OBJECTIVE
Embed low emissions considerations in fleet and plant policies and procedures.
IMPACT
High
This measure will assist in driving other fleet opportunities to realise abatement.

In our baseline year (2019/20), Fleet & Plant produced 10% of our total greenhouse gas emissions. We need to align our fleet policy with our Net Zero by 2035 target.

Include EVs in the vehicle list, and hydrogen when available
Zero emission vehicles are the first priority – procurement, vehicle selection for staff (private or pool).
Mandate adherence to policies.
Include eco-driver and EV driving training for all staff using Fleet
