	Annual Updates		=== Advise: Annual Updates ===
	To maintain accuracy, the REF should be reviewed and updated annually to account for changes in emission factors, vehicle efficiencies, and route optimizations. This ensures that the data remains relevant and reliable for sustainability reporting and decision-making.

	Route Emission Factor (REF) refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with transporting goods between a specific origin and destination route, expressed in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kgCO2eq). This factor accounts for all legs of the journey and includes emissions from each type of vehicle used in the transport process. The REF is calculated once and updated annually to reflect changes in emission factors or transport efficiency.
