The Energy Saving Trust is seeking nominations for the 2011 Fleet Heroes Awards for the UK's greenest fleets. The prestigious awards celebrate public and private organisations that are successfully reducing their fuel bills and lowering carbon footprints through fleet travel and transport policies. They also highlight companies that supply fuel and cost-saving products or services to car and van fleets.
The awards are open to fleets of any size in the public and private sectors. The diverse range of previous winners includes construction contractors, NHS trusts, automotive manufacturers, government departments and agencies, courier companies and local councils.
The 11 categories are: Best Public Sector; Best Private Sector; Innovation in Fleet Management; Innovation in Car and Van manufacture; Innovation in Services and Systems; Industry Supplier; Leadership; Smarter Driving; Grey Fleet Management; Business Mileage Management; and Van Fleet Management.
Nigel Underdown, Head of Transport Advice for the Energy Saving Trust, said: “Road transport accounts for over a fifth of the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions, and businesses are in an ideal position to make a positive impact. We find that organisations taking action to reduce fleet emissions are actually saving money as well as helping our nation meet its sustainability goals. These organisations deserve to be celebrated and honoured as Fleet Heroes.”
Applying is straightforward and quick, initially requiring only a 250 word entry outlining why your organisation should win. The deadline for initial applications is Tuesday 20th September 2011.
See the website for more information.
Those applicants who qualify to enter the second and final round of judging will be notified by Tuesday 27th September 2011 and invited to submit a second, more detailed application by Friday 14th October 2011.
