We aim to create value responsibly and sustainably

Brand ambassadors

We adopt a people-centered approach in doing business, primarily focused on the safety and well-being of our employees.

Communities

We deliberately seek to make a positive, long-lasting difference in the communities in which we operate.

Environment

We understand the adverse effect of climate change and water shortages and take meaningful actions to responsibly reduce our environmental footprint.

Governance

We are governed by the highest standards and are overseen by an independent Board of Directors.

Environmental

We acknowledge that a number of environmental impacts, such as global greenhouse emissions, stem from our operations.

Our policies on climate change, energy efficiency, water use and management, and waste management, are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; and continue to be strengthened, as we identify emerging risks and other environmental factors.

We have long-standing relationships with car manufacturers and have rolled out hybrid vehicle solutions across our business — a business which enables our customers to meet their corporate responsibility aspirations and reduce their carbon footprint. We are well placed to introduce electric vehicles once they are readily available in our operating markets.

Water management

Our efforts include:

  • The installation of water recycling facilities at all our wash-bay facilities, with 85% of the used water recycled.
  • The expansion of the borehole installations across all key sites.
  • The harvesting of rainwater across various facilities.

Waste management

  • We have waste recycling facilities across South Africa, for solid and liquid waste.

Carbon footprint

  • We are the first car rental company to receive a carbon neutral status.
  • We are working to lower our Scope 1 and 2 emissions; whilst also strengthening our internal process for measuring and reducing scope 3 emissions.
  • We are adapting our fleet to include hybrid and electric vehicles, and have 3 electric charging stations at our biggest sites.

Social

We have adopted a zero-harm approach, which is supported by various processes and programs to actualise this critical objective for all our
brand ambassadors.

We contribute to a better society through ongoing investments in education, youth development and empowerment, and humanitarian
programmes. We encourage our employees to contribute their time and talent to support their local communities.

Education

  • We invest in improved access to quality high school education and improved outcomes in science, technology, engineering and mathematics

Youth development and empowerment

We are committed to developing and sponsoring skills in the youth, and initiate skills and leadership
development programmes.

  • We sponsor youth skills and leadership development programmes
  • We sponsor skills development programmes for graduates
  • We offer bursaries and learnerships

Humanitarian

  • We fund welfare, charity and humanitarian causes.

Organisations we have worked with
