The exchange programme was developed earlier this year and demonstrates Elior’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Elior will replace their petrol and diesel company cars with eco-efficient vehicles that are EV (full electric), PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric) or non plug-in electric.
Charlotte Wright, corporate social responsibility at Elior UK , said: “As a responsible company, we wholly recognise the importance of preserving natural resources and the positive impact this will have on society and in our continued commitment to our ESG programme, it’s essential that our people are part of the journey.
“The UK government has announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. We are ahead of this, going green with our vehicles is a big step in the changes we are working towards in becoming a more environmentally-sound business.”
The contract caterer will be investing in electric charging points at its head offices in London and Macclesfield.
