Avis - the first car rental company in South Africa to achieve CarbonNeutral certification - has renewed its position on carbon neutrality through The CarbonNeutral Company.
The two projects Avis has selected for its new two-year portfolio are the Tieling Coal Mine Methane Capture project in China and the Basa Magogo “Light it up” Improved Cooking Technique in South Africa.
The car rental company is well known for its environmental focus.
“Offsetting is merely an additional way to address our emissions, as we have reduced our electricity consumption by over 300,000 kWh per annum through switching off high energy consuming devices and changing our behaviour at Avis”, said chief executive Wayne Duvenage. “In addition, we continue to work with our motor manufacturer suppliers to introduce lower carbon emission products for use in our fleet, such as the Toyota Prius since 2007 and more recently the new Honda Jazz Hybrid”.
