Net zero is on everyone’s agenda but achieving tangible goals has been somewhat challenging. Whilst there are various options available to tackle specific areas of sustainability, few outline a complete pathway to support businesses as they reduce their carbon footprints. That could be all set to change though, with a new international standard, BS ISO 14068.

As 2024 approaches, take a look at some of our community work highlights in 2023.

We're proud to have been shortlisted for 2 sustainability awards taking place this autumn. We're thrilled to see that our team's sustainability efforts aren't going unnoticed and look forward to the awards nights in October and November.

Discover the latest changes that we've made to our operations to improve the sustainability of our business and help us keep on track to reach our net zero direct emissions (scope 1 & 2) target by 2030.

We are absolutely over the moon to have won the special recognition award in The Business Champion Awards Sustainability Category! It’s a true honour to be recognised by such a prestigious award for our environmental efforts over the last 12 months.

Companies must seek to reduce their carbon footprint to help combat climate change, and this begins with measuring and reporting on their greenhouse gas emissions. Gaining an understanding of your present carbon footprint is key to setting ambitious reduction targets, as well as designing and delivering effective climate solutions.

Due to our first-hand relationship with our customers, we understand how deeply dependent society is today on oil-based products for daily life. However, we know that this isn’t an excuse for inaction and instead a growing opportunity to make positive change in every way we can.

As part of our ongoing commitment to becoming a sustainable business, we’re investigating new ways to be a force for positive change and are amplifying our efforts to give back to our local community. As a result, we’re thrilled to now offer staff volunteering days during working hours.

As the climate crisis intensifies, new buzzwords are being introduced. Two terms in particular - carbon neutral and net zero carbon - are often used interchangeably but in reality, embody two very different approaches to tackling the climate crisis.

The Crown Oil Group is not only celebrating our diamond jubilee but another landmark achievement: we are the first fuel company in the UK to achieve carbon neutral status in line with the internationally recognised PAS 2060 framework.
