About Topsector Logistiek

Together with entrepreneurs, governments and research institutions, Topsector Logistiek is working on the ambition for 2050: competitive and emission-free logistics in the Netherlands. Topsector Logistiek has drawn up an implementation programme to achieve this ambition. Carbon Added Accounting is one of the components therein.

Topsector Logistiek’s goals

Carbon Added Accounting falls within the Supply Chain domain. Topsector Logistiek’s goals in this domain are:

  • maximum supply chain visibility;
  • effective use of resources;
  • optimised allocation of infrastructure capacity;
  • forging an innovative environment for the development of new services.
Close collaboration

In the various implementation programmes, Topsector Logistiek works closely together with companies, knowledge institutions, and governments on innovations for competitive and emission-free logistics. We do that by conducting research, developing knowledge and tools, and scaling up. We are taking this same approach in Carbon Added Accounting. Other carbon-related projects include: Carbon Footprinting and Footprinting.
