Reducing our environmental impact
At Crown Oil Environmental, we realise that climate change is a serious problem that affects us all, therefore, as a business, we are truly committed to implementing solutions to make positive global changes.
We recognise that our own operations have an effect on the local, regional and global environment due to the very nature of our business. As a consequence, we are seeking ways to continuously improve our own environmental performance and decrease our carbon footprint utilising a range of sustainable solutions.
In the last 12 months, the Crown Oil Group has reduced our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 83%
Supporting customers with their cleaner fuel transition
The fuel industry has a key role in helping to decarbonise the economy. Crown Oil Environmental is committed to providing cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions for our customers and are taking practical steps to reduce diesel fuel consumption through encouraging the use of renewable fuels, like HVO.
To demonstrate our strong belief in HVO, as part of the Crown Oil Group, our very own fleet is run on the drop-in diesel alternative, saving around 3,000 tCO2e from our fleet every year.
We’re proud to be a carbon-neutral business as of April 2022, and we’re aiming to achieve net zero direct emissions by 2030
How can we claim carbon-neutral status?
- Carbon Strategy Report conducted by an external consultancy which details where we are now and the measures that we need to take to reduce our carbon footprint
- Implemented a robust and transparent Carbon Reduction and Reporting Strategy which is aligned to international standards (PAS 2060, GHG protocol)
- All emissions are externally verified on a yearly basis with the reports freely available to all stakeholders
Some of the steps we’ve already taken include
- Launched a cultural change programme, providing over 800 hours of staff training
- Created a sustainability team that’s dedicated to ensuring we’re on track with our targets
- Solar panels installed at our offices
- Installed controlled ventilation with heat recovery to provide better indoor air quality with lower energy use (around 25% lighting energy reduction)
- Implemented waste reduction policy (prevented 85% of our general waste going to landfill)
- Installed automatic lighting controls and LED lighting (saving at least 5% in avoidable energy waste)
- Upgraded office heating controls
- Installed EV chargers for staff at key sites
- Electric van added to fleet
- Encouraging customers to switch to cleaner fuels
- Running our tanker fleet on HVO fuel
