Places

The Places Pillar comprises the following elements

1. Safe mobility

Inchcape promotes the safe use of roads with the objective of becoming a strong and visible advocate for reduced road accidents and deaths across all markets in which we operate. We will:

  • Promote safe driving through support of educational programmes, awareness creation and campaigns on safe use of roads.
  • partner with relevant bodies, stakeholders and advocates to develop and implement accident prevention initiatives and support emergency responses to save lives on the roads.

2. Inclusive mobility

As part of our approach to more Inclusive mobility we will:

  • Support people with disabilities to access the right mobility solutions through sponsorship and promotion of specific initiatives in our markets.
  • Ensure all Inchcape facilities and operations provide full and inclusive access to mobility for those with disabilities.

3. Social mobility

We will develop specific global and local projects and initiatives that support and enable equal opportunities for young people; for example through internship, apprenticeship, technical education and female education.

Focus of such programmes will be on the less privileged  young people in communities in which we operate to give those selected a better chance to live, grow and realise their potential.
