Fix Auto Buckingham celebrates ARIES Level 5
Fix Auto Buckingham has become the first Fix Auto UK repairer and only the second independent repairer in the UK to achieve ARIES Level 5.
ARIES is an environmental standard developed to improve energy efficiency, waste management, emissions reduction, regulatory compliance and sustainable business practices across bodyshops and repair centres.
Level 5 is the highest level of environmental accreditation within the framework. It involves calculating scopes one, two and three carbon emissions and developing a detailed carbon reduction management plan.
Fix Auto Buckingham owner Richard Taylor said: “Environmental responsibility is a key priority for our business, and ARIES has provided us with a recognised framework that’s specifically designed for the automotive repair industry.
“Being the first Fix Auto UK repairer to achieve Maturity Level 5 is another proud milestone for the business and reflects the commitment of our entire team to reducing our carbon footprint, improving resource efficiency and embedding sustainable practices throughout our operation. While we’re proud of this achievement, we’re equally focused on continuing our environmental journey.”
Tremendous achievement
Fix Auto UK operations director Mark Hutchins, added: “This is a tremendous achievement by Richard and the entire team at Fix Auto Buckingham. Achieving ARIES Maturity Level 5 is no mean feat and demonstrates a genuine commitment to environmental excellence rather than simply meeting compliance requirements.
“To become the first Fix Auto UK repairer to attain this level sets a benchmark for the rest of our Group and clearly illustrates how sustainability and operational excellence go hand in hand. Richard has always been passionate about continuous improvement, and this latest accreditation is further evidence of that ethos in action. Congratulations to everyone involved on reaching this important milestone.”
Commitment
Joanne Hopkinson, project manager energy services at Purchase Direct, with whom Fix Auto Buckingham partnered to achieve the goal, concluded:
“This accreditation demonstrates a genuine commitment to environmental excellence and continuous improvement. We’re proud to have supported the business through the assessment process and look forward to helping them build on this success through the Driving Net Zero programme.”
