activity data into GHG emissions. Transport emission factors are used to calculate the amount of GHG emissions produced by different modes of transportation. Assurance By partnering with SFC-accredited tools and programmes, companies can ensure that the GLEC Framework, the industry standard for GHG emissions, is applied correctly. SFC accreditation assesses the methodological conformance and reporting alignment with the GLEC Framework, providing companies with trusted and credible calculations and reports. A list of SFC-accredited software providers is available on its website: https://smartfreightcentre.org/en/ our-programs/emissions- accounting/global-logistics-emissi ons-council/certification/our-sfc- certified-partners/ Ongoing developments Ongoing developments include some country specific developments and sector guidelines. There are also further methodology enhancements, including the CLEVER project (Creating Legitimate Emission Factors for Verified Emission Reduction). The primary goal of the CLEVER Project is to harmonise the calculation of GHG emissions across all modes of transport. The focus is to develop a cross- cutting methodology that leads to standardised emission factors covering various transport modes, fuels (both new and conventional), and production methods. These factors will encompass the entire energy lifecycle, from production to end use, and will offer clearer guidelines for calculating and accounting GHG emissions across all modes of transport. BIFA would like to thank Dr Lewis for his valuable guidance.

BIFA’s Brooke Neilson was a shortlisted fi nalist for the everywoman in Transport and Logistics awards Recognising rising talent
J ust as BIFA encourages either the Apprentice of the Year or Young Freight Forwarder of the Year categories of the BIFA Freight Service Awards, our own Brooke Neilson was recently shortlisted as a fi nalist in the everywoman in Transport and Logistics awards. In June, Brooke attended the Members to nominate their younger team members to ceremony in London accompanied by (pictured above left to right) Nezda, Ramandeep, Natalie, (Brooke), Sharon, Carl and Shelby. Industry spotlight The awards shine a spotlight on our industry’s most exceptional talent, providing an opportunity for companies and individuals to put forward candidates for categories celebrating all stages of their career journey. BIFA has been a media and distribution partner of these awards for several years, encouraging our Members to participate. It was great to see several of them in attendance as sponsors and finalists. Brooke is BIFA’s Communications and PR officer and was nominated
in the Apprentice of the Year category after demonstrating resilience and leadership throughout her apprenticeship; notably during her manager’s maternity leave last year. With the five other finalists also achieving fantastic results in other areas of the sector, it really was a tough competition. Whilst Brooke was not crowned the overall winner on this occasion, the BIFA secretariat is proud of her being shortlisted as a finalist, which is a massive achievement. She has made a huge contribution to BIFA in her short career and really deserves this recognition.
