In particular, an increase in awareness on the impact the industry is having on the environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Due to efficiency improvements, electrification and greater use of biofuels, positive steps have been taken to lessen this impact. Global transport emissions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/tracking-transport-2020\">increased by less than 0.5% in 2019<\/a> (compared with 1.9% annually since 2000), showing that targeted action can produce tangible results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">However there is still much work to do. Transportation is still responsible for roughly a quarter of all direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion, with road vehicles accounting for nearly three-quarters of these emissions.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"c-image image content-section content-section--no-pad \">\n    <div class=\"animated fadeInUp container container--small\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/22161124\/shutterstock_1722021829-2080x1000.jpg\"\n     data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/22161124\/shutterstock_1722021829-520x333.jpg 360w,\n                https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/22161124\/shutterstock_1722021829-1040x500.jpg 768w,\n                https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/22161124\/shutterstock_1722021829-2080x1000.jpg 1440w,\n                https:\/\/chevin-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/22161124\/shutterstock_1722021829-4160x2000.jpg 2000w\" class=\" fadeInUp__1\" \/>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"content-section animated fadeInUp\" >\n    <div class=\"container container--small  user-content fadeInUp__1\">\n        <h3><strong>Our journey so far<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As an organisation we believe that creating a more sustainable world is essential for future generations to thrive and will continue to carry out initiatives that are environmentally responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Our CEO, Ashley Sowerby, states:\u00a0<em>\u2018We are committed to continuously reducing the impact our company has on the world around us.
