Stephen Stone, chief executive of Crest Nicholson said “Being a sustainable developer is a matter of passion and commercial imperative and, whilst we may be benchmarked on our environmental performance in the external delivery of sustainable housing, it is also fundamental that we examine every aspect of our internal operations. Put simply, it’s about walking the talk. As a socially responsible developer we aim to encourage and facilitate more sustainable practices at every level of our operations, and the introduction of a new fleet management policy is a huge step in the right direction.”

The regulation of CO₂ emissions from company vehicles has been an integral part of government policy since 2002, but striving to reduce the emissions gap above and beyond government targets has long been a crucial aspect of Crest Nicholson’s company wide ethos to control the environmental impact of its business. The car scheme will therefore be reviewed annually to enable the company to maintain a close watch on the overall carbon footprint of the entire fleet, as well as monitor the production of new vehicles and thereby reduce the emissions cap in line with manufacturer achievements.
