Whistl cut emissions by about 20 percent since 2022. They are pushing for net zero by 2045 and have mostly switched their car fleet to EVs. Worth a look for anyone tracking logistics decarbonization.

99 percent of the car fleet is EV or low emission, but what about the heavy haulage? That is where the real emissions are in logistics. I wonder how they are handling the charging infrastructure for the larger vehicles.

A B rating from CDP is decent, but the 2045 target is a long runway. The real test will be how they account for Scope 3 emissions from their wider supply chain, which usually dwarfs the car fleet gains.

Renewable energy sourcing is the easy part. I am more curious about the operational efficiency of their warehouses. If they are not retrofitting the buildings, the energy gains are just a paper exercise.
