Fuelling Responsibly for Future Generations

At Crown Oil, we want to do the right thing, from being the first UK fuel distributor to be certified carbon neutral to running our entire fleet on HVO fuel. We’re passionate about fuelling responsibly and are committed to implementing effective carbon-reducing solutions at every level of our business.

There is no hiding from the fact that we supply fossil fuels. We feel this gives us a greater responsibility than most when it comes to protecting the environment. Aiming for net zero direct emissions by 2030 is both a brave and bold move but one that proves our commitment to doing what is right for both our business and the planet.

The UK’s First Carbon Neutral Fuel Supplier

We have achieved carbon neutrality in accordance with the ISO 14068-1 standard. This is a huge accomplishment for us, particularly as a fuel supplier, and demonstrates that if you really want to make a positive change you can, regardless of your industry. We are in our fourth year of reporting, previously being certified ISO 14068 carbon neutral following official BSI audits on ISO 14064-1 and third-party ISO 14068 verification.
