SFS FC for Brand-lowres Transcript

[Background music plays]

Bass drum, sparse piano, and electronic arpeggios pulse along in steady rhythm, creating a pensive,

dramatic effect.

[Video footage]

In near-total darkness, a bay door which fills the entire frame begins to open, slowly moving up from the bottom of the frame, revealing the lower half of a person standing outside the door in shadow with a fleet of blue G4S vans visible behind them.

Voice-over

The very nature of the work at G4S involves risk.

[Video footage]

A shot of a security camera is briefly shown. The person, in a hard hat and security vest, carries a heavy-duty case out to one of the vans. A close-up is shown of the van door, which reads, Electric Vehicle Zero Emissions, as the person puts the case into the van and closes the door. In quick succession the van is shown backing out of its parking spot, pulling out of the lot, driving down a treelined main road, and then pulling into a Shell station.

Voice-over

When moving large quantities of money, the last thing the drivers should be worrying about is where to charge their vehicle on the go.

[Video footage]

The van drives across the screen from right to left, revealing the on-screen text.

There we go. That’s it.

This is to maximize our uptime and to ensure our operational and corporate fleet have the provisions in place to charge their vehicles.

Shell Recharge is one of the most used apps on my phone.

Another close shot of his hands as he uses the app is followed by a shot of the charging station screen as he replaces the charger. His car is then shown pulling out of the station and driving down a street.

With the Shell Card connected to my app, it makes payment very quick and easy.

We’re able to order cards, set limits, and ultimately have visibility of all data relating to usage both on fuel and EV operations.

[Video footage]

An outline of the Shell logo appears in the middle of the screen and then radiates outward, filling the screen, then disappearing, leaving a shot of cars parked at the station. A hand removes a charger from a station.

G4S and Shell are working together in their global sustainable partnership to achieve our environmental and sustainability decarbonization goals.

That includes looking at opportunities to move to renewable power, innovative energy solutions, and decarbonizing mobility.

[Video footage]

Fiona Walters speaks, looking off-camera.

Fiona Walters

About 70% of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are derived from our fleet.

Our aim is that by 2030, 100% of our UK car fleet will be electric and our vision is that by 2040, all of our larger operational vehicles will also be net-zero.

[Video footage]

Fiona Walters speaks, looking off-camera. A white G4S car, a black car, an ambulance, a white G4S van, and a blue G4S van are all shown driving in identical shots in quick succession.

A company of our size and scale, it’s really important that we lead the industry and Shell Fleet Solutions will help our fleet stay on the go.

[Video footage]

The last shot of the blue van contracts into a white silhouette of the Shell logo at the center of a white screen, which then expands to fill the screen as a true Shell logo and the on-screen text appears.
