Copart is gearing up for Earth Day (Friday 22 April) with a series of Copart Cares initiatives.
Copart Cares is the company’s commitment to sustainability, and as part of that is accelerating plans to roll out its carbon literacy training programme to all 1,200 colleagues.
The training, delivered by AutoTrader on behalf of the government-funded Carbon Literacy Project, is intended to help colleagues to live more sustainably both at work and at home. It focuses on the science behind climate change, global and local impact, the effects on the automotive industry, and how individuals can play their part by lowering emissions and carbon footprint.
Jane Pocock, Managing Director, who has already completed the training, said, “We’re grateful to AutoTrader for helping us to take our first steps towards company-wide carbon literacy in line with our Plan-Net-Zero programme. We’re delighted to have this opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability and to work alongside a business whose CSR values align so closely with our own. We are planning to achieve gold status as soon as possible by rolling out training to all teammates across our business.”
Meanwhile, Copart’s partnership with HGVC has also resulted in nine trees being planted in Madagascar so far. Copart is working with HGVC to deliver its Driver Academy programme. The only UK driver training provider to offer carbon neutral training, HGVC has pledged to plant a tree for every training course undertaken.
