Description

When people think of Severn Trent, they immediately think of water and waste – and that's only natural – it's our bread and butter after all… but very few would ever think to describe us as a logistics company. In fact, our Transport team currently repair and maintain a fleet of over 3000 vehicles! From company cars to water tankers, we ensure that Severn Trent can safely transport equipment, valuable resources and our teams around safely and efficiently from A to B, day in day out. We believe it’s essential that we take bold steps to reduce our impact on the environment, so one of our Triple Pledge commitments is that by 2030 we will have 100% electric vehicles, availability of vehicles permitting. Any new cars or small vans we buy from now on will be electric, and we expect suitable larger vans to become available in the next few years Based on today’s outlook, electric HGV and tanker options may not be available by 2030, so we are working with electric vehicle suppliers to try and speed up this process, and we are exploring other low-carbon options such as hydrogen and biogas. Our other 2 commitments are to have net zero carbon emissions across the business and 100% of our power to come from renewable sources by 2030. It’s an exciting time to join us on this journey as we reduce our carbon footprint to help combat climate change.
