First road transport ISO50001

In late 2012 Matthews passed their NSAI certification audit for ISO50001 Energy Management System.   This is one of the very first ISO50001 certificates awarded to a road transport operator anywhere in the world and certainly the first in Ireland.

All credit and congratulations is due to the team at Matthews:  Now Ireland’s cleanest and most efficient passenger service operator at just 20g CO2 per Passenger Km.  Well-deserved international recognition for their commitment to structured fuel management and leadership since 2007.

Transport Energy Management

Since 2007 the team at Matthews have focussed on improving fuel performance, using largely the same vehicles , drivers and routes, weather and traffic have varied, with the following results:

 “With our emissions at just 20g of CO₂ per passenger kilometre . . we can confidently say that we are Ireland’s cleanest passenger transport service. Building on a succession of energy awards and independently measured fuel savings from 2008 to 2012, Matthews completed their 50001-certification audit in November 2012. We are indebted to Conor Molloy of Authentic who has been with us through every step of this process,” –Noel Matthews – Matthews.ie
