Afilog and LCBI partner to assess the carbon footprint
in logistics real estate

Paris, January 14. 2025

Two leading European associations have joined forces to create a global benchmark for assessing the carbon footprint of logistics real estate as well as an associated label. The joint venture between the Association of industrial and logistics real estate professionals (Afilog) and LCBI (Low Carbon Building Initiative) seeks to combine their expertise in measuring the carbon footprint of buildings.

Through this partnership, Afilog and LCBI have agreed to implement coherent and aligned methods and tools for assessing the carbon footprint of logistics real estate and to define the organisational arrangements that will enable them to achieve this objective together. They have undertaken to work together to harmonise their methodologies and guarantee consistency in the tools offered to their members and partners.

The indicator will enable first the assessment of logistics real estate assets and second the building of a medium-term progress plan, with precise indications of how to improve. Twenty-two Afilog members, with assets and operations in four European countries, are taking part in the indicator test.
