Salutem Care and Education has announced its intention to invest in electric vehicle charging points at its moving to electric vehicles for their fleet and encouraging staff to ‘go electric’ with its employee car scheme.

Salutem joins big brands like Microsoft, Tesco, Royal Mail and BT by ditching the diesel and parking the petrol to make way for more fully electric and hybrid vehicles.

Research shows that electric cars emit fewer greenhouse gasses than traditional vehicles and are, on the whole, more efficient.

John Godden MBE, CEO of Salutem Care and Education, said: “I’m delighted to announce that we will be installing electric vehicle charging points at our services across the UK. In order for the UK to reach the government’s ambitious net zero targets, all sectors must look to reduce their carbon footprints – care is no exception.

“We are committed to moving our fleet vehicles to electric when they are renewed and are encouraging staff to consider electric cars with the support of our employee car scheme.

“In addition to providing excellent support and care for people with complex needs and disabilities, we are also an environmentally friendly company, and this initiative will help us to reduce our carbon footprint.

“We hope other organisations will follow suit and look at going greener with their vehicles.”
