Geotab’s GHG emissions report: A certified solution for CSRD compliance
Accurate emissions tracking for reliable sustainability reporting
As businesses prepare for the CSRD, having accurate, transparent, and certified emissions data is critical. Geotab’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Report simplifies emissions tracking by automating the calculation of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂-eq) for fleet vehicles, ensuring compliance with CSRD and other global sustainability frameworks.
Geotab’s GHG Emissions Report utilizes a calculation method that has been certified by TÜV Rheinland Energy & Environment GmbH. This certification confirms that the method used for calculating CO₂ emissions follows the requirements of the GHG Protocol. It is important to note that the certification applies only to the calculation method itself—not to individual customer data, specific calculation results, or compliance with any regulatory framework.
- Automated CO₂-eq Calculation – Track Scope 1 and outside-of-scope emissions from fleet vehicles, including CO₂, methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O)
- Data-Driven Insights – Monitor trends in monthly CO₂-equivalent emissions to inform sustainability strategies
- Regulatory Compliance Support – Align emissions reporting with CSRD’s ESRS E1 framework, as well as global sustainability initiatives like CDP and the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
- Customizable Reporting – Generate reports tailored to company-specific ESG goals and compliance needs
- Enhanced Stakeholder Confidence – Leverage a certified methodology to meet regulatory expectations and build transparency in emissions disclosure
The GHG Emissions Report integrates with Geotab’s Sustainability Center to help fleets move beyond simple reporting — turning centralised fleet data into actionable insights that drive continuous emissions reduction and performance improvement.
