Commitment to the environment
Managing our emissions
FleetPartners was the first fleet management organisation in the ANZ region to attain certifications covering our commitment to emissions reduction in all operational regions.
Climate Active in Australia
Our Australian operations were initially certified as a Climate Active Carbon Neutral Organisation in the 2016-17 reporting period (under our former names, FleetPlus and Eclipx Group). We continued to attain re-certification every year since and are currently awaiting confirmation of re-certification covering our FY24 emissions reporting period.
FY25 will be our final full certification period as we have decided to withdraw from the Climate Active program, effective December 31st, 2025. This decision ensures we focus our decarbonisation efforts on direct emissions reduction across our value chain.
Toitū New Zealand
We first achieved the Toitū Net Carbonzero organisation re-certification in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 in FY21. Toitū’s Net Carbonzero certification is issued by Toitū Envirocare - a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Research Institute Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research.
Accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ) and the world’s first carbon certification program, Toitū recognised FleetPartners for the fourth consecutive year in FY25 (covering our FY24 emission reporting period).
Carbon offsetting
The Climate Active and Toitū certifications cover our corporate operations, including Scope 1, 2 and certain upstream Scope 3 emissions (they exclude our leased assets). To achieve certification, we purchase and retire carbon offsets to achieve a net carbon zero position. The following table provides a summary of the offsets we purchased and retired in 2025.
Project name | Type of offset unit | Registry | Date retired | Quantity retired |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Bundled Wind Power Project by Mytrah Group | VCUs | Verra | 21/02/2025 | 2,563 |
Urana Carbon Farming Pty Ltd as Trustee for the Crook-King Family Trust | ACCUs | CER | 21/02/2025 | 165 |
VPA 2B Coastal Kenya Borehole Rehabilitation Project | Gold Standard | Gold Standard | 28/08/2025 | 132 |

Emission reduction targets
In 2023, we publicly committed to the following carbon emission reduction targets. Progress against these target is included in our FY25 Annual Report.
- Scope 1 – Zero emissions by FY30 (absolute target)
- Scope 2 – Zero emissions by FY30 (absolute target)
- Scope 3 – 3.54 tCO2-e per FTE by FY30 (intensity target) from a FY22 baseline

Journey to lower emissions
Organisations are increasingly focused on their role as good corporate citizens and reducing their environmental impact. While intent and momentum for businesses to move to a lower emission fleet is building rapidly, we understand that it’s not always achievable in the immediate term and can be a challenging process to navigate.
That’s why we’re supporting our customers on the 5-Step Journey to reducing fleet emissions – a comprehensive program with competitive financial solutions to transition to low or zero (exhaust) emission vehicles. We are uniquely positioned to provide one of Australia’s most competitive financial solutions, supporting our customers to transition their fleet.
We achieve this by offering:
- a 0.5% discount* on the interest rate of fleet operating leases, in addition to our already competitive finance rates
- highly competitive residual values (RVs)#
making the financial decision to transition from internal combustion engine equivalents easy.
Our work with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) invests on behalf of the Australian Government and has a key focus on cutting emissions across the economy, including transport. Working alongside the CEFC, we deliver a unique offering to the Australian fleet landscape. We have financed more than A$100 million worth of vehicles via our clean energy funding facility, since its establishment in 2015.
Highly competitive residual rates are guaranteed#
We offer highly competitive residual values and our bold approach makes it easier for customers to switch from fossil-fuel-emitting vehicles. The principles on which we make this offer are three-fold. We:
- Have a strong belief in the future of EVs and confidence in Australia’s move to become an EV-dominant market;
- Are passionate about the positive environmental impacts which EVs yield; and,
- Have an unwavering commitment to help our customers achieve their zero-emission fleet goals.
In practical terms, the combination of these financial measures – the interest rate discount and highly competitive RV – deliver very competitive monthly operating lease rentals and a compelling reason for our customers to transition to EVs.
HOW IT WORKS: Our strategic approach to guiding our customers through the 5-step journey.
1. Carbon Strategy
The first step is to consider what the business is trying to achieve in terms of emissions reductions and over what timeframe. With decades of fleet management expertise and strategic consulting, we play a key role supporting our customers to define and clearly document their carbon strategy.
2. Fleet Mission
Understanding the fundamental purpose of the fleet and how it is being used is the next step. We have a range of tools to analyse fleet usage and provide critical data to inform this process.
3. Vehicle Selection and Funding
The selection of vehicles is an important step to ensuring they work for their intended purpose. There are several things to consider when selecting more sustainable vehicles, and the timing and funding of those vehicles is paramount.
4. Charging and Infrastructure
Charging and the associated infrastructure keeps vehicles moving and drivers on the road. Mapping and managing the installation of charging solutions is critical to the overall success of any carbon reduction strategy. Partnering with JetCharge, Australia’s leading charging infrastructure specialists, we guide our customers through this process.
5. Vehicle Policy and Employee Engagement
Transitioning to an electric fleet can be met with some reluctance by staff, due to the perceived limitations of range and features. So, getting staff on board and excited about moving to more sustainable vehicles takes careful planning and a well-considered communications program. Our solution helps to combat misconceptions and educate on the benefits of an EV fleet.
*The 0.5% interest rate discount is applied to the prevailing interest rates set by FleetPartners to calculate monthly lease rentals. #The RV guarantee applies to the RV set by FleetPartners on the ICE vehicle equivalent.
