Fiveways Municipal Vehicle Hire have kicked off our journey to net zero, teaming up with carbon experts Auditel to help drive this goal.

At Fiveways Municipal Vehicle Hire Ltd, we envision leading the way in creating a more sustainable, low-carbon future for the municipal vehicle hire industry. We are committed to achieving net zero emissions by reducing our environmental footprint across every aspect of our operations, from investing in electric and alternative-fuel vehicles to improving fleet efficiency and adopting renewable energy sources.

By collaborating with local authorities, suppliers, and technology partners, we aim to deliver cleaner, smarter transport solutions that support the UK’s broader net zero targets while continuing to provide reliable, high-performance vehicles for our customers.

Partnering with Auditel is a crucial step in achieving our net zero goal. Auditel’s expertise in carbon measurement, reduction strategies, and sustainability consulting enabled us to accurately assess our emissions and identify meaningful opportunities for improvement.

Emma Cheesman, Head of Development, comments, “Auditel provides the independent insight, data integrity, and strategic guidance we need to build a credible, science-based pathway to net zero. By working with them, we ensure our actions are transparent, measurable, and aligned with best industry practices, helping us to reduce our environmental impact while continuing to deliver exceptional service to our customers.”

At Fiveways Municipal Vehicle Hire, we believe that sustainability is everyone’s responsibility. Measuring and reducing our carbon footprint is essential not only for protecting the environment but also for safeguarding the long-term resilience of our business.

For our employees, it reflects our shared commitment to working for a company that values people and the planet. For our customers and suppliers, it demonstrates accountability, innovation, and a proactive approach to meeting shared environmental goals.

Sustainability and carbon reduction are rising priorities across the municipal vehicle hire and waste management sector, yet many organisations have yet to take meaningful steps.

Fiveways recognise the urgency, not only to meet growing expectations in tender processes, where carbon reduction plans and published data are increasingly scrutinised, but also to strengthen our reputation. By taking proactive measures, we aim to position ourselves as a responsible business and gain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market.

Fiveways Municipal Vehicle Hire is committed to achieving net zero and is actively taking steps toward that goal. However, we remain grounded in the realities of today’s market. We recognise that, due to geographic and economic constraints, some customers may not yet be able to adopt more sustainable vehicle options.

However, Fiveways Municipal Vehicle Hire remains determined to reach net zero by reducing our environmental footprint across every part of the business.
