Fleet management and leasing company Fleet Alliance has attained carbon-neutral status.
This milestone was reached through the implementation of various carbon-saving initiatives, leading to a significant reduction in the company’s carbon footprint.
The company has reduced its corporate energy consumption by 57%, including a switch to a renewables-only energy supplier, primarily powered by wind.
In 2021, Fleet Alliance made a pivotal change to its fleet, transitioning entirely to electric vehicles (EVs). It has also introduced a zero-emission policy for all employee salary sacrifice cars.
These measures have led to a 90% reduction in the company’s carbon emissions.
To address the remaining 10%, Fleet Alliance has invested in carbon offsetting, aligning with three schemes under the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Fleet Alliance has adhered to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s reporting standards, covering both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
Scope 1 encompasses direct emissions while Scope 2 accounts for indirect emissions such as those from purchased energy.
Fleet Alliance CEO Andy Bruce said: “It’s not a legal requirement for our company, but we believe carbon neutrality is essential to our business as a sustainable mobility provider.
“Put simply, we have to turn the clock back on carbon emissions – or continue to face further and more ferocious natural disasters of the type that we have seen across the world recently.”
Bruce emphasised the company’s commitment to continuous environmental improvement.
He commented: “Corporate carbon neutrality can play a part in the UK Government’s ambitions for 2050, part of which is the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, which lays down the proportion of cars and vans that must be zero emission each year.
“This is something we very much support through our client fleet management policy that encourages EV take up and our EV salary sacrifice programme for greater encouragement of environment, social and governance (ESG) programmes.”
