Corporate Social Responsibility

Safety

Health and Safety issues are always at the top of our agenda, and we are committed to working in a way that protects our employees, customers and contractors.

Our Approach to Health and Safety

We work with colleagues across Europe to share best practice and we are working closely with our health and safety co-ordinators to help improve health and safety across our industry.

Working Safely

We make sure that each and every one of our technicians is fully trained to carry out their work, in some cases this training is accredited by the City & Guilds Institute

People

Here at ATS we know that satisfied and engaged employees are more likely to be successful, both in their careers and in bringing in business, so we work hard to ensure that all of our employees feel part of the company.

We are committed to the continuous development of all our employees. Managers are responsible for the training and development of their team, but individuals take ownership for their own personal-development, and are encouraged and supported to achieve their goals.

Gender Pay Gap Report

A copy of our Gender Pay Gap Report can be accessed here. This is the Gender Pay Gap report for ATS Euromaster as at the snapshot date of 5 April 2024. It captures the differences in hourly pay and bonus paid to men and women in the year up to and including 5 April 2024.

Environment

As one of the largest comprehensive tyre service providers in the UK, we are committed to managing the environmental impact that arises from the work that we do.

We have a number of programmes in place that are aimed at helping to reduce the environmental impact created by our work: Working with Envirowise. Envirowise is a Government funded programme offering independent support to help organisations become more resource efficient.

We started working with Envirowise in 2009 to explore new ways of reducing our environmental impact, specifically in the areas of waste and electricity usage.

Dry Waste

We have introduced a major ‘dry waste’ recycling programme across our organisation and we have set ourselves some stretching targets to improve our dry waste recycling levels.

Tyres

As part of our approach to customer service we provide professional advice to ensure that customers achieve the maximum operational design life for each tyre fitted to their vehicle.

At the end of a truck tyre’s design life, every waste tyre is inspected for suitability for re-use by re-treading. In some cases, we accept that these approaches will not be achievable and so we dispose of the casing using the Best Practicable Environmental Option via a registered waste carrier.

Metal, Battery and Oil Waste

We segregate these waste streams in our Centres for either recycling or disposal via appropriate waste contracts.

As a leading force in Europe’s tyre fitting and vehicle maintenance market, we’re driving a bold environmental vision: to lead the transition towards more sustainable mobility, leading by example. Our vision is clear, to actively reduce our own carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, while supporting our customers in achieving their environmental goals through innovative, low-carbon maintenance solutions. Sustainability is embedded in every part of our approach — from optimising vehicle performance to responsibly recycling all the tyres and spare parts we handle. Together, we're driving forward a cleaner, more responsible future for mobility. We’re not just keeping vehicles moving, we're putting our energy into acting responsibly and contributing to address environmental challenges.

We have translated this vision into the four environmental ambitions that we defined back in 2022 and will become reality by 2030.

Be the network with the lowest environmental impact


We are taking concrete actions to reduce the environmental impact of our business operations.

What we have done so far: From 2022 to 2024, we reduced the carbon footprint of our own business operations by 14%.

  • Energy reduction in our service centers: We have run a comprehensive energy audit and provided a comprehensive checklist and training to service centre managers to reduce energy consumption. Also, we have replaced old lighting fittings with new low consumption LEDs in 30% of our centres and have installed solar panels on X% of our centres. In 2024, we reduced our energy consumption by X% thanks to these actions.
  • Energy reduction in our fleet operations: We have equipped all our cars and vans with telematics software and have produced reports to monitor fuel consumption and carbon emissions for each driver. We have replaced X% of our company cars with hybrid / EV equivalents. 
  • In selected countries where we operate, we transitioned to Green or Fossil free Energy contracts.

What we plan to do next: We target carbon footprint reduction of the entire Euromaster network by 20% in 2025 and 50% in 2030.

  • Energy reduction in our service centers: Expand transition to LED and solar panels. Raise awareness and responsibility level among service centre colleagues
  • Energy reduction in our fleet operations: Leverage telematics software to optimise routing and driving practices of our mobile units, to provide safety to our drivers and be more fuel efficient. Finalise the replacement of company cars to EV and introduce EV mobile vans. 
  • Raising our employees awareness: We run immersive exercises such as “Climate Fresque” to raise awareness of our colleagues to the imperative of climate change. 

 

In our countries of operations, we organise and sponsor events where our colleagues can volunteer and undertake climate change actions in their social communities.

Be the 1st network that contributes to reduction of customers’ CO2 emissions

We are taking concrete actions to support our customers in their carbon footprint reduction efforts, such as:

  • Raising awareness among customers about the lower fuel consumption gained through tyre services, such as: tyre pressure adjustment (inflation), wheel alignment, tyre balancing, tyre permutation (rotation), tyre regrooving or tyre retread. We share with our fleet customers the savings of CO² emissions they gain thanks to our services.  
  • Deploying on-board telematics solutions for our professional customers, enabling them to enhance people’s safety, reduce environmental impact and maximise their economic and operational performances. 
  • Making appropriate tyre choice recommendations: We promote more efficient and safer tyres using tyre labelling (fuel economy, grip and noise ratings). For example, tyres with a "A" label for fuel efficiency have the lowest rolling resistance, which means they require less energy to move. This translates to better fuel economy and reduced CO² emissions. 

Be best in class in end of life products collection and recycling

We are taking concrete actions to ensure a more sustainable end of life management of tyres, such as:

  • Tyre collection and recycling: 100% of our used tyres, oils and used spare parts are collected and recycled by government approved organisations. In most countries, the recycling of used tyres is compulsory. Tyres suitable for retreading are delivered to retreading companies. Scrap tyres are delivered to EPA-approved recycling plants for granulation or pyrolysis treatment.
  • Retread factory: We own retreading facilities of our own in Sweden and Finland, producing thousands of retread tyres each year and we work with partners in other countries.
  • Developing a sustainable procurement and supply chain policy
    • We evaluate our suppliers based on their CSR commitments and practices. We rely on recognised norms and certifications and suppliers' contribution to our People and Environment pillars. We monitor suppliers action plans to ensure their compliance to laws and regulations in the areas of human rights, environment, safety and business ethics. 
    • We are redesigning our supply chain - from manufacturer - to warehouses - to service centers, to reduce our carbon footprint through a more thoughtful use of logistics and warehousing facilities.
    • We are redefining our inventory policy to minimise the transport needed for delivering tyres for ecommerce customers.
