OBJECTIVE
IMPACT
MediumEstimated 1,170 tonnes Co2-e between 2021 and 2035. Abatement can be achieved across entire fleet. Eco-driving can result in up to 10% in fuel efficiency.
Description
Eco-driving can reduce emissions through more efficient operation of vehicles and machinery. Savings through reduced fuel consumption through more efficient driving will also accrue.
All staff operating fleet vehicles or equipment should complete training in eco-driving. The training will be part of the staff induction package, and refreshers will run at minimum every 5 years.
This action will also have flow-on effects on emissions generated through staff commuting.
