Webfleet expands CO2 reporting capability with Scope 2 insights

By / 29 mins ago / News / No Comments

Webfleet’s CO2 reporting tool is now able to track Scope 2 emissions and deliver distance-based measurements, providing more comprehensive insights for fleets.

The reporting tool provides fleets with a clear and simplified overview of their CO2 footprint

Certified by TÜV Rheinland, one of the world’s leading verification bodies, Webfleet’s CO2 reporting tool now enables fleets to report on both direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions (Scope 2) for their vehicles using distance- and fuel-based calculation methods.

The addition of Scope 2 and the distance-based measurement means that every Webfleet customer can now use the CO2 report as a consistent method to track emissions regardless of the vehicle type.

By analysing Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with two separate certified calculation methods, the tool marks a key milestone in the journey toward sustainable mobility.

The Webfleet CO2 Report provides real-time and historical data on trips, as well as monthly and annual insights, helping fleets comply with the EU’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

The reporting tool separates Scope 1, the direct emission from internal combustion vehicles, and Scope 2, the indirect emissions from purchased electricity from the grid consumed by electric vehicles, providing fleets with a clear and simplified overview of their CO2 footprint.

It automatically calculates carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-eq) by accounting for emissions from carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), ensuring alignment with established GHG protocol guidelines, which are the standard requirement for CSRD reporting.

Jan-Maarten de Vries, president fleet management solutions at Webfleet’s parent Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, said access and transparency of key metrics is becoming paramount for fleets of all sizes as sustainability continues to transform mobility.

“We understand the complexities of sustainability reporting and that it can be challenging for fleets to manage this new data. By adding the capability to accurately track Scope 2 emissions with certified calculation methods to our proven CO2 reporting tool, we provide customers with a better understanding of their overall environmental impact.

“These new additions offer a more holistic view of sustainability reporting for our customers, while simplifying valuable insights for informed decision-making that drive sustainability, efficiency and long-term value.”
