Electric car charge ports.
Zonal light sensors
Waste & Recycling Enhancements:
Reduce general waste through enhanced segregation.
Increase recycling rates for wood, plastic, pallets, and office materials.
Introduce circular‑economy practices for packaging reuse.

Fleet

2026–2028: Switch to HVO fuel (up to 90% CO₂ reduction).
2028–2035: Transition to electric and hydrogen‑powered HGVs.
Invest in aerodynamics, low‑rolling‑resistance tyres, lightweight trailers.

Technology & Data (incorporating Vehicle Planning & Routing)

Deploy AI‑driven route optimisation to reduce empty miles.
Use telematics for real‑time load planning and fuel‑efficiency insights.
Introduce predictive maintenance analytics to reduce downtime and emissions.
Implement ESG data platforms for live carbon‑tracking and reporting.

People (Learning & Development)

Eco‑driving training for all professional drivers.
Introduce sustainability modules into induction and annual training.
Driver incentives and recognition schemes for low‑emission behaviours.
Local college and school engagement programmes including placements for learners
Apprenticeships and up-skilling programmes

Procurement (incorporating former Energy & Utilities)

Customer Benefits

Our roadmap ensures:

A significantly lower carbon footprint for our customers’ chain.
Full alignment with emerging sustainability regulations.
A partnership with a logistics provider committed to measurable, transparent progress.

Next Steps

We are ready to integrate these initiatives into customer supply‑chain strategies and provide transparent reporting as we progress toward Net Zero by 2035.

Ensuring sustainability across our wider supply chain

To drive meaningful environmental progress throughout our broader network, we actively enforce strict sustainability criteria across our entire supply chain. This involves requiring all suppliers to meet established minimum environmental standards and prioritising the procurement of low-carbon materials, recyclable packaging, and certified goods. Internally, we are committed to reducing our operational footprint by switching all purchased electricity to renewable sources and utilising advanced energy monitoring systems, including smart metering, across our sites. Furthermore, we actively manage resource consumption by implementing leak detection protocols and efficient fixtures to significantly reduce water usage.
