Our performance affects not only our success at meeting our own environmental commitments, but also plays an important part in helping our customers meet their goals.

Gist's corporate responsibility programme involves our environmental and social responsibilities.

The environment

We have pioneered leading-edge environmental initiatives such as the efficient use and design of vehicles, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, and improving recycling schemes for packaging and waste. And we are constantly finding new ways to minimise the impact of every aspect of our business.

Gist has:

• taken long-term approach to our use of vehicles
• an ambitious driver training programme, improving safety and reducing fuel use
• continously increased fill rates
• been an early adopter of Euro 5 vehicles
• electric/hybrid/dual fuel LPG diesel vehicles
• bespoke solutions for vehicle aerodynamics and air management
• minimised refrigerant gases and energy use
• customer relationships with lower carbon-emission priorities.

The community

Gist is also committed to giving something back to our local communities. 

We support a wide range of local and international charities and school education programmes.

Through our parent company, The Linde Group, Gist is signed up to the UN Global Compact and adheres to a company Code of Ethics.

Above all, we are an ethical company with high standards, and we live by our values: 

• excellence,
• people focus,
• innovation and
• customer partnership.
