The Sustainable Business Council (SBC) has successfully completed the second phase of its Low Emission Freight Certificate (LEFC) collaboration, marking a major step in the development of a new national system to help reduce emissions from Aotearoa New Zealand’s heavy freight sector.
SBC collaborated with a number of its members, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Agency (EECA) and DETA to design a market-based mechanism to facilitate decarbonisation, launching the framework of the system at the 2025 Climate Change and Business Conference. This is the final piece in a multi-year SBC project to help members and businesses shift the dial on heavy freight emissions.
Copies of the full LEFC Project Summary, LEFC Demand Report project summary detailing the design and framework of the LEFC system, and FAQs can be found below.
