CRJ strengthens fleet standards with FORS Silver Accreditation

CRJ has achieved FORS Silver accreditation, marking a further step in the company’s ongoing focus on raising standards across fleet operations, safety, and sustainability.

The accreditation, awarded through the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS), is widely recognised across the UK transport and logistics sector as a benchmark for best practice. Sitting above the entry-level Bronze standard, FORS Silver reflects a more advanced, proactive approach - where businesses are not only meeting requirements but continuously improving how they operate.

For CRJ, the milestone builds on a broader shift towards more structured, data-led fleet management. As expectations across the industry continue to evolve - particularly around safety and environmental performance - accreditations such as FORS are becoming increasingly important, not just for compliance, but for maintaining credibility across major projects and contracts.

To achieve Silver, operators must demonstrate progress in key areas including vehicle safety, driver training, fuel efficiency, and emissions monitoring, alongside alignment with recognised frameworks such as CLOCS and Work-Related Road Risk (WRRR).

Within CRJ, this has translated into a more joined-up approach to fleet performance. Additional safety systems have been introduced to better protect vulnerable road users, while ongoing driver development ensures consistent standards. At the same time, greater emphasis has been placed on performance data - using insights around fuel usage and emissions to inform operational decisions and drive improvements.

Unlike entry-level accreditations, FORS Silver requires continuous monitoring and annual audits, reinforcing long-term accountability rather than a one-off achievement. This reflects a wider industry shift, where operators are expected to demonstrate ongoing progress and transparency in how they manage their fleets.

For customers and partners, the accreditation offers reassurance that fleet operations are being managed with a clear focus on safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

The achievement also aligns with CRJ’s broader sustainability efforts, as the company continues to explore ways to reduce emissions and improve efficiency across its operations. With increasing pressure across the sector to deliver measurable progress, fleet performance is becoming a key part of that journey.

As standards continue to rise, FORS Silver represents more than a milestone - it signals a commitment to continuous improvement.

For CRJ, it is another step forward in delivering responsible, high-performing operations
