Glossary

Term Definition
Biofuel Renewable fuel made from organic materials like plant oils or waste, used to reduce emissions in transport.
Carbon Intensity The amount of CO₂e emitted per unit of energy or economic output. Lower carbon intensity means cleaner energy.
Decarbonization The process of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, especially in energy and transport systems.
Double Materiality A concept in sustainability reporting where a topic is material if it has significant impact on people/environment and on the company’s financial performance.
Green Hydrogen Hydrogen produced using renewable energy, considered a clean alternative for fuel.
Lifecycle Emissions Emissions calculated over the entire life of a product or process, from production to disposal.
Material Topic A sustainability issue considered important enough to influence stakeholder decisions or company strategy.
Modal Shift Moving freight from high-emission transport modes (e.g., trucks) to lower-emission ones (e.g., rail, sea).
Multimodal Transport A logistics system that combines different modes (e.g., rail, sea, road) to optimize efficiency and reduce emissions.
Net-Zero A state where a company removes as much carbon as it emits, typically through a mix of reductions and offsets.
Renewable Energy Energy from natural sources that replenish, such as wind, solar, or hydropower.
Scope 1, 2, 3 Emissions Categories of emissions: Scope 1 (direct emissions from fuel combustion), Scope 2 (indirect from procured electricity), Scope 3 (indirect from value chain).
Sustainable Procurement Purchasing goods/services in a way that considers environmental and social impacts.
Zero-Emission Fleet Vehicles or vessels that operate without releasing greenhouse gases during use, often powered by electricity or hydrogen.
