RAC rewarded with sustainability silver from EcoVadis
The RAC has been awarded a Silver rating by EcoVadis for its commitment to sustainability.
EcoVadis is the world’s largest provider of business sustainability ratings. It evaluates organisations across environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
Its methodology is recognised internationally and used by companies across sectors to benchmark and improve their environmental and social impact.
The silver rating places the RAC among the top 15% of the 130,000 companies assessed, and reflects the company’s progress in strengthening its sustainability strategy and progress towards decarbonisation.
It is now aiming to achieve net zero by 2050 by optimising routes and driving behaviours, rolling out electric vans and using alternative fuels, reducing office emissions and waste and increasing sustainable procurement.
Strong endorsement
RAC chief executive Dave Hobday said: “The Silver rating is a strong endorsement of the work we’re doing to reduce our environmental footprint and operate responsibly.
“Being placed in the top 15% of companies globally is an important milestone, and one we’re committed to build on as we scale our breakdown, insurance and service, maintenance and repair divisions.
“As we continue to evolve our services, we remain focused on delivering an excellent member experience in a sustainable way.”
