Stagecoach accelerates sustainability decision‑making with EcoOnline’s ESG software, powered by Ecometrica

Stagecoach is the UK’s largest bus and coach operator, connecting over 100 towns and cities across England, Scotland, and Wales. With a team of 25,000 across the UK and nearly 10% of its 8,400-unit fleet now electric, Stagecoach is firmly on the path to greener, smarter transport.

Ranked in the top 6% of CDP-reporting businesses with an A‑ rating, the company is deeply embedded in local communities and committed to delivering reliable services that support people, places, and the planet.

Stagecoach’s sustainability journey was constrained by time‑consuming, spreadsheet‑based data collection. Greg Ritz, Head of Sustainability, recognised the need for a modern, automated solution. With complex data points and fragmented manual processes, insights were slow and visibility was limited.

That changed with EcoOnline’s ESG software powered by Ecometrica, a solution Greg knew from previous work. Transitioning to EcoOnline was seamless thanks to clear, professional support from the EcoOnline team.

The mission

At Stagecoach, sustainability reporting and carbon tracking are critical to business strategy. With 18 operating companies across the UK, Stagecoach needed an automated system that empowers each sub‑team with its own ESG insights while centralising data for fast, organisation-wide decision-making. Manual auditing and data entry limitations were slowing progress and preventing timely action.

The solution

EcoOnline’s ESG software has replaced Stagecoach’s spreadsheet-heavy processes with a streamlined, user-friendly system that makes sustainability data easier to manage and understand. Rather than wrestling with headache-inducing excel sheets, the entire team can now engage with clear, relevant insights tailored to their needs.

The impact

The impact of EcoOnline’s ESG software at Stagecoach has been clear and immediate. Data implementation is now simpler and faster, with greater confidence in the results thanks to consistent communication and system transparency. Each operating company can access and visualise its own data, empowering local teams to make meaningful sustainability improvements on the ground. ESG reporting has become audit-ready, automated, and far more accessible.

The big standout for me is the simplicity of the BI system. When we’re able to slice and analyse the data at a granular level, it really provides that decision‑useful information for our main shareholder.“
