Rollins ranks in Top 50 green fleets by BMW Group

Rollins Inc., a global consumer and commercial services company, was recognized by the BMW Group, ranking its fleet at No. 15 in the Top 50 green fleets.

With 1,285 flex fuel vehicles, 435 hybrid electric vehicles, five electric vehicles and one CNG powered vehicle, the Rollins fleet is making a positive impact on reducing overall carbon emissions and their impact on climate change.

“We are excited to be recognized for our outstanding efforts to enhance the overall efficiency of our fleet while also reducing carbon emissions,” Jerry Gahlhoff, president and COO at Rollins, said in a news release. “At Rollins, we are focused on being a good corporate citizen, and that means caring for our environment. Our drive to enhance the efficiency of our fleet extends beyond our vehicle choices to include optimizing our routes to reduce technician drive time, fuel consumption and overall carbon emissions from our fleet. We firmly believe that pursuing a greener fleet is not just good for the environment, it’s good for our business and the communities in which we operate.”

This year, Rollins ranked two spots higher in the Automotive Fleet Top 50 Green Fleet list as compared to last year’s ranking. This ear-over-year growth positions Rollins alongside some of the largest “green” vehicle fleets in the United States, and “is a solid example of the company’s commitment to being environmentally responsible,” according to the news release.
