Industry-First Carbon Calculator For Bulk Mail Customers
We are delighted to unveil the launch of our Fuel Carbon Calculator to Downstream Access (DSA) customers.
The Carbon Calculator has been designed to help bulk mail customers reduce their carbon footprint by opting to use Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) rather than diesel for the collection and trunking of their bulk mail.
Through using the Fuel Carbon Calculator, customers can establish the number of litres of fuel used to transport their mail and then calculate the CO2 savings that can be achieved by using HVO rather than diesel.
This initiative is launching with NatWest - the first customer to reduce their carbon emissions through this innovative product, and the first in the Downstream Access Bulk Mail sector.
The new product benefits Whistl and its customers as we can both reduce carbon emissions. By using HVO, we reduce the CO2 we generate, while our customers can reduce their CO2 impact under Scope 3 reporting*.
Reducing Scope 3 Emissions is Key Focus
The drive to reduce Scope 3 emissions has been particularly problematic for businesses. The classification encompasses emissions that are not produced by the company itself and are not the result of activities from assets owned or controlled by them, but rather by those that it's indirectly responsible for up and down its value chain.

Cutting Carbon in logistics is tough due to the nature of the industry but that does not stop us taking steps that will not only benefit Whistl but also our customers. Through using the Fuel Carbon Calculator, customers can establish how they can reduce their CO2 by using HVO to help meet their Net-Zero commitments.
