Skanska UK<\/a> has taken a major step towards\u00a0its target to become carbon neutral by 2045 with the introduction of\u00a0a radically new electric vehicle (EV) company car policy<\/h2>\n

From 1 December, with its new EV First initiative,\u00a0the company will no longer offer pure petrol or diesel vehicles as a benefit to eligible employees.<\/p>\n

Instead, fully electric vehicles<\/a> (EVs) will be the preferred option, with petrol-electric hybrids (PHEVs) as an alternative, if more practical for the individual.<\/p>\n

Turning talk into action<\/h3>\n

Gregor Craig, Skanska UK president and CEO, said: \u201cWe have heard of many commitments to reducing\u00a0CO2 emissions<\/a> in the construction industry over the last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the longer term there has to be a relentless focus on collaboration between contractors, their customers and the supply chain to make meaningful advances towards reaching our targets.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we have to start turning the talk into action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means having the determination to begin making things happen now. And this is what Skanska is doing with this new initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a mindset and practical change that will help us significantly reduce the production of over 12,000 tons of CO2 per year from all our staff travel. But it is just one of many steps being taken across Skanska UK to help achieve our target of\u00a0net-zero carbon emissions\u00a0by 2045<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
