How to Make Your Fleet Carbon Neutral

Cutting carbon emissions and improving environmental credentials is back on the agenda since we now know that climate change is caused by humans. However, for many businesses, pollution from the fleet represents the most substantial element of their environmental footprint. 

Regrettably, offsetting or reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not yet a legal requirement and in times of recession it’s not surprising it therefore slips down the priority list for most businesses.  

 

Notwithstanding this, at RVM we take a more positive view.  Our experience shows that businesses would like to be able to improve and demonstrate their corporate social responsibility.  

Additionally, major elements of a typical Tender response will now require you to show how your business minimises its impact on the environment.  Thirdly, if you’re a ‘plc’, you have to include a report on your greenhouse gas emissions as part of your annual report and accounts.

Bitter pills are often easier to swallow if you put them with something sweet!  In other words, we believe the cost of offsetting the carbon footprint of your fleet should be absorbed into other associated services in which a fleet needs to invest.  In doing just that, RVM can ease the financial burden, whilst offering all the benefits.

By measuring the carbon footprint of your fleet we can calculate how many verified carbon units we need to buy on your behalf to offset your emissions. A certificate verifies our investment on your behalf into a specific forestry project in the developing world.

Quality and traceability are essential in any green business initiative and our carbon credits are certified by internationally recognised standards such as the ‘Verified Carbon Standard’ (VCS) and the ‘Climate, Community and Biodiversity’ (CCB) standard.

By integrating the offset scheme into all our accident and risk management services as standard we are giving our fleet clients peace of mind that their fleet operations are as green as possible.
