Energy Efficient offices and vehicles
Our cleaning crews only use products that are Green, this includes household cleaning and laundry products, compact LED light bulbs, paper products made from at least 50% recycled content, and more. Green products are as effective as leading national brands, but they are made with naturally derived and biodegradable ingredients whenever possible.
Planet Climate & Energy
Reducing our carbon footprint helps A1A do its part to address climate change. We strive to lower our energy use in many ways– improving fuel efficiency in our vehicles, increasing our use of EV’s in our fleet. Utilizing smart dispatch systems and switching to LED’s that use less electricity, as well as harnessing renewable energy such as wind and solar. We work with Climate Partners, a nonprofit collaboration that sets consistent and transparent standards to calculate, verify and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions into a single registry.
Driving Sustainability across A1ALimo’s Fleet of Vehicles
A1A Limo has embedded sustainability into the company’s day to day operations. It is a personal mission for each employee and every franchise owner. Our fleet manager is responsible for setting and meeting fuel efficiency goals for A1A’s fleet of vehicles. By keeping each vehicle in the fleet in optimal mechanical form, our technicians are able to reduce carbon emissions. All oil and other waste is disposed of using an environmentally friendly disposal company. Our advanced diagnostic software is able to let our fleet manager know what vehicles are not performing to the highest standard, keeping our carbon foot print to an all-time low in the life cycle of the company.
