Simpsons SKODA partners with Ecologi and launches ambitious plans to become carbon neutral

Working with our partners, staff and customers, our goal is to reduce our negative environmental footprint and to create a carbon neutral Simpsons SKODA business

Simpsons SKODA will partner with the award winning Ecologi to offset emissions

Simpsons SKODA, has announced ambitious plans to work towards making the 75-year-old business carbon neutral. Through its ‘Vision Zero’ plan it will work with partners, customers and staff to improve its carbon reduction performance and be a driving force in creating a vision of the sustainable business of the future.

In the initial phase of ‘Vision Zero’ Simpsons SKODA has provided funding to offset the emissions created by the usage of its own vehicles, motorsport team and the entire premises of operations at its retail locations in Preston and Colne.

To achieve these plans Simpsons SKODA will work with award-winning, Ecologi. The team at Ecologi are trusted by some of the world’s leading organisations to deal with complex issues around climate and sustainability.

Neil Simpson, Managing Director of Simpsons SKODA, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be starting this futuristic journey, today.

“Working with our partners, staff and customers, our goal is to reduce our negative environmental footprint, and in the long-term, to create a carbon neutral Simpsons SKODA.

“These are relatively uncharted waters for a family-owned automotive retailer, but we’re determined to improve our impact on the environment.

“Working with our partners, we want to improve our performance and be a driving force in creating a vision of the sustainable business of the future.”

STOP PRESS - For every new vehicle retail order placed between 1st April 2023 and the 30th June 2023 we will fund the plantation of a copse of 25 trees through our climate action partner - Ecologi.

LATEST - For every order placed through our online parts shop here means the planting of another tree though our climate action partner - Ecologi.

We plant trees with Ecologi

We have a Vision Zero.

We know that we’ll have a long way to go. And that we’re unlikely to achieve this goal in the immediate future. But we’re starting this journey today.

Working with our partners, staff and customers, our goal is to reduce our negative environmental footprint, and in the long term to create a carbon neutral Simpsons SKODA business.

We are aware that it will be difficult, perhaps seeming even impossible at times, since certain decisions will always remain beyond our control.

But we will do our best, working with our partners, to improve our performance and be a driving force in creating a vision of the sustainable business of the future.

We’re not starting from scratch. What we’re doing now is setting some ambitious goals which we know will be hard to achieve.
