Amazon wants your carbon footprint. Zalando requires GLEC compliance. Mercadona needs Scope 3 data from every supplier in their chain.
Your own fleet is Scope 1. Electricity is Scope 2. Subcontracted carriers, the hardest to calculate and the most important to your clients, is Scope 3. Dcycle separates them automatically so you always know where your emissions come from and what you can do about it.
The global standard for logistics emissions. Dcycle is fully aligned with GLEC so the reports you generate are the ones your clients can actually use: for their own footprint, for public tenders, for Lean & Green certification.
Road, rail, maritime, air. Dcycle handles intermodal logistics with mode-specific methodologies, including Well-to-Wheel accounting, not just Tank-to-Wheel, which is what most tools still do.
gCO₂e per tonne-kilometre. The KPI your operations team already understands. Connects sustainability with efficiency, not as a separate exercise, but as part of how you run the business.
If CSRD applies to you, or to the clients who will soon request your data, Dcycle has the modules ready. You won't have to start from scratch when the deadline arrives.
A report ready to deliver to your clients, auditors and certification bodies. One click. No reformatting.

We take the data directly from your systems
ERP, TMS, Excel, fuel cards and more
Upload vehicle consumption data once. It automatically feeds your carbon footprint, GLEC report, ISO certification, EcoVadis score, and more.
CSRD is the headline everywhere, but after Omnibus it needs more than 1,000 employees and more than €450 million in turnover. These are the requirements that reach a carrier, a 3PL or a freight forwarder regardless of size.
This is the one that arrives first, and it has no legal threshold behind it. Amazon, Zalando and Mercadona need your emissions for their own Scope 3, so the request comes down as a condition of doing business. It is not a fine you risk, it is the contract.
Not a law, which is exactly why it gets underestimated. It is the methodology your client's auditor will accept, and the one Lean & Green certification and most public procurement now specify. A footprint calculated any other way tends to come back for rework.
A sustainable commuting plan per centre. It counts per centre, not per company, and a single distribution hub can pass 200 on its own while the group looks mid-sized. The commuting survey you run for Scope 3 already carries most of the data.
A fleet operator gets no direct ETS2 compliance obligation. The diesel supplier does, and passes the carbon price through at the pump. So this one arrives as a cost line rather than a filing, and the only defence is knowing your litres and your intensity per tonne-kilometre before the price moves.
Obliges you to calculate your carbon footprint and publish a reduction plan. Unlike CSRD it is in force and it is Spanish, so it does not depend on a transposition that is still being debated.
Calculo, Reduzco and Compenso. Voluntary, but it is a public register, and transport tenders are one of the places buyers actually check it. Registering the footprint you already calculate costs you one more step.

| All transport modes in one platform Road, rail, maritime and air, each with mode-specific emission factors. No switching between separate spreadsheets or tools for each type of operation. | — | — | |
| Well-to-Wheel emission factors Upstream fuel production emissions included, not just combustion. Required by GLEC v3.0 and demanded by Amazon, Zalando and other major shippers. | — | — | |
| Scope 3 from contracted carriers A dedicated supplier portal so contracted carriers submit their own data. No chasing by email, Scope 3 collected automatically, not assembled from guesswork. | |||
| TMS & fuel card integrations Direct connectors to your TMS, fuel card providers and ERP. Data flows in automatically, no manual exports, no copy-paste between systems. | — | ||
| gCO₂e per tonne-kilometre Transport intensity calculated automatically per route and mode. The KPI your clients and operations team already understand, not bolted on as an afterthought. | — |
