Our Planet

Being environmentally responsible is fundamental to our business

We're also well aware that we need to change in order to play our part in decarbonising the way we live 

Our parent company, SHV Energy, have committed to their sustainability strategy, alongside. In order to make sure that we’re operating with as low an impact as possible, we set ourselves targets and performance indicators, so we know how we’re doing. These targets include ones relating to carbon, waste and energy efficiency.

Carbon 

We’re working hard to reduce carbon emissions linked to our own operations. As well as procuring 100% green electricity and green natural gas across all sites, we’re investing in HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) to reduce emissions associated with our delivery fleet.

Waste 

Reducing the amount of waste generated as a business also means saving money. We try to address waste minimisation as the first step in our resource efficiency plans; and use a target for our recycling rate to encourage the right behaviour when it comes to unavoidable waste that we generate.

Energy Efficiency

As a distribution company, the energy efficiency of our vehicles is very important from an environmental and a cost perspective. Calor is actively investing in alternative fuels; such as LPG and BioLPG, and alternative vehicles to reduce our impact on the environment and local air quality. We're also sponsors of Air Quality News; and vocal participants at events focused on cleaner air, such as Freight in the City and the Air Quality Awards.
