Work Benefits Provider Celebrates Major Milestone With Green Pledge

Most organisations would choose to celebrate a major event with music and cake. However, one of the UK’s leading work benefits provider is taking a different and somewhat unusual approach. To mark 10 years in service, Fleet Evolution vowed to plant 100 trees for every scheme put in place during October 2020. This highlights the award-winning electric vehicle specialist’s dedication to the environment.

Fleet Evolution’s salary sacrifice scheme enables employees to exchange a portion of their taxable wage each month for a low-emission, environmentally friendly electric vehicle. Their mission is to make it easier for workers to make the switch to electric. They’re dedicated to helping us reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 under the Road to Zero initiative. They also hope to help employers boost employee satisfaction whilst boost retention rates. This is through the provision of attractive and beneficial work perks.

Electric Cars are Much Better for the Environment

Compared to traditional vehicles, well there is no comparison really. Electric vehicles emit zero exhaust emissions at street level and significantly boost local air quality. Making the switch is more important now than ever before. Since the 2018 Road to Zero mission was announced, the Government has also announced plans to prohibit the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030. A ban on hybrid vehicles will also come into play in 2035.

“Planting trees is a fantastic way to strengthen and improve our environment. They breathe in harmful carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the air. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate Fleet Evolution’s tenth birthday! Pledging to plant 100 trees for every scheme we set up during October, our “birth” month, it’s very us!” says Andrew Leech, Founder and Managing Director of Fleet Evolution. “We want to reach out and send a message of thanks! To each and every organisation that purchased a scheme and switched to electric vehicles in October. Together, we really can make a difference and do our part to protect the planet.”

Fleet Evolution was Founded by Leech back in October 2010

When the long term fleet management expert discovered that many suppliers were refusing to form partnerships with smaller businesses, particularly those with fewer than 1000 employees. Determined to transform the industry, Leech’s first customer under the Fleet Evolution brand had only 50 employees. Now, a decade later, the company has worked with businesses ranging from just three workers to over 10,000! Truly offering flexible, environmentally-friendly benefits for everyone.

Fleet Evolution confirms that, during October 2020, it implemented a total of 21 workplace benefit schemes across the country! As a result, the organisation has committed to planting a minimum of 2100 trees. 100 for each scheme, a great start in a bid to do its part, and celebrate its 10th anniversary.
