In 2023, GB Railfreight launched a Carbon Reduction Plan, aiming to reduce scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which has involved numerous projects.

One project has seen them help staff reduce their own emissions when travelling by car.

Since 2023, they have had a partnership with Octopus EV, which involved leasing electric vehicles only as part of a salary sacrifice scheme.

Employees have saved thousands of pounds using electric cars.

The data they have gathered states that employees, on average, are saving £300-£350 each month as they are using home charging, with 120 EVs on the road.

This has seen 225 tonnes of carbon saved through the scheme.
