Governance

A clear plan, effective governance 

Our strategic vision is clear. At Fraikin, our goal is to facilitate the mobility of goods and people through fleet management services, to create a brighter future. To make this vision a reality, we use three pillars, that underpin our planning and approach:  

energy transition, mobility, and digital technology.  

A streamlined and organised structure means that we have tighter governance control to be more efficient and agile in our decision making, always remaining attentive to the challenges faced by our customers and their industries.
