Our Ethical and Environmental Principles

We are committed to the following principles in our promotion of biodiesel:

To supply excellent quality fuel that meets the relevant British and European Standards e.g. European Standard EN 14214 for pure biodiesel.

To supply biodiesel at an acceptable and sustainable price

To always supply biodiesel derived from renewable feedstocks. Our preference is UCO (used cooking oil) because the reduction in carbon dioxide emission is greater than for virgin oil. We are strongly opposed to GM agriculture when applied to non-food crops and virgin palm oil due to its impact on deforestation

To always source biodiesel from vegetable oil rather than animal fats or palm oil although there are likely to be traces of animal products in used cooking oil

To support our members with any technical or other information to enable their confident use of biodiesel

To support a local rather than global economy by minimising our own ecological footprint

To work with other organisations towards improving local air quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and true sustainability

To promote other ways of reducing emissions and impacts from motorised transport

To support the grassroots network of suppliers and other enterprises also working with the highest environmental and ethical standards

To raise awareness of the need to adopt a more sustainable model of transportation, that supports local economies, improves air quality and lessens climate-change gas emissions

To foster and support the principles and concept of co-operation, to support the co-operative movement, and to involve our members in co-operative principles and management practices

To maintain an open and transparent approach to our practice of biodiesel use and promotion ensuring that our environmental and ethical principles remain at the heart of our operations
