55% of Mexican Logistics Companies Now Track Carbon Footprint: Study Shows Jump from 22% in 2023, but SMEs Lag at 18% Adoption
mexicobusiness.newsA new study from Mexico's Ministry of Economy shows that 55% of logistics companies in Mexico now measure their carbon footprint, up from 22% in 2023. The fourth National Study of Logistics Indicators, based on 160+ firms, reveals a sharp divide by company size: 75% of large corporations track emissions, but only 18% of small and medium enterprises with revenue below MXN $250 million do the same. The data comes from Soy Logístico Asociación, EGADE Business School, Logística de México, and IBSO. Grupo Engen, one of Mexico's largest logistics operators, released a 2025 sustainability report detailing its own progress. The company transitioned 76% of its internal fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles and has offset over 320,000 tCO2e since 2022. Its divisions Engen Capital and TIP México expanded green asset origination significantly, with sustainable vehicles now making up 12% of TIP's active leasing contracts. Grupo Engen reported Scope 1 emissions of 887 tCO2e, Scope 2 of 312 tCO2e, and Scope 3 value chain emissions of 556,091 tCO2e, calculated under the GHG Protocol and PCAF frameworks. The gap between large firms and SMEs in carbon tracking is a practical concern for supply chain decarbonization. Without broader SME adoption, upstream and downstream Scope 3 emissions will remain hard to measure and reduce. The study also flagged demand forecasting accuracy at 70% and personnel turnover as ongoing operational challenges for the sector.
