Abstract

We present the application of market-driven methodologies developed within the EU-funded NexTrust project to
reduce greenhouse gases in logistics through horizontal supply chain collaboration by building trusted networks.
In this paper, we report how we measure the reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions with a uniform and
globally endorsed GHG calculation methodology, recently proposed by the Global Logistics Emission Council
(GLEC), in order to increase market acceptance of emission calculation guidelines at collaborative parties. To
the best of our knowledge, we are among the first to apply and test the recently proposed GLEC framework to
assess GHG emissions in a real-life collaborative trusted setting. At the same time we set the baseline for future
fair gain sharing calculations. A linear allocation methodology is proposed to share the gains in GHG emissions
driven by the each company’s stand-alone performance. Our methodology takes into account previous synergies
and efficiencies as well as contribution to the network, while guaranteeing each individual partner’s fair share of
the gain.
