Vehicle movement specialist Engineius has taken further positive action to reinforce its green credentials by carbon-offsetting its business, amid plans to also go carbon-neutral for its customers’ vehicle movements.
Engineius worked with Climate Partner to become a climate-neutral company by first calculating its CCF – Corporate Carbon Footprint – and then paying to offset the emissions produced in the operation of the company.
Calum Slowther, managing director at Engineius, said: “We are delighted to be approved as a climate-neutral company.”
Importantly, Engineius is taking a twin-track approach to being climate-neutral, starting with setting the business up operationally to avoid all emissions possible and then offsetting those emissions impossible to avoid.
Working with Climate Partner, Engineius will offset its unavoidable emissions by paying into high-impact projects in the Global South, starting with bamboo afforestation efforts in Nicaragua.
This figure will be recalculated each year to monitor progress and identify additional areas for improvement.
It’s part of the firm’s ongoing work in sustainability.
Slowther continued: “When we launched back in 2018 our vision was to make vehicle movement easy, transparent and as green as possible. The green element is imperative; it means taking ownership of firstly, the carbon output of our own business, and secondly the emissions created through the vehicle movement service we provide.”
The project marks the first phase of work in the firm’s climate-neutral plans.
Slowther added: “Phase two is to work with our customers to carbon-offset each vehicle movement made by Engineius.
“As well as delivering a quality service we will work with our fleet customers to ensure the day-to-day movement of vehicles within their fleet role supports their own business goals towards carbon-neutrality.”
