ALPHABET has launched a new carbon reporting tool for UK customers. The web-based platform serves as an end-to-end sustainability management resource, allowing fleet operators to manage their vehicles’ net zero journey.
Users will be able to access insights into their fleet’s overall carbon impact. The tool will also turn raw data, based on a company’s direct and indirect emissions, into real-world actionable strategies that can facilitate an overall reduction across the fleet.
Called Carbon Manager, the tool has been developed as part of Alphabet’s partnership with Plan A, a leading corporate carbon accounting, decarbonisation, and ESG reporting software provider.
As the demand for carbon emissions reporting increases, fleet operators will be required to overcome significant challenges to accurately record and report their vehicle data, says Alphabet.
Caroline Sandall-Mansergh, Consultancy and Channel Development Manager at Alphabet (GB), said:
“Carbon Manager has the power to transform the way organisations approach fleet management. This highly tailored tool extends far beyond policy compliance, offering companies a strategic advantage by identifying ways to boost efficiency and reduce running costs both now and in the future.
“No matter how a fleet programme is managed, be it by a dedicated fleet manager, through procurement or by HR, Alphabet’s Carbon Manager tool is designed to provide professionals with a detailed understanding of their fleet’s efficiency without the need for a significant time investment.”
In 2022, the Government’s Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) made it mandatory for large corporations in the UK to disclose their climate-related financial risks, which affected over 1,300 businesses. There are further plans to extend the sustainability disclosure requirements to all companies in 2026. Companies will therefore need an accurate means to measure their fleet emissions to comply with the directive, as well as possess the strategic insights to reduce their carbon footprint.
Alphabet recently launched a credit management tool for leasing brokers to speed up and make more efficient its quoting system.
