FORS is a national accreditation scheme that aims to improve fleet activity through improving safety, reducing emissions and raising industry standards.
FORS is graduated into three levels; bronze, silver and gold and operators who achieve the FORS Gold accreditation demonstrate exceptional performance in road safety, reducing emissions and a commitment to raising industry standards.
The scheme now boasts 87 Gold accredited companies. Over 21,700 vehicles are now accredited with the FORS Gold standard; helping to ensure that professional standards throughout the logistics sector are maintained and encouraged nationwide.
Commenting on the rise in accredited organisations, Steve Agg FCILT, chairman of the FORS Governance and Standards Advisory Group, said: "We are delighted with this rapid growth in Gold accredited operators. This demonstrates the industry’s commitment to raising standards. We will work with current and new organisations to ensure that more operators graduate through the scheme and that the benefits of FORS are experienced nationwide."
