Why bother?

5

Why Bother?

• Cost

– Fuel, taxation

• Carbon

– VED, BIK, Class 1A NIC, Capital Allowances all based on CO2

• Care

– Corporate Social Responsibility, Duty of Care

6

How much does a tonne of CO2 cost?

• Diesel
• 390.6 litres
• Jan 02 = £294.53
• Jan 04 = £306.64
• Jan 06 = £365.23
• Jan 08 = £426.56
• Jan 10 = £444.14
• Jan 12 = £553.52
• Jan 13 = £544.10
• Petrol
• 448.6 litres
• Jan 02 = £318.39
• Jan 04 = £344.84
• Jan 06 = £400.90
• Jan 08 = £467.71
• Jan 10 = £501.35
• Jan 12 = £596.41
• Jan 13 = £592.83

7

Where to Start?

• Data gathering, analysis and management
• Carbon footprint calculation
• Implementation of reduction measures and policies
• Review and revise

8

What Data?

• Vehicle details – registration, make, model, fuel type etc
• Annual fuel usage/annual business mileage per vehicle
• Applies to ALL vehicles used on business

9

Carbon Footprints

An accurate carbon footprint reflects:

• The ability of an organisation to:

– Report – Monitor – And manage core fleet costs

• The approach taken to address Duty of Care issues

– What are the employees driving (cash/grey)? – Does their business mileage place them at greater risk?

10

Carbon Footprints

• Needs to include business travel in ALL vehicles
• Calculation needs to be based on auditable metrics

11

Method No Applied When Accuracy

1 Litres of fuel used per vehicle over a given time period is known

Most Accurate

2 CO2 rating of the vehicle and annual mileage are known 3 Only the fuel type and engine size of the vehicle are known plus the annual mileage. 4 Only the vehicles fuel type and mileage are known 5 Only vehicle mileage data is known

Least Accurate

What Next?

• Plug any gaps in data recording processes, for example

– Fuel usage data – Business mileage data – Grey fleet data (vehicle, registration, mileage claimed)

• Identify areas making the biggest contribution to carbon

footprint

• Examine areas and implement carbon (and cost) reduction

measures

12

Example Measures

• Vehicle procurement/choice

– Whole life costs, downsizing, CO2 limits

• Fuel management

– Purchasing policy, fuel economy benchmarks

• Mileage reduction strategies

– Where do staff go? reimbursement rates

• Alternatives to private car use

– Lease car, daily rental, pool car, car club

• Use of technology

– Speed limiters, telematics, stop/start, plug in vehicles

• Driver training

– Efficient driving techniques

13

Example Measures

• Policies

– Business travel, grey fleet, business mileage reimbursement

14

Review and Revise

• Fast moving marketplace
• What’s right now may not be right in 12 months time
