The ANZ Clean Freight Council unites freight operators, shippers, government, and research around a shared mission: to measure, reduce, and report freight transport emissions across Australia and New Zealand.
The Opportunity
Australia and New Zealand's freight sector contributes significantly to national emissions. The ANZ Clean Freight Council delivers the measurement standards, capability, and coordination the sector needs to respond — with confidence and credibility.
We bring together transport operators, shippers, government agencies, and research institutions to act on freight decarbonisation together.
The Compliance Wave
Australian reporting requirements are creating downstream demand across trans-Tasman supply chains. Every large company with freight in its supply chain will need to measure, report, and reduce emissions.
Australian companies will be required to report Scope 3 freight emissions by 2029. Transport emissions are the next compliance frontier — and currently the sector's biggest blind spot.
Freight carbon advisory isn't a one-off project. Baselining, reduction strategy, and ongoing reporting is multi-year work. The CFC Metrics Platform and education programs are built exactly for this demand.
The Challenge
The absence of an independent organisation to facilitate government engagement limits policy advocacy and reduces the potential for cohesive decarbonisation initiatives across the sector.
Low carbon literacy across the logistics sector delays engagement and action — particularly in land transport, where freight emissions are largest and least measured.
Without a unified measurement standard, companies cannot gauge their environmental impact, compare performance, or demonstrate credible emissions reduction to customers and regulators.
Fragmented operations result in inefficiencies and missed collaboration opportunities. No single body currently holds the ANZ freight sector together.
What is ANZCFC
The ANZ Clean Freight Council is a not-for-profit peak body dedicated to advancing sustainable freight practices across Australia and New Zealand — uniting operators, shippers, government, and research under one credible, independent institution.
Independent and non-commercial — trusted equally by industry and government
Aligned with international standards including ISO 14083 and the GLEC Framework
Structured as a membership-based council with tiered participation across operators, shippers, associations, research institutions, and government
Governed by constituency — not fee tier — ensuring every member has a voice proportionate to the sector they represent
Focused on practical outcomes: measurement tools, training, policy engagement, and market mechanisms
Five Strategic Pillars
Five integrated pillars — each serving a distinct function while reinforcing the others. Together they form the institutional infrastructure the sector has been missing.
The Founding Team
Get Involved
Founding membership is open now. The organisations that join at this stage will have a direct hand in shaping the Council's direction, governance, and programs — and will be named in the founding constitution.
