FLEETDRIVE
The last pillar is opportunities. These are advantages your organisation may gain through early adoption of trends, innovation, or efficient resource management.
The implications on fleet & logistics
Some may not see how fleets and climate reporting, but the clearest connection is fuel usage and emissions. There are three universally acknowledged scopes of emissions.
Scope 1 emissions come directly from assets( vehicles, energy, etc.) owned by an organisation. The best example is emissions from fuel usage from fleets.
Scope 2 emissions are indirectly caused by goods or services that were purchased or produced by an organisation. For example, waste from factory operations or electricity generated by use of a building or a machine.
Finally, emissions that fall under scope 3 are neither produced directly nor indirectly by an organisation. Rather, these emissions are produced by external actors( i. e. customers and suppliers) within the companies’ upstream and downstream value chains.
Scope 3 emissions are considered the largest and most impactful of the three categories. In reporting scope 3 emissions, Abbie recommended to use specific data retrieved from direct sources rather than estimates. Estimates can be unreliable and may not truly represent an organisation’ s real-world results.
Key takeaways
Climate reporting is evolving to mirror financial reporting. It has become stricter, more standardised, and heavily audited. This should not be seen as a drawback, but rather as an opportunity to show potential stakeholders the true value and investment returns of a company.
Tracking ESG data is not a dead-end. Company data, when sorted and reported properly, can be used to an organisation’ s advantage. For example, B2B organisations may use fuel usage data as a selling point. Verified and specific climate reporting signals to suppliers and partners alike that an organisation’ s data is reliable and can be used for their own climate reporting.
