Webfleet, Bridgestone’s fleet management solution, has received a Gold rating from EcoVadis for 2024, showcasing its commitment to environmental, social and ethical responsibility.

Webfleet secured a Gold rating from EcoVadis for 2024

It’s the first time that Webfleet has achieved Gold status from the leading business sustainability ratings provider, putting it in the top 5% of the c.150,000 companies assessed globally by EcoVadis.

EcoVadis assesses organisations on the quality of their sustainability management systems and their commitment to promoting transparency throughout the value chain.

Since Webfleet secured Bronze in its first EcoVadis rating in 2022, and again in 2023, the business has made significant improvements in the four core areas of the assessment: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

Compared to its 2023 scorecard, the company achieved double-digit points gains in all four areas, which are each scored out of 100.

“Reaching Gold in just two years is a testament to Webfleet’s strong commitment to environmental, social and ethical responsibility,” said Jan-Maarten de Vries, president of fleet management solutions at Bridgestone.

“I’m proud of how far we’ve come so quickly with the continuous improvements we’ve made on our approach to and management of sustainability at Webfleet. Our journey doesn’t stop here. There is still more we can do as we continue driving towards a more sustainable future.”

Webfleet has also maintained industry-recognised sustainability certifications, including ISO 14001 for Environmental Management since 2020 and ISO 50001 for Energy Management since 2021.

Webfleet continues to implement new innovations for sustainability across its business and operations.

A key area of progress has been in environmental responsibility, where Webfleet has taken significant steps to reduce its carbon footprint and support its customers on their decarbonisation journeys. It’s developed EV-focused solutions and empowers fleets to calculate and offset their CO2 emissions through Justdiggit’s Treecovery programme, using the Webfleet Green Your Fleet platform.

Webfleet’s parent company, Bridgestone EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), has received the top ‘Platinum’ EcoVadis rating each year since 2021. The company was first assessed by EcoVadis in 2015 and elevated to Gold status in 2019.
