Suez launches car salary sacrifice scheme with Tusker

Suez has introduced an electric vehicle (EV) salary sacrifice car scheme with Tusker.

The salary sacrifice car scheme has been offered an additional company benefit, not as a replacement for the Suez company car scheme.

Instead, it is being used to widen the accessibility of vehicles to employees that might not have been eligible for a car otherwise.

Following a tender process, Tusker says it was selected thanks to its long-standing position in the marketplace, the clarity of its offering as well as the employer and employee protections offered by its schemes.

Tusker’s experience of implementing its schemes in larger corporations was also attractive to Suez, which is rolling out the scheme for its 5,700 plus employees in the UK.

By building an EV-based policy, it will help Suez meet its sustainability goals. Michelle Sutton, head of compensation and reward at Suez, said: “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.”  

Paul Gilshan, CEO at Tusker, added: “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.”
