Environment

Our approach to environmental matters

Our objective is to reduce our impact on the environment, including factors contributing to climate change, through a commitment to continual improvement, complying with environmental legislation and regulations in the jurisdictions where Group companies operate to ensure that our major impacts are addressed:

Energy use (carbon emissions)

We continually seek to reduce the amount of fuel used by our fleet by the introduction of energy efficient vehicles, routing systems and improving drivers’ skills. Further we strive to reduce the electricity we use for lighting our warehouses by the use of available technologies and where possible appropriate building modifications. We only heat warehouses where necessary due to either regulations and/or cold weather conditions.

Waste

We promote reduction of waste through elimination of packaging and encourage reuse and recycling throughout our operations.
