Our Commitment to Driving Sustainability
At STS Group, we are committed to the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility. Our ESG initiatives are designed to promote sustainable business practices, support the well-being of our communities, and uphold the highest standards of corporate governance. By integrating ESG considerations into our operations, we aim to reduce our environmental impact, foster a positive social footprint, and ensure transparent and ethicalmanagement. This holistic approach not only enhances our long-term performance but also aligns with our mission to contribute to a better, more sustainable future for all stakeholders.
Green Initiatives
We recognise the importance of responsibly investing in smart, green initiatives to create a better future for all. Over the years, we have undertaken measures such as recycling e-waste to reduce our carbon footprint. STS operates the largest fleet of private K-12 school buses in the GCC, consuming upwards of 10 million litres of fuel annually. We started to review the benefits of biofuel in July 2019 to reduce our carbon emissions and contribute to mitigating climate change.
1. Biofuel Fleet
One of our key initiatives involves the use of biofuel in our fleet, which supports the improvement and quality of emissions, thereby improving the overall air quality for everyone. 334 STS school buses (16% of the fleet) we operate in Dubai now benefit from Biofuel, reducing energy consumption and contributing to the overall goal of mitigating climate change.
2. Route Optimisation
Additionally, our focus on wider environmental performance is evident in our use of advanced PTV route optimisation software. This advanced software is essential for logistical planning, enabling us to create more efficient bus routes and reduce vehicle running time. By doing so, we significantly lower our carbon footprint. The software also enhances service delivery by generating estimated arrival times (ETAs) and providing delay notifications, ensuring we remain reliable and transparent with our customers.
Through these comprehensive measures, STS Group demonstrates a steadfast commitment to sustainability, continually seeking innovative solutions to protect the environment, promote a healthier future, and ensure the well-being of our employees and customers.
