The team at Cramlington-based mobile airtime and handset distributor Fone Logistics have swapped their traditional fuel guzzling company cars for the latest eco -friendly set of wheels.
The company is aiming to reduce its carbon footprint by 15 per cent and is about to take delivery of a fleet of BMW 1 series, which has been designed with efficient dynamics to reduce emissions and won the World Green Car of the Year 2008 award.
The firm is also recycling old mobile phone handsets in compliance with the WEEE standards and is planning to recycle all office paperwork in a bid to become a paperless office.
Sales and Marketing Director, Julien Parven, said: "Our intention as we grow the Fone Logistics brand and market share is to develop an environmental policy to be one of the most ethical mobile phone distributors. We have therefore stepped up a gear in terms of being more aware of our carbon footprint and are conscious to ensure we set high ‘green' standards across the entire workforce."
