Europcar

Carbon offset
5,161 tonnes CO₂-e

Europcar is deeply committed to the environment and to sustainability and prides itself on being the industry leader in this field. Our employees are involved deeply in the development and implementation of sustainability initiatives which will lead to an ongoing sustainable culture. In recognition of the importance in reducing carbon emissions, Europcar Australia launched its carbon offset program in December 2006.

Europcar recognises it is important not only to offset emissions but to reduce them and has put in place a number of other actions to reduce the carbon emissions. This includes:

• The addition of hybrid vehicles (such as the Toyota Prius) to the fleet;
• Increasing the number of diesel fuelled vehicles on fleet; and
• Publishing the emissions ratings on all vehicles so customers can actively choose vehicles with lower emissions.

We want to involve our customers in Europcar's sustainability initiatives- this includes education on how they can reduce their environmental impact when renting vehicles as well as their own private vehicles.

Globally Europcar is committed to the environment, with Europcar International the first car rental company to receive Bureau Veritas Certification for its Environmental Charter. Europcar is first company to be awarded World's Leading Green Transport Solution Company at the World Travel Awards.
