CD Auction sets 2023 carbon neutral deadline

CD Auction Group has announced plans to be carbon neutral by 2023.

The company has already moved 60% of its company fleet to alternative fuelled vehicles (AFV) and aims to have 100% of its company cars as AFV by 2025.

The move follows new investment in charging infrastructure at its sites across the country as it prepares to handle a rapid increase in the volume of electric vehicles.

Andy Pearce, operations director at CD Auction Group, said: “We have ambitious plans to reduce our impact on the environment over the next few years. CD Auctions is taking wide-ranging steps from minimising our waste streams to carbon offsetting to ensure we can take the lead in our sector.”

CD Auctions has partnered with Project Zero to introduce a carbon offsetting scheme to reduce its carbon footprint to zero. The programme includes a rigorous measurement of carbon outputs and a wide range of energy-saving measures.

The company has also undertaken training of its employees to ensure its technicians are qualified on the latest EV technologies.
