Logistics, emissions and reduction network) European project- covers the needs of training and education as this is considered the least-developed area in the sector that currently represents a big challenge.
The papers shows the requirements identified from stakeholders via surveys in emissions accounting, reporting and verifying together with methodology guidelines developed in the field. The paper will provide the path to produce a proper material, and how to be assembled, re-oriented and adapted towards the end users, with the aim of increasing the knowledge base in the field and to strengthen the network of industries willing to use a common standard framework for emissions accounting.
