FORS Gold Accreditation – Application Preparation Support

FORS Gold accreditation is the highest level of recognition in the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS). It demonstrates that your business not only meets compliance standards but also leads the industry in safety, sustainability, and operational excellence.

Gold builds on Bronze and Silver, requiring operators to show continuous improvement and a long-term commitment to best practice. For many major contracts and tenders, particularly in the construction, infrastructure, and logistics sectors, Gold accreditation is the ultimate benchmark.

What Is FORS Gold?

To achieve Gold, operators must go beyond Silver requirements and demonstrate:

• Sustained performance monitoring – consistent improvement in fuel efficiency, CO₂ reduction, and collision rates

• Advanced driver training and development – ensuring drivers are continually improving safety and environmental skills

• Proactive safety culture – evidence of initiatives to protect vulnerable road users and improve fleet safety

• Corporate social responsibility – policies that promote sustainability, community engagement, and ethical practices

• Regular performance reporting to FORS – demonstrating accountability and ongoing progress

Gold shows clients, regulators, and the public that your organisation is a leader in safe, efficient, and responsible fleet management.
