Edinburgh’s Greenest Taxi Company

Because sustainability isn’t a statement. It’s how we operate.

Transport plays a vital role in how a city functions. At Central Taxis, we believe it should also play a responsible role in protecting it.

We have invested consistently in cleaner vehicles, smarter fleet management and measurable carbon reduction — not as a trend, but as a long-term commitment.

Today, we are recognised as Edinburgh’s greenest taxi company, delivering reliable, carbon-neutral journeys across the capital while continuing to reduce our environmental impact

Measurable Progress

Sustainability must be backed by evidence.

Since 2019, Central Taxis has reduced operational emissions by over 60% — from 1,970 tonnes of CO₂ to 753 tonnes.

This has been achieved through:

• Investment in electric vehicles
• Cleaner fleet standards
• Improved fleet management systems
• Continuous environmental monitoring

We remain focused on reducing emissions directly while maintaining the service standards businesses expect.

A Cleaner Fleet Across Edinburgh

Today:

• 140+ vehicles in our fleet are fully electric
• Around one third of our fleet is electric — and growing
• All vehicles meet strict Euro 6 Low Emission Zone (LEZ) requirements

This ensures reduced urban emissions while maintaining reliability across the city.

Carbon Neutral by Design

Reducing emissions is our priority. We also take responsibility for the emissions that remain.

All customer journeys are carbon neutral, with emissions offset in partnership with Carbon Footprint Ltd through verified clean energy and environmental projects.

For businesses, this means:

• Carbon-neutral transport as standard
• Clear accountability
• Detailed emissions reporting to support internal sustainability audits

Sustainable transport is built into our daily operations — not offered as an optional extra.

Independently Certified

Environmental responsibility must be transparent and independently verified.

Central Taxis operates under:

• ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification
• Recognition by BAFTA albert

You can find our business on the BAFTA albert Suppliers Directory. We were independently vetted and met strict sustainability requirements as set out by the BAFTA albert team.

These standards demonstrate structured environmental management and ongoing commitment to improvement.
