Recycling company Suez has introduced a salary sacrifice scheme from Tusker for its employees.
The scheme has been offered as an additional employee benefit – but not as a replacement for Suez’s company car scheme – to widen the accessibility of vehicles to employees that might not have been eligible for a vehicle otherwise.
Tusker is said to have been chosen after a lengthy tender process because of its long-standing position in the marketplace, the clarity of its offering, and the employer and employee protections offered by its schemes, as well as its track record in working with large corporations.
The Suez scheme features an EV-focused policy, designed to help the company work towards its sustainability goals, and allow employees to benefit from favourable BIK rates.
Suez head of compensation and reward Michelle Sutton said: “Working with Tusker to implement this car benefit scheme could not have been more straightforward or seamless. It was important to Suez to introduce a benefit that aligned with our sustainability values, while supporting our employees with a benefit that would lower living costs for as many as possible.
“The salary sacrifice car benefit scheme will aid our staff retention and employee engagement by offering our staff the chance to get behind the wheel of a brand new, affordable, safe and environmentally friendly vehicle.
“Better still, with no upfront deposit needed and all possible expenses covered by one monthly payment, the maximum number of employees possible have been made eligible for this scheme, especially lower earners.”
Tusker CEO Paul Gilshan said: “Working with a recognised specialist in the environmental sector, which selected Tusker on the strength of our own environmental credentials has been a pleasure.
“The employee engagement with the scheme from within Suez has been fantastic, and we are on course to deliver an impressive number of EVs by the end of 2023.”
