Avis Tries harder on every field, this means we also mean business when it comes to ecology.
Being a car rental company, it is inevitable that Avis produces greenhouse gasses with its fleet and to a lesser extent with its secondary activities. Avis acknowledges this and takes action. We do all we can to measure up and minimize the impact we have on our environment. Working together with our partners and licensees, we do all that is in our power to bring down our emissions.
Green cars
On a worldwide scale, you can find hundreds of ecological vehicles in our fleet. That figures keeps on increasing. These cars use alternative fuels. In Belgium for instance, you can book the well known Toyota Prius Hybrid. Avis Sweden proposes the ethanol driven Saab 9-5 BioPower to its customers. | |
Carbon neutral
Avis has been Carbon Neutral© since 2000. This means we follow the principles of carbon offsetting. For every ton of CO2 produced Avis invests in ecological projects to compensate the emitted gasses. So far, Avis has offset over 75.000 tons of CO2. This is the equivalent of 15.000 cars less per year!
Avis is to date the only Car Rental Company that has actively been trying to reduce its Carbon production.
