NI Chamber Charges Ahead on EV Journey with New Sustainability Measures
The Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce is setting a powerful example in sustainability by taking decisive steps to reduce its environmental impact and lead the way for its members. As part of their commitment to their ESG goals, the Chamber has made a number of impactful changes in its transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
Among the key initiatives, NI Chamber has replaced its company car with a fully electric vehicle, significantly cutting emissions and aligning transport choices to reduce their carbon footprint. The organisation has also installed workplace EV charging points, supporting both operational efficiency and staff convenience.
To further encourage adoption and support their team, NI Chamber has introduced a salary sacrifice scheme, that enables employees to access EVs in a cost-effective way. This forward-thinking initiative not only promotes the early uptake of electric vehicles but also strengthens staff retention by offering meaningful, future-focused employee benefits.
Philip Rainey, CEO of Weev, recently met with Suzanne Wylie, Chief Executive of NI Chamber, to discuss the Chamber’s EV transition and the wider role of sustainable
transport in modern business. Their conversation highlighted how making the switch to EVs doesn’t just reduce environmental impact, it also offers tangible business benefits.
Philip Rainey said: “NI Chamber is showing real leadership. By making practical changes, they’re not only cutting their own emissions, but also inspiring other organisations to take their first steps towards sustainable transport.”
This proactive approach sends a strong signal to NI Chamber members and the wider business community, making the transition to EV is achievable, beneficial, and a key part of future-proofing business operations.
NI Chamber’s example proves that small steps like switching a company car or supporting employees with EV access and lead to meaningful change. Once again, the NICC is leading by example in making a positive impact on the people and planet.
