Environmental Mission
Cars are in our Nature
At Gillibrand Accident Repair Centre, we do more than respect nature – we actively work to preserve it through our environmental mission.
We have made environmental responsibility a core part of our code of ethics. Our goals include integrating environmental conservation into our relationships with suppliers, designing activities that respect the vehicle’s life cycle, and adapting our operations to support sustainable development. We put these goals into action through waste recovery, recycling raw materials, and using environmentally friendly paints. All our stakeholders incorporate these responsible practices into their daily methods.
A Green Solution

It’s a win-win situation!
Recycling
Gillibrand Accident Repair Centre adheres to programs for the recycling of parts and materials. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, glass, bumpers, tires and plastics are recovered every year. We recycle cardboard in our workshop and offices. Eliminating such polluting/non-biodegradable wastes adds up to a big plus for the planets!
