Thatcham based automotive specialist Xtrac is miles ahead

A Thatcham-based automotive specialist is miles ahead of the competition bagging three accreditations.

Xtrac has achieved three important accreditations over the past 12 months.

This includes attaining the Environment, Social and Governance ESGMark, setting emissions reduction goals through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and recognition as a Real Living Wage Employer.

Xtrac chief executive Adrian Moore said: “Xtrac has a longstanding commitment to ESG matters with employee wellness at the heart of its operations, as measured by our high levels of staff retention.

“Looking after our employees helps us look after our worldwide customers and other stakeholders, ensuring that we remain at the pinnacle of our industry as it transitions from internal combustion engines to hybrid and electric vehicles.”

The company said it has been forging ahead by offering award-winning apprentice and undergraduate training for over 30 years.

“Xtrac is committed to pursuing an ESG agenda dedicated to the environment, social and governance improvements that engender a sustainable future,” says the company’s head of finance Neil Johnston.

“Employee engagement is fundamental to providing an inclusive, diverse and safe work environment with strong links to our local communities in the UK and USA guided by ethical governance”.

Mr Johnston, who joined the company in early 2022, added: “It will benefit our apprentices and hourly paid employees.

“It’s not just about the remuneration, but the total package of benefits, including the personal development available for all staff that helps us attract and retain the best talent in the automotive and motorsport industry.”
