MBM Framework Revision
The upcoming year, we will be working on revising the current version of the MBM Framework. Please read all about the process on this page.
Smart Freight Centre (SFC) has published two key documents: the Voluntary Market Based Measures Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting (or MBM Framework) and the Market Based Measures Specification for Logistics Emissions Reporting (MBM Specification). These documents set the rules for reporting emissions under the SFC Conformity Assessment Scheme (CAS). We are currently revising the MBM Framework to version 2.0. In this process, we are following the phases outlines below.
Phase 1: Call for Experts (closed)
An Expert Working Group from a wide range of organizations has been established as a result of the Call for Experts.
Phase 2: Public Consultation - Gap Analysis (now open)
This questionnaire is part of the initial gap analysis and aims to gather input from the transport GHG emissions accounting community to help define the scope and priorities of the revision. This consultation closes 17 April 23:50 PST.
Phase 3: Drafting
The Expert Working Group will be working on a draft revision document of the Framework. Expected timeframe: Q2-Q3 2026.
Phase 4: Public Consultation - Draft
A public consultation will be published to seek feedback on the first draft of the revised framework. Expected timeframe: Q4 2026.
Phase 5: Finalization
The Expert Working Group will finalize the revision and announce publication date. Expected timeframe: Q1 2027.
Phase 1: Call for Experts (closed)
To keep everything up to date and in line with the latest developments, we have put together an Expert Working Group to update the document.
Please note it is no longer possible to apply for the working group.
Phase 2: Public Consultation (now open)
This questionnaire is part of the initial gap analysis and aims to gather input from the transport GHG emissions accounting community to help define the scope and priorities of the revision. Your feedback will directly support the work of the Expert Working Group (EWG) and ensure the revised framework addresses key challenges and opportunities in practice.
