Environmental Impact Statement

Last updated: 4 November 2026

This statement explains where Kerbway’s environmental impact comes from, why our model is designed to reduce it, and how we intend to measure and report that impact as our operations grow.

As a new company we are not yet publishing measured figures. This statement describes our intended impact and the methodology we will use to quantify it, rather than reporting results. We will replace these descriptions with measured data as it becomes available.

Where our impact comes from

The environmental impact associated with Kerbway falls into a few broad areas:

  • The vehicles operated through Kerbway schemes: their manufacture (embodied emissions) and their use (tailpipe and energy-related emissions). Kerbway owns no vehicles: our customers own or lease them, from their usual supplier or through our vehicle-supply partners. The way our service encourages them to be used still has a direct bearing on their impact.
  • Avoided impact: the private cars, grey-fleet mileage and underused pool vehicles that a shared fleet displaces.
  • Our own operations: energy, business travel, IT and procurement.

Why the model reduces impact

Kerbway is built to drive down impact:

  • Higher utilisation means fewer vehicles are needed to deliver the same journeys, so the substantial embodied emissions of each vehicle are spread across many more trips.
  • Displacing private and grey-fleet mileage with shared, efficient vehicles reduces the total number of cars an organisation and its people rely on.
  • Better data on bookings, mileage and vehicle choice helps customers cut unnecessary journeys and accelerate the shift to electric.
  • A route to electrification progressively removes tailpipe emissions from the journeys we enable. Our target is for every Kerbway scheme to run fully electric vehicles by 2030. Our customers choose their vehicles, so we work towards it by recommending low- and zero-emission vehicles in every new deployment and helping customers plan the switch.

How we will measure it

We intend to quantify our impact using recognised methods. Our approach will:

  • Account for emissions on a recognised basis (the GHG Protocol), distinguishing between our own operational emissions and those associated with the fleets we enable.
  • Use the UK Government’s greenhouse gas conversion factors, published each year by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Our grey-fleet calculator already uses them.
  • Consider both vehicle-use emissions and embodied emissions, so that efficiency gains from higher utilisation are properly reflected.
  • Develop a defensible basis for estimating avoided impact (the mileage and vehicles displaced) without overstating benefits.
  • Be reviewed alongside the environmental management system we plan to build for ISO 14001 certification.

We will set out our methodology in full, and begin reporting figures against it, as our operations reach the scale where the data is meaningful.

Responsibility and review

Our CEO, Marc Roberts, is responsible for this statement. We will review it at least annually, and whenever our operations change significantly.
