CarbonZero Achieves Science-Based Net-Zero Certification Across 14 Countries

CarbonZero Logistics today became the first European industrial logistics company to achieve Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Corporate Net-Zero Standard certification, covering all Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across its operations in 14 countries.

The certification follows a three-year programme that included converting 68% of its road fleet to electric or hydrogen, installing 22MW of rooftop solar across its warehouse estate, switching all electricity procurement to 100% renewable Power Purchase Agreements, and engaging its top 300 suppliers to set their own science-based targets.

“Net-zero for a logistics company is harder than for any other sector — we move physical goods, and that creates emissions at every step,” said CEO Franka Hoekstra. “This certification proves it can be done, profitably, without offsetting our way to a headline number.”

Residual emissions — approximately 4% of the pre-programme baseline — have been neutralised through investment in directly owned afforestation projects in Portugal and Estonia, verified by Gold Standard.
