Your fleet generates unavoidable direct emissions. Fund French certified Label Bas-Carbone projects and offer your shippers a carbon-neutral transport option — with impact measured across 5 ecosystem dimensions.
Obligations are multiplying. Understanding the regulatory framework turns constraints into competitive advantage with shippers.
The European Fit for 55 package targets a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030. For transport, this includes extending the ETS to road transport (2027), tightening CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles and mandating alternative fuel blending.
European legislative package 2023Article L1431-3 of the Transport Code requires every carrier to inform clients about CO2 emissions for each service. This obligation makes the carbon footprint visible and drives shippers to demand offsetting solutions.
Transport CodeWarehouses and logistics platforms over 1,000 m2 are subject to the tertiary eco-energy scheme requiring a 40% reduction in energy consumption by 2030, 50% by 2040 and 60% by 2050.
Tertiary decree — ELAN ActThe FRET21 programme (carrier component of the EVE programme, led by ADEME) commits transport companies to reducing the carbon intensity of their services via 4 levers. Carbon contribution complements these reduction actions.
ADEME voluntary programmeAs the largest emitting sector in France (31% of emissions), transport faces growing pressure to decarbonise its operations.
Road transport relies 95% on fossil fuels. Each litre of diesel emits 2.67 kgCO2. Even with fleet optimisation, scope 1 emissions remain substantial and unavoidable in the short term.
Your shipper clients, subject to CSRD, include your emissions in their scope 3. They require carriers with a documented climate strategy and concrete proof of action.
Switching to electric, biogas or hydrogen requires heavy investment. Carbon contribution addresses residual emissions during the technological transition period.
Shippers are looking for carriers able to offer carbon-neutral transport services. Label Bas-Carbone certified carbon contribution is a concrete commercial differentiator.
End-to-end support, from estimating your fleet emissions to impact tracking. Everything is certified, traced and measurable.
After optimisation (eco-driving, load factor, biofuels), address your fleet's residual emissions with certified Label Bas-Carbone projects. Registered certificates per vehicle or per journey.
Offer your clients a documented and certified carbon-neutral transport option. A concrete competitive advantage in logistics tenders.
Integrate carbon contribution into your FRET21 action plan. Stock CO2 5-dimension impact reports can be used directly for EVE programme monitoring.

Why should a French carrier choose Label Bas-Carbone?
| Criterion | Label Bas-Carbone | VCS / Verra | Gold Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| French government recognition | Yes — Ministry of Ecological Transition | No | No |
| Project location | France only | International (mostly emerging countries) | International |
| Territorial anchoring | Projects near your sites | No territorial link | No territorial link |
| Independent audit | Yes — accredited auditors | Yes | Yes |
| CSRD / ESRS E1 alignment | Strong — traceable projects | Medium | Medium |
| Multidimensional impact | 5 dimensions (carbon, biodiversity, water, soil, social) | Carbon mainly | Carbon + co-benefits |
| Price per tonne | 30 to 80 EUR / tCO2 | 5 to 30 EUR / tCO2 | 15 to 50 EUR / tCO2 |
| Greenwashing risk | Very low | Documented controversies (2023) | Low |

Input reduction across 205 hectares in Burgundy. 906 tCO2 reduced through optimised agricultural practices. Positive impact on soil and water quality.
“Our shippers demanded a carbon-neutral transport offer. Stock CO2 helped us structure a certified Label Bas-Carbone carbon contribution, with reforestation projects along our main routes. The per-client registered certificates are a real asset in our tenders. We won 3 new contracts thanks to this approach.

Answers to the most common questions about certified carbon contribution for transport.
Fit for 55 is the European legislative package aiming for a 55% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 1990. For transport, it includes extending the Emissions Trading System (ETS) to road transport, tightening CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles and integrating biofuels. Carbon contribution through Label Bas-Carbone projects addresses residual emissions that the technological transition does not yet cover.
Biofuels (B100, HVO, biogas) reduce emissions by 50 to 90% depending on the pathway, but do not eliminate them entirely. Moreover, their availability remains limited and their cost is higher than diesel. Label Bas-Carbone certified carbon contribution offsets residual emissions during the transition period, providing a credible complementary solution.
You can structure a "carbon-neutral transport" offer in three steps: 1) measure emissions per journey (art. L1431-3 of the Transport Code), 2) reduce as much as possible (eco-driving, load optimisation, alternative fuels), 3) offset the remainder through Label Bas-Carbone projects. Stock CO2 provides registered certificates and impact reports that can be integrated into your commercial offers.
The FRET21 programme (carrier component of the EVE programme) commits transport companies to reducing the carbon intensity of their services. It is based on 4 levers: load factor, distance travelled, transport mode and energy performance. Label Bas-Carbone carbon contribution complements these reduction actions by addressing unavoidable residual emissions.
Your fleet's scope 1 emissions are calculated using GHG Protocol methodology: fuel consumption (litres) x emission factor (kgCO2/litre). For diesel, the factor is approximately 2.67 kgCO2/litre. Article L1431-3 of the Transport Code requires GHG information for each transport service. Stock CO2 can help you with this estimate to size your contribution.
Yes. Shippers increasingly include environmental criteria in their transport tenders (shipper's scope 3). A Label Bas-Carbone certified carbon contribution, documented with multidimensional impact reports, strengthens your positioning. Stock CO2 certificates are designed to be attached directly to tender responses.
