Climate Change and Energy Transition
Leading our customers in their energy transition through innovative and cleaner energy solutions.
Download ReportHow we measure our climate emissions
When it comes to tackling climate change and achieving our sustainability goals, there are three types of emissions:
Scope 1
Emissions from our own company’s owned or operated assets – heating and road fuels
Scope 2
Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy
Scope 3
All other indirect emissions connected to our operations (upstream or downstream)
Accreditations & Memberships
Certas Energy are proud to have a number of accreditations and memberships in areas of Environmental Management.
Business accreditations and memberships give assurance to a variety of stakeholders that the business is meeting high standard in various parts of its operations.
They are not legal requirements but they are being increasingly demanded as an externally verified confirmation of confidence in the way that Certas Energy operates.
Driving the energy transition
To improve our performance and increase our business resilience, we have several strategic aims and initiatives in progress:
Bringing HVO supply to more UK commercial customers
Increasing use of renewable fuel
Helping to reduce our customers’ emissions
Launch of our Renewable Energy division
Acquisitions of renewable energy businesses
ISO 50001: Energy Management System
SCOPE 1 & 2 EMISSIONS
Improving fleet operational efficiency
To reduce our energy consumption further, we have taken a range of fuel
consumption reducing actions.
- Refreshing SAFED driver training to improve overall standards
- Introduction of computer software (ORTEC) for more advanced route planning and data-driven decision making.
- Introducing new vehicles fitted with Euro 6 and above
41% Reduction in scope 1 & 2 emissions
SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS
50% Reduction by 2030
Our objective is to reduce our Scope 3 carbon emissions to Net Zero by 2050 – or sooner – with an ambition to achieve a 50% reduction by 2030.
Two categories account for over 90% of our Scope 3 emissions:
- Upstream emissions associated with electricity and fuels purchased for own use and onward sale to customers
- Downstream emissions generated when fuel products we sell are used by customers
Decarbonising our business
To minimise the environmental impact of our business operations, we’re actively reducing our energy consumption and advancing the decarbonisation of our Energy Solutions, Roadside Services, Lubricants and Renewable Energy divisions.
