Kier's purpose is to sustainably deliver infrastructure which is vital to the UK. As a member of EV100, Kier has committed to electrifying its fleet of 3,730 vehicles and support its employees EV adoption by installing EV charging stations at 30 locations by 2030.
Jo Gilroy, Head of Environment and Sustainability, Kier, said: "We are proud to be joining EV100, alongside other likeminded organisations. This solidifies our commitment to have a fully electrified fleet by 2030, which is a commitment we have also made in our Carbon Reduction Plan. It also directly feeds into our Group’s purpose, to sustainably deliver infrastructure which is vital to the UK."

Sandra Roling, Head of Transport, Climate Group, commented: "We are thrilled to celebrate COP26 Transport Day by welcoming these new members to EV100, who have made the bold commitment to electrify their fleets and deploy charging infrastructure by 2030.
"EV100, which continues to grow in reach and impact, is a powerful catalyst for electric transport and a vessel for crucial climate action from businesses. It’s encouraging that so many additional companies this year have recognised the vital role they have in tackling the climate crisis and the critical opportunity offered in transportation electrification.
"As COP26 progresses, we hope that the ambition and leadership shown by EV100 members is matched by world leaders. This is the Climate Decade, and it's vital that business and government collaborate effectively for the world to limit global warming to 1.5°C."
