CO2 information for transport services
1.
Legal and regulatory texts
CO2 information for transport services is a provision derived from the Grenelle de l’Environnement. Its compulsory
application was introduced by an article of the "Grenelle II" law, and integrated into article L1431-3 of the French
transport code. This device is subject to three regulatory texts:
OO French decree No. 2011-1336 of 24 October 2011 on the provision of information regarding the quantity of
carbondioxide emitted during a transport service: this specifies the terms and conditions for the implementation of
article
L1431-3 of the French transport code; OO French order of 10 April 2012 implementing articles 5, 6 and 8 of the
French decree No. 2011-1336 of 24 October 2011 on the provision of information regarding the quantity of carbon
dioxide emitted during a transport service: this order in particular sets out the emission factors for the different energy
sources and the default values (known as level 1 values) that can be used; OO French order of 10 April 2012
implementing article 14 of the French decree No. 2011-1336 of 24 October 2011 on the provision of information
regarding the quantity of carbon dioxide emitted during a transport service; this order sets the 1st of October 2013 as
the date from which such CO2 information disclosure requirements become mandatory.
Another order shall appear subsequent to the publication of this guide and shall specify the terms and conditions for
certifying the compliance of the calculation methods used.

Who is subject to this disclosure requirement?
2.1. According to the nature of the activity
CO2 information applies to "any public or private persons organising or selling transport services for passengers,
goods or moving purposes, carried out using one or several means of transport, departing from or travelling to a
location in France, with the exception of transport services organised by public or private persons for their own
behalf" (refer to article 2 of the French decree No. 2011-1336).
The following are therefore subject to CO2 information disclosure requirements:

•
all professionals selling transport services for the behalf of other people, whether carried out by themselves
or by
partner transport operators;
•
home moving companies for moving services;
•
all French and foreign economic stakeholders, whether public or private, organising transport services.
The following are therefore concerned by this regulation (non-exhaustive list):
•
•
•
transport operators;
local authorities:
-for transport services under direct management (including free services);
-when organising school transport services;
travel agencies selling transport services.
CO2 information disclosure is mandatory, even with regard to free services (for example city bus services provided
free-of-charge by local authorities).
Businesses only involved in providing the transport vehicles and not involved in performing the service as such, in
particular self-driven vehicle rental companies (private cars, lorries, short or long-term rental, etc.) are not subject to
this requirement.
For the behalf of others or for its own behalf
CO2 information must be disclosed by all persons organising or selling a transport service for the behalf of another
person. This other person can be a "shipper" (industrialist or distributor), another transport service provider or
transport organiser or any other third party (user, etc.).
Conversely, the transport operations carried out for its own behalf, i.e. those performed for its own needs using its
own vehicles and drivers, are not subject to the CO2 information disclosure requirement.
Nonetheless, a company, for example a shipper, can voluntarily calculate the CO2 emissions generated by the
transport operations carried out for its own behalf so as to integrate this information into a monitoring chart containing
all of the emissions generated by its logistics activities. To achieve this, it can reuse the different calculation methods
and data presented in this guide, according to the modes of transport implemented and the activities performed.
2.2. According to the size of the structure
The CO2 information disclosure requirement for transport services applies regardless of the size of the company
or local authority. No threshold exists beneath which an organisation is exempt from disclosing such information.
However, the decree contains a provision aiming at easing the implementation of this device for services providers
with less than 50 employees: the latter will be able to use default values for the calculations, known as level 1 values.
For businesses with more than fifty employees, the French decree No. 2011-1336 stipulates that level 1 values can
be used until the 1st of July 2016. The implementation of this provision shall be subject to an examination within the
scope of the report provided for by article 14 of this decree.
2.3. According to the scale of the service provided
The CO2 information disclosure requirement applies regardless of the scale of the service provided. No threshold
exists beneath which a service is not subject to the disclosure requirement.
Small-scale home moving activities or small-quantity services for goods are extremely numerous and when added
together represent high emission levels. The decision has therefore been made not to exclude such services from
this device.
However, provisions exist in some cases to simplify implementation. Therefore, for a taxi ride or an underground
journey, the simple on-board display of the emissions generated per kilometre will suffice.
2.4. According to the origin or destination of the services provided
The services subject to CO2 information disclosure requirements are all journeys that depart from or travel to a
location in Frances.
For example, for a service departing from France and travelling to a foreign country, the CO2 information requirement
relates to the journey made up to the final destination of the service and corresponds to the entire service. This
requirement does not apply to international journeys that do not stop in France or that simply stop for refuelling. This
however does apply to coasting trade transport operations carried out in France. For the shipment of goods, the
scope of the CO2 information that must be provided often depends on the commercial terms drawn up in the shipping
agreement. Therefore, the integration of a post-delivery journey on foreign soil will depend on the liability transfer
conditions defined for the service drawn up between the service provider and its beneficiary.
