- Commitment to Carbon Reduction
Cavalier Taxis is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all operations and achieving net zero by 2050, in line with UK Government policy and PPN 06/21. We recognise the importance of sustainability and environmental responsibility in the taxi industry, and we are actively implementing measures to reduce our carbon footprint over time.
- Baseline Emissions (2025)
Scope | Source | Emissions (tCO₂e) |
|---|---|---|
Scope 1 | Fleet fuel use (diesel, petrol, hybrid) | 850 |
Scope 2 | Electricity for office and workshop | 25 |
Scope 3 | Staff commuting, supply chain | 50 |
Total | 925 tCO₂e |
Note: Baseline year for reporting is 2025.
- Carbon Reduction Targets
We have committed to reducing our GHG emissions in stages, with measurable targets leading to net zero by 2050.
Reporting Period | Target Actions | Emissions Target (tCO₂e) |
|---|---|---|
2026–2030 | Introduce additional hybrid/electric vehicles, eco-driving training, route optimisation, energy efficiency measures in office/workshop | 830 |
2031–2040 | Transition majority of fleet to low/zero-emission vehicles, reduce office energy consumption, monitor and improve Scope 3 emissions | 600 |
2041–2050 | Achieve fully electric or zero-emission fleet, implement renewable energy in operations, achieve carbon neutrality across all scopes | 0 |
- Measures to Achieve Targets
- Gradual replacement of diesel and petrol vehicles with hybrid and electric taxis.
- Route optimisation software to reduce mileage and fuel use.
- Eco-driving training for all drivers.
- Energy-efficient lighting and appliances in office and workshop.
- Monitoring of staff commuting and supply chain emissions for Scope 3 reductions.
- Annual reporting and review of emissions to ensure targets are met.
- Responsibility and Governance
- Senior Management oversees implementation and monitoring of this plan.
- All employees are trained in sustainability practices and encouraged to reduce environmental impact.
- Sub-contractors are expected to follow environmental best practices.
- Reporting and Review
- Emissions are measured annually using standard GHG protocols.
- Progress against targets is published on our website.
- Continuous improvement will be applied based on monitoring results and evolving best practices.
This Carbon Reduction Plan has been completed in accordance with PPN 06/21 and approved by the Board of Directors.
