Why has a fuel surcharge been implemented at G4S?
During the past decade, the global transportation market has been reacting to increased fuel and oil prices. In the past, we have been able to absorb these costs into our regular operating budgets. However, we have seen an incredible increase in the cost of fuel. As a transportation company, fuel costs are one of the most important items in our cost structure. Therefore, we have had to make the difficult but necessary decision to follow the lead of other transportation companies and implement a fuel surcharge.
