We’re excited to announce that we’re the first UK fuel supplier to receive carbon neutral status under the PAS 2060:2014 Framework. The Crown Oil Group recognises the environmental impacts of fossil fuel use on a local and global scale and due to our first-hand relationship with our customers, understand how deeply dependent society is on oil-based products. We are aware that this is not an excuse for inaction but instead, a growing opportunity to make positive change now. As society makes it difficult to transition to a net zero carbon world, we want to change and evolve to serve our customers with the lowest possible environmental impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put sustainability at the core of our business and are going above and beyond to find ways to reduce that impact. We understand that real lasting change requires action rather than just words, and we\u2019re changing the way we fuel our future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a carbon neutral business is a stepping stone towards our ultimate goal of becoming Net Zero. While we work towards this, our Managing Director, Matthew Greensmith wants to ensure we are doing everything we can to reduce our emissions, rather than sitting and waiting for it to come for us. This led to him setting the target for the Crown Group to be certified carbon neutral by April, using this as a springboard to continue working towards our long-term goal of net zero direct emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 2030, but ideally much sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support this ambition, we have taken steps to fully understand our present environmental impact with a detailed and transparent carbon footprint study across all aspects of our operations (Scope 1, 2 and 3). We are doing this by identifying and delivering carbon reduction projects and compensating for residual emissions through the use of offsets while being aware of the challenges and improvements needed with this approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand there is some scepticism surrounding carbon neutral status, so to ensure transparency and continual improvement, we have partnered with a third party company to verify our emissions and obtain certification to the PAS 2060:2014 standard for carbon neutrality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This specifies a 4-stage process to demonstrate carbon neutrality and involves:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
