The GRI G3 Guidelines are already being used by many organizations, including many transport and logistics companies to promote transparency and accountability. Yet, transport and logistics companies have unique needs for sustainability reporting, above and beyond those addressed by the existing G3 Guidelines.

About the project
Why produce a Sector Supplement for the Logistics and Transportation Sector?
The Logistics and Transportation sector has a variety of impacts that can affect the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of society in positive as well as negative ways. Environmentally, as a major consumer of fossil fuels, logistics and transportation companies are expected to minimise the impact of the resultant emissions – which are known to contribute to climate change and urban air pollution. On the social side, this sector employs a large number of workers around the world and faces challenges in labour use practices.
Background
The Logistics and Transportation Sector Supplement addresses the key sustainability issues for this sector. It has been designed for general use by companies operating within the sector using different modes of transport.
Development process
It was developed between August 2004 and September 2005 by a multi-stakeholder working group, consisting of 18 individuals. The pilot version of the Supplement is combined with an abridged version of the of the GRI 2002 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.
Working Group
The Pilot version of the Logistics and Transportation Sector Supplement was developed by a multi-stakeholder working group co-convened by the GRI and the Logistics and Transportation Corporate Citizenship Initiative (L&TCCI) of the World Economic Forum.
Working Group participants included Warwick Business School, European Federation for Transportation and Environment, The Energy and Resources Institute, The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport, International Transport Workers' Federation, Forte & Balance BV, Exel, Urgent Couriers, La Poste, Deutsche Post World Net, Schenker, FedEx, Stena, UPS, UNDP/Inter-Agency Procurement Services Office, United Nations Human Settlements Programme, Deutsche Bank, and CoreRatings (now DNV).
