Crown Oil News & Updates

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re a finalist in the Sustainability category of the Business Champion Awards. With over 800 applications, we’ve made the top 10 entrants for this award, a fantastic achievement that the team and everyone involved should be extremely proud of.

2022 is almost complete and it’s been yet another year to be extremely proud of – most notably, being certified carbon neutral in April, the first step in our goal to achieve net zero direct emissions by 2030. Plus, with the cost-of-living crisis, we’ve placed a huge focus on supporting our local community. We also launched staff volunteering days earlier in the year, allowing us to get involved with some fantastic projects while giving staff the chance to give back to causes they feel passionately about.

Heywood’s St Luke’s Church has been left a legacy to repoint the church steeple. However, during the renovation process, several issues became apparent with the town’s clock, costing a total of £30,000 to repair. We are absolutely delighted to have filled the final gap in funding, and have donated £8,000. As a local born and bred business, we feel extremely passionately about supporting those in need, particularly in our local area.

At Crown Oil we feel really strongly about supporting those in need. In the last 12 months we’ve donated over £22,500 to local charities and causes. A big part of this is our charity calendar, Crown Advent. With the cost-of-living crisis and the struggles of winter for many, we’ve dug deep this December to help local charities and causes in any way we can.

The Crown Oil Group is undergoing a period of significant change as we reposition ourselves towards our goal of net zero by 2030. As the consequences of climate change are becoming ever more apparent, we feel it’s our duty to lead by example and put our money where our mouth is.

With such a huge emphasis now on ESG, it’s important to understand what ESG is and how it can benefit your organisation, helping you to stand out from the crowd and ensuring long-term growth.

This month, we’re celebrating our Diamond Jubilee as we’ve been in business for 75 years!
