Business Lease: Blue Care - economical and ecological operational leasing

Taking care today of the environmental impact of a company’s activities is among the key aspects of socially responsible business. Companies analyse their operations and seek areas where to set new, ecological procedures. One option is ecological car fleet management directly within the framework of operational leasing.

Business Lease strives for an ecological approach worldwide and also wants to offer its customers a similar option through its services. At present it is the only company with a “100% CO₂ Neutral” programme. This is why it has introduced the Blue Care product to the market, thanks to which customers will be able to create an ecological car fleet that is environmentally friendly, while achieving lower operating costs.

Abroad, it is slowly becoming common practice to “clean up one’s CO₂ footprint” on this planet – compensate and neutralise it. This is the right direction and Business Lease is headed this way too.

What is Blue Care?

Blue Care consists of three parts – driver consulting and training, CO₂ emission compensation and monitoring. Within the framework of Blue Care, Business Lease helps customers prepare a car fleet concept and offers advice on which vehicles to choose with regards to the best parameters in terms of environmental impact. It also recommends mandatory equipment and accessories to conserve fuel or the definition of rules for using the fleet, so as to maximally reduce emissions.

Blue Care maps maximal savings which can be achieved in many ways, among others, by choosing energy-efficient tyres, regular control of tyre pressure, and above all by stimulating an energy-efficient approach among drivers to driving cars. Within the framework of Blue Care consulting, Business Lease will train its customers’ drivers and provide them with ample practical advice and hints for driving ecologically.

Blue Care Monitor: everything under control

Vehicle monitoring is currently a part of common practice within operational leasing and most clients with large fleets have monitoring devices installed in all their vehicles. They track the driving style, because it influences the accident rate, route efficiency, whether fuel consumption complies with the vehicle parameters, and also acceleration and braking, which affect the wearing down of parts, etc.

Monitoring operations using the Blue Care Monitor application shows the potential additional savings with regards to mileage, consumption, CO₂ emissions or insurance claims. Periodical information about mileage and fuel consumption is particularly crucial. The client can track costs and CO₂ production in an online overview, which continually indicates potential savings, both financial and climatological.

CO2 neutral car fleet

The Blue Care programme also allows 100% compensation of all CO₂ production by purchasing CO2 Compensation Certificates. The collected financial resources are invested into projects focussed on obtaining energy from renewable sources. These projects bear the Gold Standard brand, a quality guarantee for CO₂ reduction projects, which was developed in cooperation with the World Wide Fund for Nature.

Reducing energy consumption and limiting CO₂ production helps solve key environmental issues – climate change, air pollution and reliance on fossil fuels. Moreover, the current economic situation puts pressure on reducing the overall costs for car fleets.

The Blue Care product from Business Lease helps solve both. As a novelty, it is offered particularly when developing a new car fleet, but can also be applied to existing fleets.
