Is your fleet prepared for the emissions reporting that legislation demands?


Research by fleet gurus, Alphabet, has raised concerns over how well UK businesses are equipped to calculate and report fleet emissions under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) legislation.
While public companies, large unquoted firms and LLPs are all required to disclose energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, Alphabet found that more than a third (38%) of fleet managers still rely on basic spreadsheets, and 8% don’t calculate emissions at all.
Only 18% feel their business has the right tools, while 12% admit to having no plans to invest in better systems. Logistics firms were highlighted, with over 40% still using spreadsheets, and some retailers and delivery services persisting with paper records. Alphabet warns that this lack of preparation risks non-compliance, as emissions reporting demands more specialist knowledge and robust tools. Chief sales officer Ian Turner stressed that many businesses remain unclear about what steps to take and when, leaving compliance gaps.
