Global Chauffeur Service Blacklane Gets its Carbon Offsetting Third-Party Certified

Dubai, UAE: The leading global chauffeur service Blacklane tapped Cooper Parry, the UK-based accounting firm, to certify its carbon offset methods from all rides taken in 2021. Cooper Parry thoroughly reviewed emissions in a detailed process, thereby showcasing that Blacklane continues to prioritize transparency and will continue to lead the transportation industry in sustainability efforts.

Cooper Parry interviewed the Blacklane team to understand the governance and review process for data management and collection of the rides, including how the information is captured at site level and how this feeds up to business level. Additionally, the Cooper Parry team analyzed and tested the key structures, systems, proceses, procedures and controls related to the collation, validation and reporting of the sustainability performance data. Lasty, the Cooper Parry team performed recalculations in order to corroborate the tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted, carbon credits purchased and the carbon credits retired.Blacklane was originally founded in 2011 to help reduce waste of resources by avoiding empty rides and better utilizing existing capacities within the industry. In 2017, the premium chauffeur service went one step further by offsetting carbon emissions for all rides and in 2021 successfully offset all remaining carbon emissions from 2017 back to Blacklane’s founding.
