CARBON CLEAR PARTNERSHIP
Working in partnership with carbon clear
We're serious about our responsibility to tackle global climate change. That's why we're in partnership with Carbon Clear to cancel our carbon emissions through a continuous carbon offsetting scheme based on the mileage of each car.
Clearly the best way to reduce carbon emissions is to stop activities that create them. That is part of our policy and we work to minimise the impact of what we do. But our business is classic car hire and we think that people should have the opportunity to enjoy great old cars like the Jensen Interceptor and Alfa Romeo Spider. So the next best option for us is to offset.
Carbon Clear invests in projects that remove carbon dioxide from the air by replacing polluting technologies with clean ones, and planting native trees. Carbon Clear's projects are in developing couontries and are carefully screened to ensure that they improve local people's wellbeing.
We have worked with Carbon Clear to calculate the exact amount of carbon dioxide that the classic and modern cars associated with Great Escape emit, and Carbon Clear has identified projects that prevent the same amount of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. Projects range from a biogas plant in Kenya that allows villagers to stop burning charcoal and get their light and heat from renewable sources, to a tree planting cooperative in India that provides local people with food and medicines as well as soaking up carbon dioxide. All Carbon Clear's projects are guaranteed to meet the highest standards of social development and environmental rigour.
