About
Fleet News Sustainability Week and the associated webinar is designed to help fleet decision-makers build operations that reduce environmental impact, support drivers and fleet teams, and deliver long-term business value.

From developing an electrification roadmap and securing boardroom buy-in, to preparing for crises, reducing mileage, improving vehicle utilisation and creating a travel hierarchy, this webinar will equip fleet leaders with the tools and confidence to make sustainability part of everyday fleet strategy – not just a box-ticking exercise.
