Low Emissions Freight Certificates

The Sustainable Business Council (SBC) has successfully completed the second phase of its Low Emission Freight Certificate (LEFC) collaboration, marking a major step in the development of a new national system to help reduce emissions from Aotearoa New Zealand’s heavy freight sector.  

The LEFC system is designed to reward freight companies that invest in low-emission vehicles and to give businesses a clear and credible way to decarbonise their freight emissions.

If you are interested in to bringing the system to life, including setting up and running a central registry, managing the certificates, and ensuring the operation is verified and audited each year, please let us know and we can supply additional guidelines.
