We are conscious of the need to minimise our impact on the environment as much as possible. To avoid the potential for ‘greenwashing’ our Board took the decision to be more proactively involved in our carbon offsetting. To date, we have planted 8,000 trees within the Northeast region and created a large wildlife pond to encourage wildlife diversity in the area. Wherever possible we have also created green spaces at our main depots to provide staff with somewhere quiet to take a moment, recharge and enjoy any wildlife that shares the area with us.
Fleet Factors have developed a Carbon Action Plan (CAP) identifying ways in which we can work to reduce both our own and our clients’ carbon impact. Our aim is to reduce the level of resources that we use each year by educating our employees, increasing the levels of reuse and recycling within the business, moving to renewable energy sources wherever possible, improving our vehicle fleet and reducing its emissions as well as being actively involved as a responsible supply chain member. Our commitment to this is demonstrated by our ISO 14001 accreditation.
