At HVS, sustainability isn't just a corporate goal—it's embedded in the very fabric of the company’s ethos. This Zero Emissions Day, we’re excited to spotlight one of our key team members who not only helps to drive HVS’ mission of decarbonisation in transport, but also brings sustainability into her personal life.

To help the HVS team make sustainable choices, we have introduced a series of decision-making hierarchies. These cover Energy, Waste and Travel.

Our goal is to provide employees with a framework that enables them to make more sustainable choices, no matter how big or small. We encourage them to pause for ten seconds, think about what they are doing, and see how far up the hierarchy they can get.

In business, in life, in society, how different might things be if we took even a short time to make conscious decisions based on clear guidelines?
