Do you cover the emissions of the vehicles we sell?

Yes. Fuel or electricity used by vehicles after they are sold falls under Scope 3 category 11, use of sold products, and we model it alongside the rest of your value chain. Where you hold real-world efficiency or mileage data we use it; otherwise we work from recognised factors.

We run dealerships and workshops across a lot of sites. Can that be reported as one footprint?

Yes. NetScope reports at site level and rolls the sites up into a single group footprint, so you can hand a customer one number and still see which depot or dealership it came from.

Sector challenges

Why automotive carbon is its own problem

Generic carbon reporting does not survive contact with a dealer network or a tiered parts supply chain:

Most of the footprint sits outside your own operations: vehicle and parts manufacture, inbound logistics, and the fuel burned by everything you sell

Dealerships, depots and workshops spread energy, fuel and refrigerant data across dozens of sites, so a single group figure is slow to assemble

Automotive suppliers are increasingly asked for a Carbon Reduction Plan to bid for fleet, public sector and manufacturer contracts

How we help

How Net Zero Group helps automotive businesses

Software that pulls a multi-site network into one footprint, with consultants who know what a manufacturer or fleet customer will ask you to evidence.

Multi-site and dealer network reporting

Energy, fuel and refrigerant data from every dealership, depot and workshop rolled up into one group footprint, and reportable site by site.

Scope 3 supply chain modelling

Parts, materials and inbound logistics modelled across the value chain, refined with supplier-specific data where it is available.

Our Scope 3 supply chain service covers supplier engagement end to end.

PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plans

Compliant plans for automotive businesses bidding into public sector and large fleet contracts.

See Carbon Reduction Plans for what a compliant plan has to contain.

Fleet and employee travel reporting

Company vehicles, grey fleet, commuting and home working captured through NetScope Engage.

More on NetScope Engage and how employees submit their own data.

Reporting obligations rarely arrive one at a time. See compliance reporting for how customer requests sit alongside SECR, ESOS and the rest, or NetScope for the software your reporting actually runs on.
