Greener fleets

PHH Arval is launching a “green” initiative in conjunction with Environmental Defense to help fleets reduce pollution and save money through use of environmental and financial performance tools.

“The millions of fleet vehicles on the road in North America are critical for commerce and economic development, but they also impact the environment through oil and gas consumption and greenhouse gas pollution,” said George Kilroy, president & CEO of PHH Arval. “We want to help our clients measure and reduce these impacts, while improving their bottom line.”

The program intends to:

• Enable clients to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption through in-depth vehicle usage analysis and fleet consultation.

• Measure greenhouse gas emissions and report on environmental improvements over time.

• Offset remaining emissions via identification and purchase of credible greenhouse gas offsets.

The two firms formed a strategic partnership in 2005 to find ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while producing business benefits for commercial fleets.
