It is now an undeniable fact that global warming is occuring and the damage already done is irreversible. The question is, how long must we continue along this destructive path? Climate change and the environment is something we take very seriously at Blackwing and as a result we are proud to be a net zero emissions company.
Carbon neutrality is one of the global responses to climate change. It’s sometimes not possible to completely eradicate a company’s emissions, however, by neutralising them, damage limitation and some good can be returned to the environment. We do this by sponsoring Gold Standard Foundation projects that counterbalance carbon generation around the world.
The Gold Standard or Gold Standard for the Global Goals is a standard and logo certification mark program for non-governmental emission reduction projects in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the Voluntary Carbon Market and other climate and development interventions.

But we want to go even further...
We aim to replace our entire fleet with electric vehicles within the next 5 years. We will continue to offset our emissions, including the emissions produced to generate the electricity to power our vehicles. Allow us to transport you and your colleagues in total comfort and discretion, happy knowing that we are doing everything possible to reduce the impact upon our precious planet.
