Our Commitment to the Environment

The increasing pressures on our planet’s limited natural resources and the looming threat of climate change require swift and collective action from each and every one of us.

We are committed to meeting the needs of our society while minimising the impact of our actions on the environment and future generations. As a leading UK fuel supplier, we must continually evolve to support our customers as they meet the increasing demands of their own business objectives. We are actively seeking a range of environmental commitments and pledges relevant to our business, such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) which is currently developing a methodology specifically for the oil and gas sector.

Fuelling the nation while reducing carbon emissions

Our own operations are certified carbon neutral in accordance with PAS 2060:2014 and ISO 14064 standards. Our next goal is to achieve Net Zero direct emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 2030 or sooner.

How will we get there?

• 2012 – We began voluntarily offsetting delivery emissions
• 2018 – We heavily invested in HVO
• 2021 – We switched entire fleet to HVO and completed office efficiency upgrades
• 2022 – We became certified carbon neutral by April, and began company initiatives such as tree planting
• 2023 – Our offices will be powered by renewable energy
• 2028 – Upgrades to fuel system pump will be implemented
• 2029 – All our small vehicles will be upgraded to electric power
• 2030 – We will achieve Net Zero direct emissions (scope 1 and 2)

Did you know our fleet runs on HVO fuel?

In 2021 we switched our entire delivery fleet over to HVO fuel and predict a saving of around 3,080 tonnes of CO₂ every year. This makes us one of the first fuel suppliers in the UK to power our delivery vehicles on a 100% advanced renewable diesel fuel – an industry first!

We are also continuing to offset any remaining emissions released from our deliveries, effectively making our deliveries carbon neutral.

What else are we doing to achieve net zero?

• Encouraging all customers to switch to low emission fuels
• Using electronic communications where possible to reduce paper consumption
• Recycling all old IT equipment and oil barrels
• Promoting sustainable fuel solutions to streamline clean energy transition
• Providing a wide range of environmental services
