“We’re very proud to be part of this momentous event and help get TV and film’s finest to the EE BAFTA Film Awards sustainably and safely,” said Liam Griffin, Addison Lee’s CEO. “As London’s quality car and taxi provider, our pledge to go fully electric by 2023 is our commitment to a cleaner London and supporting the Mayor’s goal of a net-zero city by 2030.”
“BAFTA is doing everything it can to ensure its Awards are as sustainable as possible, from food and transport to branding and materials. This year we are working with Addison Lee as an Official Car Supplier, which is offering a fleet of fully electric cars to help minimise our impact on the environment, ” said Louise Robertson, Director of Partnership and Fundraising, BAFTA.
In September 2021, Addison Lee announced an investment in £160m worth of electric Volkswagen ID.4 vehicles as it pledged to move to a fully-electric passenger car fleet by 2023.
