About this specialisation

At organisational level, vehicle fleet emissions represent between 12 - 20% of humanitarian organisation's overall carbon footprint. However, at country office level, vehicle fleets can be the highest contributor to the carbon footprint.

There is a need to apply strategies to lower the impact that fleet has on the climate and environment.

You know your fleet needs to become more sustainable—but do you know how to do it? Become a driving force in your organisation’s sustainability efforts!

By taking the online specialisation Sustainable Fleet Management: Reducing the Environmental Impact of Your Fleet, you’ll gain the insights needed to become that change, get the practical knowledge and skills to reduce emissions associated with fleet and set yourself up for success.

"The practical examples and case studies shared during the training were incredibly helpful. They provided a clear insight into how sustainable fleet management can be implemented effectively."


Daniel Moglia

"The definition of the new types of vehicles, like electric and hybrids, and understanding how they work, including myth-busting, was a highlight for me. I also liked learning the new action planning cycle and the broader view in the process of accepting change management for the sustainable fleet and stakeholders' involvement."
