Glass specialist gains carbon neutral status

Auto Windscreens, in Partnership Park, Portsmouth, has become a carbon neutral site after the firm brought in a carbon reduction plan.

The company worked with BP Target Neutral to gain Carbon Neutral Certification.

Rupert Armitage, Auto Windscreens' managing director, said: '˜As a conscientious business with a busy vehicle fleet and over 40 buildings around the UK we have a responsibility to set an example and mitigate our carbon impact on the planet.' 

Since 2006, BP Target Neutral has offset three million tonnes of carbon on behalf of customers '“ equivalent to taking around 1.3m cars off the road for a year.
