How Copart Gave Every Team Visibility Into Their Carbon Data

Overview

Copart, the global leader in online vehicle auctions and remarketing, needed to consolidate carbon reporting across their UK operations — multiple vehicle processing centres, transport fleets, and office sites — into a single source of truth.

The challenge

With operations spanning dozens of UK sites, a large vehicle transport fleet, and growing pressure from stakeholders for transparent environmental reporting, Copart needed to move beyond ad-hoc sustainability tracking.

• Multi-site operations across dozens of UK vehicle processing and storage facilities • Large transport fleet with complex fuel consumption tracking • SECR compliance requirements as a large UK company • No centralised system for emissions data — reliance on spreadsheets and manual data collection • Growing demand from vehicle manufacturers and insurers for supply chain sustainability data

The solution

Climatise became Copart's central platform for measuring and managing emissions across all UK operations, providing what their sustainability team calls a "sustainability control tower."

Multi-Site Onboarding: All UK sites mapped and configured in the platform with individual energy profiles, fleet data feeds, and operational boundaries.

Fleet Emissions Tracking: Vehicle transport fleet fuel consumption tracked and converted to emissions using DEFRA factors, broken down by route and vehicle type.

Scope 3 Screening: Global Scope 3 screening across all 15 GHG Protocol categories, identifying purchased goods, waste, and employee commuting as priority areas.

Reporting & Engagement: Automated SECR reports plus internal dashboards shared across operational teams to drive ownership of emission reductions.

Impact

• All sites consolidated into one platform • Full Scope 3 screening completed • Fleet emissions tracked by route • Shared ownership across teams

What they said

"Our operations team, fleet managers, and board all look at the same data now. That changed everything. I can focus on driving real reductions instead of chasing data."
