Why the pressure is mounting for ESG integration
Why shippers are exerting more pressure on logistics providers regarding ESG and sustainability reporting
Scope 3 ESG Reporting
Shippers subject to CSRD compliance must track their Scope 3 emissions; transport companies failing to provide CO2 data risk losing business contracts.
ESG Questionnaires
An increasing number of corporate clients are issuing ESG questionnaires to their service providers—failing to provide structured ESG reporting risks disqualification from procurement processes.
Tendering & ESG Procurement
Sustainability is becoming an award criterion in tenders – a VS report secures competitive advantages.

ESG Reporting FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions on ESG and Sustainability Reporting
As a small freight forwarding company, am I required to prepare an ESG report?
Freight forwarders with up to 1,000 employees are not subject to direct legal mandates: since the EU Omnibus Package, the CSRD only applies to companies with more than 1,000 employees and over €450 million in turnover. However, indirect pressure is mounting rapidly: large corporations are required to evaluate their supply chains, thereby demanding robust ESG data from their logistics service providers. Consequently, providers unable to supply these sustainability metrics risk disqualification from competitive tenders.
How do I calculate the Scope 1 emissions of my HGV fleet for ESG reporting?
Scope 1 covers your company's direct emissions – primarily fuel consumption for freight forwarders. You only need to provide the volume consumed in litres, and ESGLift will automatically convert this into tonnes of CO2 using official conversion factors, simplifying your ESG reporting.
What is the difference between VS and ESRS for transport companies?
The ESRS apply to large corporations and are highly complex. The Voluntary Standard (VS) is the simplified, voluntary version designed precisely for SMEs. ESGLift is based entirely on this pragmatic VS standard.
Our fleet has transitioned to electric vehicles (EVs). Does this offer measurable advantages for ESG reporting and sustainability?
The carbon calculator also accounts for electricity used in vehicle operations, enabling you to track and monitor the emissions of your electrified fleet within ESGLift for comprehensive ESG reporting.
