As part of its Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (HHTS) partnership, bp will offer healthier cooked meals at 29 participating truck stops.
The move is an effort to encourage healthier food choices for workers in the broader road transport, warehousing, and logistics industries, after research from Monash University showed that 70 per cent of truck drivers in Australia do not meet health and balanced diet guidelines.
The sites will offer freshly cooked meals, 24-hours a day, and users of the Healthy Heads App will receive and $5 discount when purchasing their food.
Tanya Ghosn, VP fleet, dealer, truckstops and electrification ANZ of bp Australia, said she is proud of their partnership with HHTS.
“By implementing innovative offers like this, we believe that we support improvements in the areas of psychological safety and physical wellbeing across the road transport, warehousing and logistics industries in Australia.”
Naomi Frauenfelder, CEO of HHTS, said that limited access to healthy food options is an ongoing challenge for many people working across the industry, particularly those who spend extended periods of time away from home or work in remote areas.
“This is why we have taken steps toward increasing healthier food options, while also making these options more accessible from a cost perspective, through our Foundation Corporate Partner bp providing a discount to anyone who uses the Healthy Heads App.”
The HHTS App is free to join and features information and tools to help build better understanding of mental health and physical well-being, providing users with practical knowledge and sharing tips for healthier practices.
