We are pleased to announce that 90% of our company car fleet is now either fully electric or hybrid.
This impressive, industry-leading position demonstrates our ongoing commitment to reduce our carbon emissions and to be Net Zero by 2050.
Spencer Ward, Head of Fleet, explains how this notable milestone has been achieved.
“90% of our company car drivers have successfully transitioned away from diesel and petrol since we introduced the choice of alternatively fuelled vehicles in 2020. This represents over 1200 vehicles, 825 of which are fully electric, which is having a significant impact on the carbon emissions associated with business mileage and is something we are very proud to achieve.
This has been facilitated through our partnership with Lex AutoLease, who have been instrumental in bringing alternatively fuelled vehicles into every company car grade and supporting employees to choose a vehicle suited to their needs. This includes getting an understanding of an employee’s anticipated mileage, their ability to access to charging infrastructure, and ensuring the employee knows the tax implications associated with different vehicle choices.
To support the transition, we have also installed charge points at our regional offices and project locations, meaning it is easy for our employees and visitors to charge.”
Reducing emissions associated with business mileage is one of many ways that supports our target to be Net Zero by 2050. Read more about our approach in our Carbon Reduction Strategy here.
