The Accident Repair Industry Environmental Standard (ARIES) has officially been launched.
ARIES is a UK industry-wide initiative designed to measure and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions within the vehicle accident repair sector.
ARIES carbon reduction standard
Backed by investment from leading motor insurers and industry stakeholders, ARIES supports research, development, and rigorous verification of sustainability measures, and is designed to help repairers to take meaningful climate action.
As energy costs rise and the urgency to tackle emissions grows, ARIES offers a practical, step-by-step pathway for repairers to make lasting changes. The process begins with a declaration of commitment and continues with milestones that recognise tangible achievements as energy use and carbon output are measured, managed, and reduced.
The ultimate rewards are lower operating costs, reduced emissions, and greater client and customer recognition for an industry that is future-ready.
ARIES website
While international standards can be complex and requirements from work providers can vary, ARIES offers a single, accessible “bridge of understanding” that guides repairers in manageable steps — delivering benefits in the short, medium, and long term.
The ARIES website is not for profit, providing an information portal and carbon disclosure platform for the industry. It looks at risks, opportunities, and impacts, and turns data into decisive action. Together, we can build a more resilient, sustainable, and transparent future.
