Are you required to disclose climate-related risks and opportunities?

Since April 2022, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has requested all UK publicly listed companies (FTSE or AIM) to encourage market transparency by reporting on their direct and indirect climate impact through the TCFD framework. For companies that operate vehicles, this includes fleet CO₂ output.

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a new EU regulation that came into play in January 2024. It requires certain companies to report on, amongst other things, the impact of their activities on people and the environment. Even if your business is not required to report its CO₂ emissions, you may still be impacted by the directive’s demand for more transparency around carbon emissions.

The Webfleet CO₂ Report has you covered

The Webfleet CO₂ Report gives you an accurate overview of your fleet’s direct CO₂ emissions. Using a methodology that’s certified by TÜV Rheinland¹, it provides detailed information on how much CO₂ your vehicles produce. As well as helping you to meet the demands of regulations such as the EU’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), it gives you visibility over how, where and why your fleet is producing unnecessary CO₂.

Webfleet CO₂ Report helps you:

Track the CO₂ produced by every vehicle in your fleet

And take action to reduce your emissions

Report accurately and easily

On your business’ CO₂ emissions and environmental impact

Trust a TÜV Rheinland certified fleet CO₂ report¹

Key features of CO₂ report for fleets

Real-time and historical insights

The certified Webfleet CO₂ Report enables you to accurately measure the CO₂ produced by your vehicles. You can see not only how much CO₂ your vehicles are emitting, but also why and where it is happening. With these real-time and historical insights, you can zero in on where the real opportunities are to cut your fleet’s emissions.

Accurate report data

With the Webfleet CO₂ Report you can rest assured you’ll have all the data you need to report on your CO₂ emissions – both to the authorities and to your customers that request it. It’s the only CO₂ reporting tool from a telematics provider with a methodology certified by TÜV Rheinland. So, whether you need this data to stay compliant, stay competitive or both, Webfleet has you covered.

The impact of driving behaviour

Driving behaviour like idling and harsh braking can directly lead to needless fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. With data on CO₂ emissions in your Webfleet OptiDrive 360 reporting, you can see specifically where drivers are needlessly increasing your carbon footprint and coach them to adopt more sustainable and cost-effective driving styles.

What you need to know about reporting on CO₂

What is the Corporate Sustainability Responsibility Directive (CSRD)?

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a new EU regulation that requires companies to report on risks and opportunities arising from social and environmental issues, such as climate change, and on the impact of their activities on people and the environment. While different types of businesses will be affected by the regulation at different times, over the coming years many thousands of companies across the continent will need to comply with it.

How are fleet CO₂ emissions calculated?

There are three methods for accurately calculating fleet CO₂ emissions in line with the GHG Protocol standard. Firstly, there’s the fuel-based method, which takes the fuel consumed by a business’ vehicles and makes a calculation based on the appropriate emission factor of that fuel. This is one of the two methods of calculation possible with the Webfleet CO₂ Report and is considered the best way to estimate CO₂ emissions.

The second method is the distance-based calculation. Here, the mass, distance and mode of each shipment is calculated and then the appropriate mass-distance emission factor of the vehicle used is applied. This method of calculation is also possible with the Webfleet CO₂ Report.

Finally, there is the spend-based method. Here the amount of money spent on each mode of business travel and secondary emission factors are determined. This method is the least accurate for calculating CO₂ and it does not give any actionable insights on how to improve your carbon footprint. Therefore, it is not available with Webfleet CO₂ report.

Why is CO₂ tracking important?

Accurately tracking CO₂ emissions is crucially important for any fleet of any size for many reasons. Most importantly, if you do not have visibility over the level of CO₂ you produce you cannot take meaningful action to reduce your emissions or track the success of such actions over time. So, any attempt to run more sustainably or efficiently relies on this visibility.

As mentioned above, there is also the need to comply with regulations. More and more companies will have to provide accurate data on CO₂ emissions over the coming years or risk penalties and potential loss of earnings.

So, for the planet, for business and for your company’s bottom line, tracking CO₂ is no longer an optional activity but a must-do.

How can I use the CO₂ Report for my fleet?

The Webfleet CO₂ Report gives you accurate information on the level of CO₂ produced across your fleet. With this data you can fulfil your reporting responsibilities on things like CSRD, identify areas in your operation where you could take action to run more sustainably and measure the success of your initiatives to reduce your impact on the planet.

How to reduce your carbon footprint using fleet management software?

Connecting your fleet with a fleet management solution like Webfleet is the first step to getting the kind of insights into your CO₂ emissions you need to start reducing your impact on the environment. Improving driving behaviour, making the switch to EVs, reporting on CO₂, detecting tyre underinflation, optimising your routes, keeping your vehicles as fuel efficient as possible – all of this and much more becomes possible with the power of Webfleet at your fingertips.

What are Scope 3 GHG emissions?

Scope 3 GHG emissions are all indirect emissions that occur in the upstream and downstream value chain of the reporting company. Scope 3 emissions are typically the greatest component of a corporate or financial services company’s footprint. They are also difficult to measure and manage because they occur outside of an organisation’s operational control.

How could smaller organisations be affected by CSRD and Scope 3 emissions?

Even if your business is not obliged to report on your own carbon footprint, you might be asked by your larger customers to provide information on the CO₂ emission from your vehicles when providing goods or services to them. This is because they will need to report on those Scope 3 emissions to comply with CSRD. This may mean the ability to provide accurate data on your CO₂ can become a competitive advantage for you in the coming years.

How can Webfleet help you to provide information on your carbon footprint?

The Webfleet CO₂ Report gives you accurate information on the CO₂ produced by your connected vehicles. With this data, you can fulfil your CSRD reporting responsibilities or provide this data to your larger customers, so they can report on their Scope 3 emission.
