7 July 2010

Fuel and fleet management company Arval, a Driving for Better Business champion, has been highly commended at the national RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety awards.

The company was recognised for its commitment to road safety within the managing occupational road risk award category.

Underpinned by a Road Safety Charter and steered by a Road Safety Committee, road
safety is an important part of Arval’s overall corporate social responsibility approach. This has included Arval signing up to the European Union Road Safety Charter and becoming a Driving for Better Business champion.

Jenny Powley, Arval’s sales director - card division, who collected the award, said, “We take great pride in the work we have done within Arval to reduce our occupational road risk and this award is testimony to the efforts we have made. This award comes on top of others the company has recently achieved as we aim to maintain our focus on road risk management and continuing to deliver safety-driven initiatives across our business.”

Arval has launched a new website designed to promote road safety and encourage its customers and all businesses to implement effective risk management policies and procedures. It offers access to a range of in-depth information, current news, appropriate guidance and links to help businesses manage all aspects of road and driver safety.
