\n LCBI, the first pan-European standard for whole life-cycle carbon measurement of buildings, has announced the launch of its dedicated certification for logistics<\/a> assets in ten European countries<\/p>\n

The low-carbon certification scheme has now launched across logistics assets in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and Poland.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9cile Dap, LCBI director, explained: \u201cWith the upcoming European regulations set to make carbon accounting increasingly mandatory, this standard is being launched at a strategic moment for the logistics sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy setting clear, measurable carbon performance<\/a> criteria today, the scheme gives the sector a head start, so the actors are ready for increasingly demanding carbon standards before it becomes mandatory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bringing logistics assets in line with decarbonisation strategies<\/p>\n

As one of the most dynamic real estate segments and a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, logistics assets have, until now, lacked a dedicated European carbon-focused certification scheme, resulting in a proliferation of low-carbon claims with no verifiable basis.<\/p>\n

LCBI\u2019s low-carbon certification scheme addresses this gap by providing a unified European framework<\/a>, including limit values, to measure and recognise low-carbon logistics assets, in line with 1.5\u00b0C decarbonisation trajectories.<\/p>\n

This harmonised, pan-European methodology will provide a robust and reliable benchmark for low-carbon assets across Europe.<\/p>\n

For investors, it will facilitate low-carbon investment decisions; for project owners, it will accelerate the shift toward more sustainable practices.<\/p>\n

The scheme has been welcomed across the logistics industry<\/p>\n

Since March 2025, LCBI has brought together a consortium of major real estate stakeholders to collaborate on defining a shared low-carbon standard across Europe: AEW, APRC Group, BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts, Baytree, GSE, Lidl, Virtuo Industrial Property, and more recently Groupe IDEC and STEF.<\/p>\n

Throughout the entire work, LCBI ensured continuous connection with the broader logistics industry through its strategic partnership with AFILOG.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the extension, Thierry Laquitaine, head of SRI Europe, AEW, said: \u201cAs an asset manager with a significant logistics portfolio across Europe, we need tools that allow us to assess, compare and report on the carbon performance of our assets constantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cLCBI provides a common language for the whole European industry, and a clear signal to the market that low-carbon logistics assets deserve to be valued differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony Morais, managing director, GROUPE IDEC INGENIERIE, added: \u201cAt IDEC, reducing the carbon footprint of our developments is central to how we build.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat LCBI brings is something we have been waiting for: an objective, third-party framework that makes our efforts visible and objectively comparable across Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our clients and tenants, this certification scheme will serve as a driver for decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image: iStock | \u00a9 Fahroni LCBI, the first pan-European standard for whole life-cycle carbon measurement of buildings, has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1168589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5174],"tags":[24825,2000,299,5187,3739,66576],"class_list":["post-1168588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-eu","tag-carbon-emissions","tag-eu","tag-europe","tag-european","tag-net-zero","tag-sustainable-construction"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/117156432770715390","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1168588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1168588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1168588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1168589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1168588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1168588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1168588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
