Vehicle Check: Together, We’re Driving Towards a Greener Future
The climate crisis is no longer a distant spectre on the horizon; it’s a clear and present danger. With every passing year, the effects of our changing climate are becoming increasingly evident. In the UK, we’re experiencing hotter summers, colder winters, and increased flooding. Experts warn us that if we continue on this path, these changes could become irreversible.
One of the biggest contributors to climate change is the automotive industry, and it’s not just about exhaust emissions. The production processes, waste management, and energy consumption throughout a car’s life cycle all contribute to the industry’s carbon footprint.
The good news is that the tide is turning. The UK government has made it clear that change is coming, with a target to cease the sale of new fossil-fueled vehicles by 2030. This is pushing the automotive industry to shift towards more sustainable alternatives, like electric vehicles (EVs).
Championing Carbon Removal Initiatives
While the transition to EVs is an important part of the solution, it’s not the only one. We also need to actively remove the carbon dioxide (CO₂) that’s already in our atmosphere. This is where businesses like Ultimate Car Check are stepping up.
We’ve pledged to contribute 1% of all sales to removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. This isn’t just about offsetting our carbon footprint; it’s about actively reversing the damage that has been done. We’re proud to be part of a growing coalition of forward-thinking businesses changing the course of carbon removal.
Carbon removal is critical to counteract climate change
This is critical work. The technology to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere lags behind the speed at which we’re pumping it out, but together, we’re on a mission to change that.
Each time you process a vehicle check with Ultimate Car Check, a fraction of every purchase supports the scale-up of new carbon removal technologies. You’re not only securing your potential car, van or motorcycle purchase, but you’re also contributing to an imperative cause. Our mission goes beyond providing reliable vehicle details; we’re committed to addressing the pressing issue of climate change.
Why We Contribute and Your Vehicle Check Impact
We believe businesses can play a critically important role in helping fight climate change. Our partnership with Stripe Climate, a coalition of businesses accelerating carbon removal, allows us to pool resources and drive meaningful change.
Stripe Climate
Through this partnership, we’re supporting a portfolio of emerging technologies that remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. For example, Climeworks uses renewable geothermal energy and waste heat to capture CO₂ directly from the air, and Charm Industrial has created a novel carbon removal pathway that converts biomass into bio-oil.
With your help, our contribution helps these technologies to scale up. Most new technology is expensive at first, but early customers can help get new technologies down the cost curve. By contributing to the development of carbon removal technologies, we’re helping to create a sustainable, cleaner future for everyone.
In fact, as of today, more than 25,000 businesses from 39 countries have joined this initiative, funding next-generation carbon removal technologies and making a tangible difference in the battle against climate change.
Why It Works
Being part of Stripe Climate enables Ultimate Car Check to join forces with businesses from all over the world, aggregating funds and increasing demand for carbon removal. It’s a movement that proves no company is too small to make a difference. Together, we can amplify our impact and turn the tide against climate change.
Remember, every time you make a purchase from Ultimate Car Check, you’re not just getting a great service – you’re also contributing to the fight against climate change. Together, we can drive towards a cleaner, greener future.
