Whistl Launches Carbon Calculator to Help Customers Reduce Emissions

Whistl, the UK’s leading logistics specialists in e-fulfilment, mail and parcels, has launched a new Fuel Carbon Calculator. The Calculator has been designed to help its 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.

Whistl is launching the Fuel Carbon Calculator with NatWest - its 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 both can reduce their carbon emissions. By using HVO, Whistl reduces the CO2 it generates, while customers can reduce their CO2 impact under Scope 3 reporting. 

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.
