Copart Cares – Valuing and Developing our Teammates

by | Sep 4, 2024

Even as our business continues to grow at pace, we’re always focused on fulfilling our Copart Cares commitment to our customers, teammates, communities, and environment.  

We’re determined to make a positive impact to the people and places around us and we do this by enacting the five pillars of our Copart Cares commitment in everything we do. 

In a series of Copart Cares blogs, we’re going to share with you just some of the initiatives, achievements, and milestones we have launched and celebrated over the past twelve months. 

We start with our teammates, who are at the heart of everything we do and every success that we achieve.  

We’re committed to always acting in the right and most responsible way, and providing a comprehensive range of development opportunities, benefits, and recognition tools. 

In the last twelve months… 

  • Teammates in a wide range of locations and job roles have been recognised through our Copart Superstar awards programme. 
  • Our Leadership Development Programme has been rolled out to 200+ people managers 
  • We acquired status as an IMI approved accreditation centre, giving us the ability to deliver essential IMI TechSafe electric and hybrid vehicle training across our nationwide Operation Centres. 
  • Over 1,700 teammates were given the opportunity to have a Giving It Back Day, an additional paid day of leave to volunteer for a charity close to their heart. 
  • Our commitment to our people was recognised at the Fleet News Wellbeing Awards  
  • We reaffirmed our commitment to being an Accredited Living Wage Employer  
  • A series of Reward, Benefit and Engagement Roadshows were held for our teammates at locations all across the country. 
  • On Armed Forces Day we celebrated and recognised teammates who are part of this special community. 
  • We became the first vehicle recycling organisation to put our people through the ITSSAR ‘train the trainer’ course with The Institute of Vehicle Recovery (IVR) and announced our first cohort of ITSAAR/IVR qualified driver trainers. 

We remain committed to providing a supportive and inclusive culture for our teammates where they can grow, develop, and thrive. In future blogs, we’ll be telling you more about our Copart Cares commitment to our customers, environment, buyers, and communities.
