Mediafleet & The Three Pillars of Sustainability

Like any ‘ethical company’, Mediafleet has serious ambitions to reduce its carbon output to help with climate change initiatives as set out in the goals of the ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015.
REDUCING CARBON OUTPUT

This process for businesses, however, is challenging. There is no single definition of sustainability, and the act of introducing new ‘green’ initiatives could be viewed as a contradiction to what a branding business actually does. For example, supporting real sustainability means encouraging customers to consume less, and that goal stands in direct contrast to many companies’ business models, which is to expand and sell more of their product. For Mediafleet, this could mean a request for more complex vehicle graphics.

SUSTAINABLE NON-PVC VINYLS

But some businesses are trying to find a balance and the creative studio at Mediafleet is here to help organisations maintain vehicle branding effectiveness but perhaps with simpler vehicle graphics – meaning less vinyl used. Sustainable vinyl is also an option with more manufacturers releasing this type of recyclable vinyl.
sustainable business practices

Mediafleet recognises that the benefit of implementing sustainable business practices can build goodwill with increasingly environmentally conscious customers and it is this business plan that will maintain our business growth whilst attempting to minimise the amount of vinyl used.

INCREASINGLY ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS CUSTOMERS

Our customers wish to engage with organisations that take climate change seriously

Mediafleet has a built its reputation on delivering excellent products and services for its customers against market leading service levels. Plus, customers need their vehicle branding to be priced sensibly, be impactful and long-lasting, after all this is an important marketing communication channel. We also recognise however, that our customers wish to engage with organisations that take climate change seriously and are taking the proper steps to reduce their carbon footprint as well as behaving ethically. This means buyers of services interrogating the service provider’s supply chain. For example, some suppliers outsource certain aspects of the supply model, but this means that they lose control of certain important green initiatives. For instance, it is very difficult for one business to dictate to another business the type of vehicles they use. You may operate a green fleet, but you cannot easily impose that policy on a sub-contractor or third party.
