Shell Fleet Solutions PH Assists Hertz PH in Reducing Carbon Emissions

MANILA: Shell Fleet Solutions (SFS) Philippines has partnered with car rental service provider Hertz Philippines for its Accelerate to Zero (A2Z) Program that aims to achieve a net-zero carbon emissions target.

The signing ceremony was attended by SFS Asia General Manager Veethara Trakulboon, SFS Philippines Country Business Manager Christopher Alli, and Hertz Philippines Managing Director Rene Limcaoco.

“Decarbonization is an important issue facing our customers today and in the future. Shell Fleet Solutions is here as a partner to provide a comprehensive strategy for the rapid decarbonization of fleets. A2Z is also designed to help customers achieve their decarbonization targets,” Alli stated.

Limcaoco believes that this partnership will make their decarbonization mission a success.

“We are on the right track with Shell, with the same commitment to this goal. We are equally passionate in exploring mobility solutions to reduce our carbon footprint,” he said.

Through the A2Z Program, Hertz Philippines will have access to SFS' sustainability offerings, which will enable them to monitor fuel economy and minimize their carbon emissions while making up for inevitable ones with a voluntary carbon offset program.

Hertz Philippines will receive technology tools to help it analyze its carbon emissions as well as technological solutions that will both cut down on and mitigate its carbon emissions.

Hertz Philippines began its A2Z journey with voluntary carbon offsetting. Carbon credits are used to offset the emissions, and Shell acquired them for Hertz Philippines from an international selection of approved projects.

Every year, Shell is going to issue a retirement certification attesting to the offset of the fuel's emissions. Hertz's account is automatically charged, and they can keep using their Shell Card to refuel.

A reputable third-party company externally audits and verifies this certificate and process.

Since 2011, Hertz Philippines has been using Shell Fleet Cards for its fuel needs. The long-standing partnership between the two firms has just taken another step forward with the A2Z Program.

“We at Hertz Philippines are really honored to be working together with Shell on this new project that is valuable not only to us, and not only to Shell, but is also a first step for future generations,” Limcaoco added.
