Green Fleet Magazine has named Heathrow’s vehicle fleet as the ‘Private Sector Fleet of the Year’ (Medium-Large). This recognition follows two additional accolades – Heathrow was shortlisted for the best in passenger transport by the inaugural National Air Quality Awards and is shortlisted for the Energy Management Award in the forthcoming Edies’ Sustainability Leaders Awards.
Matt Gorman, Heathrow Director of Sustainability and Environment said:
“We are honoured to receive these awards, particularly as they recognise the work that we have done in the completed few years to improve Heathrow’s air quality and reduce our emissions but we are committed to doing additional to be a good neighbour. Even with expansion, we can meet air quality limits, and carbon targets, and ensure a bigger Heathrow can be better neighbour.”

"It's been the year at the same time as flooding became relevant to each part of the country. From the south-west to the north-east, each part of the country got hit," says Charles Tucker, chairman of the National Flood Forum, which represents additional than 200 local community groups. "Flooding can presently strike anywhere, and it needs to be recognised as the No 1 national emergency happening presently."
