Stagecoach is the UK’s largest bus and coach operator connecting over 100 towns and cities with a workforce of 25,000. With nearly 10% of its fleet now electric and a top-tier CDP rating (A-), sustainability is central to its long-term strategy.
Sustainability reporting at Stagecoach previously relied on spreadsheets and manual processes. Data collection was time-consuming, fragmented, and difficult to scale across 18 operating companies. That’s when they turned to EcoOnline.
Hi. I’m Greg Ritz. I’m the head of sustainability at Stagecoach Group. I’ve had an opportunity to work with Ecometrica in the past at a previous organization. And then when it came to Stagecoach Group, we were working using mostly Excel spreadsheets, and I wanted to transition that to a more automated process. Found that through that process, Ecometrica’s tune had not changed. It was still very professional, very clear cut, very concise. Stagecoach’s data is quite complex, and there are lots of data points to to input. Our Excel spreadsheets were were were quite comprehensive. Working with the analysts quite closely to to do that has has really sort of helped expedite that whole process. And what we found in transferring the data from one source to another has really been quite simple because of the communication that we’ve got. It’s all of those little things that actually make a difference for an organization like us to have confidence in the data that we’ve got. In Stagecoach, each operating company will have access to visualize their own data. From a use perspective, there are two or three people at the moment that will be able to input data. We’re also looking to try and automate that as much as possible. So going through our own data warehouse where we collect information, will then make the whole system move more quickly. We might take out those links in the chain to make auditing our data much more simple. The big standout for me is the ability, simplicity of the BI system. When we’re able to slice and analyze the data at such a granular level, it really provides that decision useful information for for our main shareholder. But more importantly, I think the eighteen operating companies that we have having access to that is really helping them understand their their data, and they’re able to actually make tangible changes on the ground and see effectively real time changes.
Thanks to EcoOnline, we’re able to slice and analyse data at a granular level. It provides decision‑useful information for our main shareholder.
