Alphabet has debuted its Carbon Manager tool for UK customers, delivering a vital fleet emissions reporting and forecasting solution.

The tool enables fleets to manage their net zero journey and supports mandatory emissions reporting

The web-based platform provides an end-to-end sustainability management resource, enabling fleets to manage their net zero journey while also supporting with mandatory emissions reporting.

Users of the software will be able to access in-depth 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.

The platform has been specifically developed with fleet operations in mind – said to mark a significant point of difference in the marketplace – and launches as part of Alphabet’s partnership with Plan A, a leading corporate carbon accounting, decarbonisation and Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) reporting software provider.

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. And there are further plans to extend the sustainability disclosure requirements to all companies in 2026.

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. Alphabet says its tool provides a vital solution to help organisations struggling to keep pace with impending changes to legislation, while assessing their environmental impact and fleet performance.

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, we know that these hard-working individuals are often time poor. 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.”
