Whistl cut emissions by about 20% since 2022. They are pushing for net zero by 2045. Most of the win seems to come from switching the car fleet to EV and buying renewable power.

99% EV car fleet is a solid number, but the real question is the heavy haulage. Did they move the needle on the larger trucks or just the last mile cars? That is where the actual carbon is.

Agreed. Moving cars to EV is the easy part of the transition. I want to know about the warehouse efficiency. Did they retrofit the hubs for heat pumps or just buy green certificates for the grid power?

A B rating from CDP is okay, but not top tier. I would be interested to see the breakdown of Scope 3 emissions. Logistics firms often hide the bulk of their impact in third party contracts.
