Greenarc Fuel Cards has introduced a new carbon offsetting service, enabling its business fuel card users to take action on their CO2 impact.

Its partnerships with leading carbon offset verification organisations such as Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard and the Climate Action Reserve mean customers can now help tackle climate change by funding several CO2e prevention and reduction projects across the world.

Customers receive details on a monthly basis of the amount of carbon which has been offset and the green projects which were supported. They also have assurance that the projects they fund are both legitimate and available for investment.  

Kevin Jackson, sales manager, said: “We’ve spent the last year putting the foundations in place, researching the process, and working with verified carbon developers to ensure we can deliver and support our customers with our brand-new carbon offsetting service. From speaking to businesses and our large customer base we know that there is already a huge appetite in the market for this service and we can’t wait to work with companies around the UK as a trusted partner to help them start their decarbonisation journey.”  

It’s the latest work by Greenarc to drive sustainability forward for fossil fuel users across the UK and follows its rebrand from Craggs Fuel Cards to highlight its new vision.  

Matthew Crockett, managing director, said: “This is the next crucial step for our company and it’s important to us that we are able to educate and support our customers with methods to reduce their carbon footprint and look into alternative ways in which they can power their fleet.  

“Owing to the Government’s net zero target, the increased social spotlight on climate change and the importance of legitimate green credibility for tenders and commercial contracts, it’s now more important than ever that businesses look to their own organisation’s carbon impact. Embracing a carbon offsetting scheme like this doesn’t just balance the CO2e output from an organisation’s fuel but also increases funding for green projects which can have a positive impact on many lives by bringing economic and social improvements to entire communities.”
