GSH DRIVES GREEN

GSH Group has brought new meaning to the term “racing green” now that its company cars are being swapped for environmentally-friendly vehicles.

As part of its on-going commitment to reducing carbon emissions for itself and its clients, facilities and energy management specialist GSH Group has begun to change its fleet of cars to hybrid models.

Working with prestige company car supplier Lexus, GSH has determined it will lead by example and its chief officers and directors have been first in line to trade their gas-guzzlers for the more environmentally-friendly hybrid range.

GSH Chief Executive Officer Colin Tennent said: “We recognise the importance of adopting eco-alternatives wherever possible.

“Our business is built on innovation and we have been able to use our own technologies to help clients save money on energy use and carbon output. In the same way, we want to apply that same commonsense approach to our own behaviours so it was a given we would look for green technologies we could use in-house.

“In this case, we immediately looked at our cars and we were pleased to work with Lexus to identify suitable vehicles to meet our exacting energy and travel needs.”

He added: “We have put some considerable investment into the vehicle change-over but we know the outcome is invaluable to the climate.”

Lexus Director Steve Settle described the move by GSH to introduce hybrid vehicles into its fleet as “very progressive.”

“GSH has made a good business decision which provides their associates with a no compromise solution to high performance driving, whilst achieving lower emissions.

“GSH’s values fit well with our own pursuit of perfection,” said Steve Settle.
