In 2024, Webfleet, the renowned fleet management solution from Bridgestone, has been awarded the gold medal by EcoVadis. This achievement marks a milestone in its journey, as it is the first time it has reached this level, placing it in the top 5% of approximately 150,000 companies assessed worldwide. This recognition highlights Webfleet’s commitment to sustainability and transparency in its value chain.

A recognition of sustainability and transparency

The assessment conducted by EcoVadis focuses on the quality of organizations’ sustainability management systems and their dedication to transparency. Since Webfleet began its journey in 2022 with a bronze rating, it has worked tirelessly to improve in four key areas: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Compared to the score obtained in 2023, Webfleet has achieved double-digit improvements in each of these areas, reaffirming its intention to adopt a responsible business model.

Commitment to environmental sustainability

The achievement of the gold medal also reflects the efforts that Webfleet has implemented to strengthen its sustainable approach. 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 EMEA: a leader in sustainability

The parent company of Webfleet, Bridgestone EMEA, has been recognized with the EcoVadis platinum rating every year since 2021, representing the highest distinction awarded by this entity. 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. This recognition not only highlights the company’s journey in terms of fleet management but also reflects its ongoing dedication to sustainability and transparency in its supply chain.

Since its beginning in 2022, when it was awarded the bronze rating, Webfleet has demonstrated a firm commitment by improving its performance in critical areas such as environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. 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.

With this achievement, Webfleet positions itself not only as a leader in the fleet management sector but also as a reference in the movement towards a more conscious and responsible company. Its path towards sustainability is an inspiring example for other organizations seeking to balance business growth with environmental respect. The obtaining of the EcoVadis gold medal marks a decisive step in this journey, consolidating its reputation as pioneers in sustainability within the industry.
