This Earth Day, we’re proud to share that Steer has been awarded an “Industry Leading” ESG rating — a progression from our “Excellent” rating in 2023.
As we take this moment to reflect on our environmental and social responsibilities, it's a timely opportunity to recognise the measurable progress we’ve made across our operations in 2024 — achieved through our continued work with Sustainable Advantage and the dedication of our teams across the UK.
This step forward reflects the real, measurable action we’ve taken:
Industry collaboration — working with sector leaders to introduce ARIES, the Automotive Repair Industry Environmental Standard
100% renewable electricity — all of our sites now operate using energy from fully renewable sources
Sustainable repair — stronger integration of green parts, reduced use of new parts, and ambient drying paint to lower energy consumption
Landfill reduction — biodegradable seat covers, recyclable number plate and uniform schemes, and improved sorting of recyclable materials across our sites
Community impact — a new Community and Charity Fund to support our people and local causes
Employee wellbeing and inclusion — colleague surveys, new Benefit Support Hubs, Wagestream access, and the launch of Diversity & Inclusion initiatives
Richard Steer, our CEO, said “Achieving an Industry Leading ESG rating is a direct result of the actions we’ve taken and the commitment shown by our people. We’re focused on building a more sustainable future, with responsibility at the core of everything we do.”
A huge thank you to everyone at Steer who has helped us reach this point — your work is driving real change, and this recognition belongs to all of you.
