Suggesting a lease car scheme could improve your corporate green credentials may seem counterintuitive. 

After all, shouldn’t we all reduce our fossil fuel consumption by cycling to work or using public transport? 

Of course, this would be true in a perfect world, but as an employer, you can still help your employees travel to work by car and be mindful of the planet’s needs. 

The car-free commute is not always possible

A car-free society may be the ideal, but it is far from a reality in the UK. The Campaign for Better Transport published a report in 2020 showing that 15 million people in the UK lived in ‘transport deserts’ without access to reliable or affordable public transport. 

Offering your employees a car lease scheme could be the difference between them being able to work or not. 

Unforeseen circumstances may mean losing their original car, or family circumstances may dictate a move to a different area poorly served by public transport. 

Life events could prevent them from getting to work on time, or at all, if they don’t have access to a car.  

How The Enjoy Benefits Car Lease Scheme Is Green

The Enjoy Benefits scheme will give your employees the option of private travel. It will also improve your corporate green credentials in three ways:

EVS and Hybrids are an option 

The list of available cars includes EVS and Hybrids.  

Electric vehicles produce far fewer greenhouse gases and environmental pollutants than petrol and diesel cars, even when the energy used in their production is considered. Hybrid vehicles consume less petrol and switch to using electric power when possible.

The Scheme makes EVS and hybrid models more affordable

Although they may be cleaner, EVS and hybrid models are more expensive than traditional cars. 

The savings made on our salary sacrifice car lease scheme could help your employees afford a more environmentally friendly vehicle. 

Newer is greener 

Newer cars, electric or not, produce lower emissions than older cars, but are more expensive. The scheme makes new vehicles more affordable. 

The scheme’s cost includes regular maintenance, which is important to ensure that engines continue to produce low emissions. 

Other advantages for your business

Apart from happier staff arriving at work safely in well-maintained new cars, participating in our Car Lease Scheme has other advantages for your business. 

These include:  

  • Lower National Insurance contributions on cars with lower emissions
  • No cost to the business to implement 
  • Scheme set up, administered and reviewed by Enjoy Benefits
