Europcar boosts energy supplier
August 30, 2008 Posted by: Paul Lucas
Gas and electricity customers in the UK haven’t had much to celebrate recently with a series of price hikes from the leading energy suppliers including Eon increasing its gas prices by 26 per cent and its electricity prices by 16 per cent. It’s probably scant consolation therefore to realise that the energy provider is at least making some efforts to reduce its own output and emission levels.
Eon has formed a partnership with Europcar, the vehicle rental provider, in an effort to meet the far-reaching environmental demands of the business. Europcar has been selected as the company’s sole vehicle rental supplier, helping the energy company reach its corporate and social responsibilities.
Speaking after the announcement of the pan-European contract, David Graham, fleet manager for Eon UK, said: “We needed a pan-European daily rental supplier who would work with us on our carbon agenda, to ensure we were meeting our company’s criteria on cutting carbon emissions.
“In response to our requirements, Europcar has responded excellently to our new policy of only using vehicles that have 120g/km or 140g/km carbon emission. This has also enabled us to meet our environmental targets by ensuring the range of vehicles being used by staff, are restricted to those within the small and medium groups.”
Europcar too indicated that meeting the company’s environmental goals was a key criterion in its strategy.
