RRN announces ECA Business Energy partnership

Rapid Repair Network (RRN) a leader in same day vehicle mobile repair services, has partnered with leading energy and carbon specialists ECA Business Energy to measure and validate the carbon footprint associated with each repair job conducted by their network of mobile repairers.

The company recognises the inherent advantages of mobile repair services, which typically require less energy and fewer resources compared to conventional repair centres, and by leveraging the expertise of ECA Business Energy, RRN aims to quantify these benefits and communicate the reduced environmental impact to their customers and the broader public.

The collaboration with ECA Business Energy marks the beginning of RRN’s journey towards achieving carbon neutrality. The first milestone in this journey is the attainment of carbon neutrality in accordance with the internationally recognised PAS 2060 standard.

This standard requires measurement, reduction, and the offsetting of carbon emissions, ensuring that RRN’s operations are genuinely contributing to a more sustainable future.

Looking ahead, RRN is committed to advancing beyond carbon neutrality and progressing towards a net-zero carbon footprint. This long-term strategy underscores the company’s dedication to environmental responsibility and aligns with global efforts to combat climate change.

Rob Hawes, Managing Director at RRN, said: “ At RRN we are acutely aware of the impact of vehicle repairs on the environment. Whilst we have long believed that our service is more environmentally friendly than a standard body shop repair, we are now formally quantifying this and aim to be carbon neutral before ultimately achieving Net Zero status. By choosing RRN, customers can be confident that they are making a positive contribution toward the environment.”
