Ubico and our value of‘ Be Safe’ is universally recognized by all our employees,” Beth states.“ We are committed to consistently driving continuous improvement in health and safety and compliance. Our internal
compliance team ensures we’ re meeting legislative requirements to support our safety, health, environment, and quality team with day-to-day delivery.
“ Our vehicles are fitted with 360-degree cameras, reversing assistants and radars, and rollaway alerts to help with safety measures. We’ ve also introduced in-cab technology across our crews to enable real-time reporting and feed data into both our internal and our council partners’ systems. This helps with delivery efficiency and improves missed collection rates, due to live updates on events like road closures or breakdowns.”
Looking ahead
As our conversation with Beth closes, she turns her attention to what’ s next for Ubico.“ Our people are the backbone of Ubico and everything that we do,” she states.“ We’ re passionate about supporting our workforce, and we’ ve established new initiatives like an employee engagement survey and improved attraction methods, including an applicant tracking system. In terms of sustainability, we’ re continuing to roll out HVO fuel where our partners support it, analyzing our data to develop climate dashboards, and we’ re working on some partner-driven environmental biodiversity projects. We’ re always keeping a close eye on what’ s coming to the market in terms of technology, and we’ re extending the in-cab tech into our streets and grounds team.
“ We’ ve got a strong focus on climate initiatives and reducing our impact on the environment, which aligns with our partners who are also working towards ambitious carbon neutrality targets,” Beth concludes.“ We’ ll continue to drive greater efficiency by working closely with our shareholder councils, as well as exploring growth opportunities if they align with our current business.” ■
