Fleet Advantage focuses on helping transportation fleets achieve ESG Goals

Fleet Advantage announced a new focus to help its clients transition to a low-carbon economy and achieve corporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals.

“At the heart of our ESG-centric strategy is a data analytics focus that relies on real-time business intelligence to help steer clients toward more environmentally-sound business decisions,” said Katerina Jones, vice president, marketing and business development for Fleet Advantage.

Several years ago the company introduced emissions scorecards and a truck exchange program with financial flexibility in mind that made it beneficial to operate newer, clean-diesel engines. This program also helped fleets meet new GHG-1 Federal mandate standards and calculated fuel economy gains at 2.5% MPG and CO2 reductions, according to the company.

In addition to environmental stewardship, social criteria are also playing a major role in companies’ ESG strategies, Fleet Advantage noted in a press release. Fleet Advantage’s specification experts work with each fleet to design new trucks for maximum safety, fuel efficiency, lowest maintenance cost, and highest resale values through the company’s Safety-First Program. By focusing on safety proactively, FleetAdvantage is ultimately advising companies about risk that they may otherwise not likely identify, as well as a solution that could save millions of dollars in cost reduction while avoiding damage to their corporate image and brand identity.
