May Gurney - driving down carbon emissions
The EcoDriving competition challenges businesses across Norfolk to compete against each other and sign up to EcoSafe Driver training provided by Norfolk County Council.
The aim of the competition is to raise awareness of the financial savings that businesses can achieve by adopting the principles of EcoDriving, increase road safety and reduce transport-related carbon emissions within the county.
The competition is being organised by the Sustainable Prosperity Group which is chaired by Ian Findlater, group business development director at May Gurney. The Sustainable Prosperity Group is part of Shaping Norfolk’s Future, the county’s economic development partnership.
Ian Findlater (left in pic) said: “Reducing carbon emissions can create substantial savings for business.
“May Gurney is committed to leading our industry by reducing our carbon emissions by 50% over three years, which will save our company £1m.”
Jake Humphrey, the TV Formula 1 presenter, hosted the launch event held at Lotus Headquarters in Norfolk.
Footnote: Businesses across Norfolk are invited to enter a team of three to take part in the EcoDriving Competition, 9-11 March at the Forum, Norwich. To enter or for more information log onto: www.sustainablenorfolk.co.uk
