  • Alphabet brings innovative fleet emissions reporting and forecasting tool to the UK market
  • Easy-to-use platform enables fleet managers to strategically embrace decarbonisation, helping to boost efficiency and reduce operational costs
  • Software developed in conjunction with Plan A; a leading provider of digital carbon management and ESG reporting solutions
  • Effective measurement and reduction of fleet emissions likely to be an important factor in future environmental disclosure directives

17 March 2025, Farnborough, UK – Leading global fleet mobility provider, Alphabet, has launched a new Carbon Manager tool for UK customers. The web-based platform serves as an end-to-end sustainability management resource, empowering fleet operators to manage their vehicles’ net zero journey. 

Users of the intuitive software will be able to access unparalleled 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. 

Carbon Manager has been developed as part of Alphabet’s partnership with Plan A, a leading corporate carbon accounting, decarbonisation, and Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) reporting software provider. The platform has been specifically developed with fleet operations in mind – a significant point of difference when compared to other tools available to fleet and HR professionals. 

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. Until now, the absence of an all-encompassing digital carbon reporting tool has proved a major hurdle as organisations struggle 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.”

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.
