The Leasedrive Group, the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management group in the UK, has won the 'Leasing/Rental Company of the Year' Award at the 2006 GreenFleet Awards. The award is presented to the company judged to have made the most significant contribution to reducing the environmental impact of transport through: green fleet management and procurement, consultative practice, project management, partnerships, product design/technical innovation, training initiatives and information campaigns.
Leasedrive commercial director, Roddy Graham said: "Coming on the heels of winning the 'Best Contract Hire/Fleet Management Company' Award at this year's Fleet News Awards this is important recognition for all our fleet management initiatives. The latest of these, Carbon:Manager, which allows company car drivers to offset their CO2 emissions to become CarbonNeutral drivers, was singled out in the awards citation.
"Fully integrated within Drive:Manager, our online total vehicle management system, Carbon:Manager allows our clients to measure and reduce to 'net zero' the amount of CO2 emissions associated with their fleet and pick from three project types - renewable energy, energy efficiency and forestry projects - organised by our partner, The CarbonNeutral Company."
