In December 2024, Webfleet announced an update to its CO2 emissions reporting tool, expanding its capabilities by incorporating indirect Scope 2 emissions. This update, designed to enhance the reliability and accuracy of environmental reporting, has been certified by TÜV Rheinland, a leading international certification body. With this new functionality, Webfleet provides businesses with a comprehensive view of their greenhouse gas emissions, both direct and indirect.
The new Webfleet CO2 Report now goes beyond calculating direct emissions from internal combustion engine vehicles (Scope 1) to also include the indirect emissions resulting from the electricity used by electric vehicles (Scope 2). This extension is especially significant as the increasing adoption of electric vehicles necessitates the consideration of energy sources used for charging. By using calculation methods based on distance travelled and fuel consumption, Webfleet offers a detailed and accurate overview of fleet emissions, supporting businesses in adopting more sustainable policies.
The ability to automatically calculate CO2, methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions is another added benefit of the system. Real-time data is available for both monthly and annual analysis, allowing businesses to monitor their environmental impact continuously. Additionally, the update enables compliance with the new European Union directives on corporate sustainability reporting (CSRD), which require businesses to adopt increasingly rigorous transparency practices.
The updated Webfleet CO₂ Report not only simplifies the emissions calculation process but also supports strategic decision-making. Companies using this tool can enhance fleet management, improve energy efficiency, and reduce their environmental impact. With real-time data visibility, corrective measures can be implemented quickly, helping to reduce emissions and operational costs.
