Environment
Our Commitment
Human activity is threatening the health of the environment and jeopardising our future. At Chandlers Oil & Gas, we realise that climate change is a serious problem that affects us all, therefore we are truly committed to implementing solutions to global challenges.
We recognise that our own operations have an effect on the local, regional and global environment due to the nature of our business. As an consequence, we continuously improve our own environmental performances and decrease our carbon footprint.
Chandlers Oil & Gas has set a environmental action plan by setting realistic objectives and targets.
Our first aim is to incorporate the following features, which focus on our direct emissions, reducing our carbon footprint:
- Using energy saving light bulbs and energy efficient equipment.
- Using electronic communications to reduce paper consumption (e.g. online billing, e-mail, e-statements, direct debit, etc.)
- Using teleconferencing facilities when possible to avoid the need to travel to meetings
- Using recycled paper
- Minimising the amount of waste through reduction, recovery and recycling
- Recycling waste paper, print cartridges, electronic equipment and kitchen waste to eliminate methane production in landfill
- Regularly servicing and maintaining all of our tankers and company cars to ensure fuel efficiency
- Encouraging our clients to purchase in bulk with neighbours to save fuel on delivery and decrease CO2 emissions
Although all sensible CO2 reduction steps are taken, it is impossible for us (and most other people and businesses) to completely eliminate our carbon footprint.
Therefore, our second aim is to develop an offset strategy by purchasing high quality offset credits for those CO2 emissions we cannot reduce. The intention of these credits is to reduce emissions somewhere else in the world by investing into projects or technologies that actively help to reduce global CO2 levels.
Oil and gas will continue to provide a relevant share of the world’s energy needs in this century; therefore we recognise the challenge of meeting future energy demand and the importance of stimulating climate change issues.
As an independent fuel distributor, we believe action is required to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions in an equitable and responsible way.
As a corporate responsible company, we are taking immediate action and encouraging others to act.
To save fuel on delivery and decrease CO2 emissions, buy in bulk or with a neighbour, and the more you buy, the more money you save.
Please remember,Chandlers Oil & Gas as one organisation cannot achieve sustainable development alone, we must all contribute together towards making a difference and achieving environmental sustainability.
