Simarco reach Gold Standard for Carbon Offset

Simarco have recently received gold standard certification in the FloGas Carbon Offset initiative, by compensating 75.30 tonnes of CO2E through the use of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas).

This achievement makes up part of a five-year road map to roll out our sustainability vision and goals. Our sustainability strategy – Simarco’s 3P Vision – focuses the entire business around three key pillars – PEOPLE, PLANET and PROSPERITY.

Simarco are heavily invested in a sustainable vision for the future. Our sustainability program incorporates continuous reductions in our carbon footprint, with recycling, treating and reprocessing of natural resources playing a key role.

Some of the key achievements from our sustainability targets during recent times include:

• Joining the United Nations Global Compact and the UN Global Compact Network UK.
• Redesigning our headquarters in Witham to install highly energy efficient lighting systems across the warehouses and offices, reducing CO2 emissions by an estimated 70%.
• Continuing to invest in new vehicles to reduce emissions while also improving health and safety for our drivers, customers, and other road users.
• Introducing HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) fuel throughout our fleet.
• Assigning key team members to join the UN Global Compacts ‘Climate Ambition Accelerator’ programme. 
• Setting near-term company-wide emission reduction targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
• Through Ecologi, being directly responsible for the planting of over 10,000 trees reducing carbon by over 100 tonnes.
• Achieving gold standard certification in the FloGas Carbon Offset initiative.
