Introduction • Arval Fleet Manager • Arval CSR & Road Safety Ambassador • Sustainable Safety Campaign
Once upon a time..................... • Ten years ago an independent Fleet Risk Audit identified: • “the risk exposure for Arval employees driving on business was high” • 43% crash ratio: • High repair costs & third party claims • Escalating unfair wear & tear costs (unknown & unmanaged) • At the time we: • Completed random licence checks • Carried out reactive driver training • Had an “aspirational” safety policy • Had limited crash reporting & investigation • No Fleet Manager • The culture needed to change • We needed to lead by example!
Convincing the Board • Legal position: • Recommendations from the Risk Audit addressed: • High risks first • Appointment of Fleet Manager • Policy & Handbook review • Financial review: • 3 years crash reporting: • Repair costs & analysis of types of crashes • Third Party costs • Repeat offenders • Unfair wear and tear crash damage • Moral - Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): • Reasons we must care about road safety: • People are the heart of our business, not just when they drive for work Arval Road Safety programme Drive4Life

When do we care about Safety? Do we only care about “safety” when it’s a Business Journey?
Creating a safety culture Engage & Educate EVERYONE
Remember…… • We share the roads. • We share the responsibility. • Set your baseline & build your business case. • Engage everyone! • Realistic improvements, right for your business. • Learn from others, safety isn’t competitive. • One small change can make a difference.
