Impact Analysis

The transition requires robust data management. GLNs are essential for identifying charging locations and delivery hubs within ZE zones, while EPCIS events can track vehicle and battery maintenance history for TCO and ESG reporting (Scope 3 emissions). The EU Taxonomy and ESRS require companies to report on sustainable transport assets, necessitating accurate master data linked to the vehicle's GTIN (if applicable) or asset ID, detailing its zero-emission status.

Recommended Actions

  • •Identify all GLNs associated with delivery and charging locations within Dutch ZE zones to ensure compliance.
  • •Implement EPCIS to track vehicle movements, charging events, and battery maintenance history to support TCO and sustainability reporting.
  • •Review and update Scope 3 emissions reporting processes using verifiable logistics data captured via GS1 standards for CSRD/ESRS compliance.
  • •Collaborate with logistics partners (3PLs) to ensure their vehicle master data and traceability systems support ZE zone requirements.
