Our environmental policy has three main strands:

People
We ensure that our colleagues are fully trained and commited to best environmental practice including fuel-efficient driver training.

Operation
Our business model is based on meeting and exceeding strict targets for operational efficiency.  These targets include such areas as increasing load factors and reducing empty running.  These measures aim to reduce the carbon footprint per unit of product delivered.

Technology
Our vehicle replacement policy constantly challenges vehicle manufacturers to deliver new products that minimise harmful emissions.  In addition, we are constantly striving to reduce the impact of our warehousing operation.

We will continue to work with our customers and other stakeholders such as The Carbon Trust to review our policies in line with the latest developments in this key area.
