Environment

Our Environmental Pledge.

Alton Cars place our Corporate and Social responsibilities at the very forefront of everything that we do. We have always been mindful of our environment, and for many years now we have:

Continued to upgrade equipment and lighting within all of our sites to more energy efficient options.

Replaced roof lights in all workshop areas to promote the use of natural light in our working areas where outside light permits

We recycle as many products as possible, including plastics, aluminium, steel, cardboard and all vehicle fluids.

We use the latest in paint technology, the majority of which are now water based products.

We have for the past 5 years been purchasing 100% renewable energy.

All of the above has been to ensure that we are doing the very best to look after our environment. In early 2021 we set out on the journey to become Carbon Neutral and we have now obtained Carbon Neutrality with the PAS2060 standard across all of our sites. Throughout our business, we are now committed to continual improvement, and we have targeted ourselves to show a minimum of a 2% reduction in carbon emissions year on year. We will continue to achieve improvements though the use of our carbon management plan which will monitor and target improvements with us offsetting the remaining emissions to give us Carbon Neutrality.
