Carbon Neutral

We have undertaken a comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability and have developed a corporate Environmental Policy, to address the immediate and long-term environmental impacts of all aspects of our business.

Reducing our emissions:

By working with The CarbonNeutral® company, a world-leading carbon offset and carbon management company, we have achieved CarbonNeutral® company status. We accomplished this by The CarbonNeutral® company measuring the CO2 emissions emitted from our premises, including from the energy used and waste, and reducing these emissions to net zero through offsetting. Offsetting means that for every tonne of CO2 that has been produced by our company, we pay for an equivalent amount of CO2 to be saved by a validated emissions reduction project that has met international standards.

We have also implemented an Environmental Management System that is ISO14001 compliant and includes strategies to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fuel consumption, electricity use, supply purchases, waste disposal and employee travel. Other environmental initiatives we have undertaken include:

  • Establishing an in-house Environmental Committee
  • Evaluating the latest in hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle technology
  • Measuring, monitoring and reporting on staff commute and business travel
  • Transitioning to a paperless office
  • Retrofitting our office lighting
  • Diverting waste through a company-wide recycling program
  • Choosing biodegradable solvents and cleansers for our vehicle and office

Our vision is to provide Courier transportation that takes complete responsibility for its overall impact on the environment.
