GAP strikes Silver for green initiatives

2 February 2022

GAP Group has achieved a Silver Level accolade at the 2021 Scottish Green Apple Awards for Environmental Best Practice.

The Green Organisation, an independent, international environment group, hold the awards annually to recognise best practice around the world. The scheme is supported by the Royal Environment Health Institute of Scotland (Rehis).

GAP earned the award for various environmental activities and low-carbon site initiatives, including its Environmental & Innovative product fleet, which includes battery and solar powered equipment, and for its carbon emissions tracking telematics system, GAPTrack.

GAPTrack is an automated carbon reporting tool which has been installed across the company’s hire fleet. It enables customers to monitor and enforce behavioural change with respect to fuel efficiency and emission reductions.

Karen Greenshields, managing director technical and environmental services at GAP, commented: “We were delighted to receive news of our successful submission. To achieve the Silver level of the award highlights the hard work that GAP is putting in to really make a difference with regards to climate change by starting at home and focusing on reducing our impact on the environment in every way we can, whilst offering the necessary tools and resources for our customers to do so, too.”

As reported earlier, GAP has set itself the target of becoming net zero by 2040.
