Green Credentials

We’re committed to being a carbon neutral organisation – being green is very close to our hearts. Having beaten our annual carbon neutrality targets by 10% in reporting year 2020/21 we are proud to announce that we are now considered a net positive contributor to the environment. This comes after 11 consecutive years of running our business as carbon-neutral and supporting the shift towards more sustainable transport.

We’re committed to driving down emissions by getting people into newer and greener cars. and genuinely care about preserving the environment. We understand that it’s also high on the agenda for our customers, which is why we decided to give something back to decrease the impact of our cars on the environment. To show our dedication to the planet, we work within a carbon neutral building and offset all of our emissions that we generate as an organisation. Uniquely within our industry, we also offset the tailpipe emissions of all the salary sacrifice cars we put on the road, against a Verified Carbon Standard offsetting project. As of December 2021, we had offset over 250,000 tonnes of carbon! We’re actively seeking ways to reduce the amout of carbon emitted and have had year-on-year reductions for several years:

2018: 35,119 tCO2

2019: 28,530 tCO2

2020: 19,936 tCO2

2021: 15,823 tCO2

We’re continuously identifying opportunities to improve our green credentials and as members of the EV100, we have recently pledged to have an entirely zero-emission fleet by 2030. We’re committed to achieving the highest standards of excellence and are delighted that our hard work has been recognised in the last six years by being awarded the Green Apple Environmental Award for Environmental Best Practice on five occasions, as well as achieving a Green World Ambassador award in 2018.
