Addison Lee Environmental Commitments
Addison Lee takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously and there are several awards to prove it - in 2009 Addison Lee were the first and only company to be awarded prestigious Diamond status by the London Green500.
The London Green500 is a pioneering carbon mentoring scheme, which aims to recognise London organizations taking action to reduce their CO2 emissions. Addison Lee’s Diamond level award was given in acknowledgement of ‘historic and on-going progress towards reducing carbon emissions.’ Addison Lee were also awarded the Green500 Leader Award for ‘highest performance in achieving carbon reductions in London’ ahead of household names including Boots, British Land, TfL and Pret A Manger.
Other environmental awards include Winner of the BP Car and Van Fuel Efficiency Awards 2009 and the Energy Saving Trust ‘Best Large Fleet 2008’.
A groundbreaking auto allocator is responsible for Addison Lee’s success in managing and reducing emissions. The technology automatically allocates the closest car to the job, and has cut 18,000 miles of dead mileage per day, saving 5.3 tonnes of CO2. Addison Lee has achieved a 21% reduction in carbon emissions in 2008 and 38.6% saving since 2002.
All Addison Lee drivers attend free eco-driving courses run by The Energy Saving Trust and Addison Lee also recycles 98% of its waste.
