To us, it’s about evolving our business whilst reducing our environmental impacts. Carbon Neutral At Applegreen, we are aware of the part we play in creating carbon emissions. It’s a responsibility we’re taking very seriously, which is why we are determined to drive change and leave a positive legacy for future generations. This year we offered our customers the choice of Carbon Neutral Driving through the purchase of PowerPlus fuel. We are offsetting 100,000 tonnes of carbon every year through financing clean water projects in East Africa and planting 100,000 trees here in Ireland every year. This is a big initiative for us and one of the larger commitments in Ireland, so we are very proud. Employee Development Here at Applegreen we know that good training helps you to do your job well.
