Smart Freight Centre (SFC) was established as a global nonprofit organization in 2013. Their vision is “Smart Freight”– a transformation to an efficient and environmentally sustainable global logistics sector.

Their approach is business-centric because freight is a highly commercial sector. SFC mobilizes business to reduce emissions and recognizes leaders.

SFC can play this role because it is a fit-for-purpose organization, independent from industry or government, and has a global network across stakeholder groups with local presence. SFC is registered in The Netherlands as a foundation, recorgnized as a Dutch Public Benefit Organisation and is certified as an equivalent to a US public charity by NGOsource.
