In environmental terms, the company has undertaken significant initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint and facilitate the decarbonization of fleets. Among the highlighted actions are:
- Sustainable packaging: currently, 80% of Webfleet’s products use eco-friendly materials, aiming to reach 95% by 2026.
- Renewable energy: all Webfleet data centers and 80% of its offices operate on 100% renewable energy.
- Environmental certifications: since 2020, Webfleet has maintained the ISO 14001 standard (environmental management) and since 2021 the ISO 50001 (energy management).
- Fuel consumption optimization: the company offers solutions to decrease fuel expenditure and CO₂ emissions, with special attention to electric vehicles.
- CO₂ calculation and compensation: through the Treecovery program from Justdiggit, customers can calculate and neutralize their carbon footprint with the Webfleet Green Your Fleet tool.

Bridgestone was first assessed in 2015 and achieved gold status in 2019. These advancements not only underscore Webfleet’s efforts but also reinforce Bridgestone’s sustainable business model, aligning with the company’s E8 Commitment, a corporate initiative aimed at promoting a more sustainable society.
Facing the Future with Sustainability
In the context of the growing global environmental awareness, Webfleet has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining the gold medal from EcoVadis in 2024.

The company’s ability to advance in these aspects, significantly improving its scores, indicates a comprehensive transformation towards more responsible and sustainable practices.
This approach is also reflected in the innovations implemented to reduce the carbon footprint and support decarbonization. Initiatives such as the use of sustainable packaging, the adoption of 100% renewable energy, and the optimization of fuel consumption are clear examples of how Webfleet is taking concrete steps towards a greener future. Additionally, its collaboration with Justdiggit to neutralize emissions through the Treecovery program further emphasizes its commitment to environmental recovery.
