Committed to doing the right thing.

Delivering social responsibility to keep our communities thriving.

For everyone. For the future.

 

For us, creating and delivering an effective and innovative CSR programme is a top priority. So we've established a bold, clear strategy, complete with the objectives that we’re all working towards. As such, we are proud to announce that we have delivered on our first headline target 18 months ahead of schedule, achieving carbon neutral status by offsetting our carbon emissions across the company for Q1 2022.

By the end of 2022 we will also achieve the following target:

 
  • Have a fleet of 200+ green vehicles that will be live in the major cities throughout the UK.
 


The pillars that guide us

 
To realise our aims, we’ve created a structure built on four pillars - they are the foundations for our CSR programme. Each pillar is a fundamental element of what we do: the teams behind our brand, the communities we work in, the courier and business community who work with us, and our total commitment to a sustainable, greener future.
   

Award-winning CSR initiative

We are a proud gold awards winner of the 'Best CSR Initiative' award at the UK Business Awards 2022.


The awards programme honours and recognises businesses, teams, and individuals that have created outstanding business initiatives. 

Our extensive CSR programme focuses on the training and development of employees, aiding small businesses and charitable groups in the community, as well as doing our part to lessen the environmental impact of our operations.

Creating a better future for us all

These are the four core pillars of our CSR programme that outline the steps we're taking to deliver on our commitment.

Certified carbon neutral

We are working in partnership with Carbon Neutral Britain to offset all carbon emissions from our company operations every quarter, over the next 2 years. Rather than just measuring and reducing emissions, we are taking a proactive approach to invest in carbon emissions offsetting programs.

In May 2022 we offset the total carbon footprint of our operations (scope 1, 2 and 3) from the period of 1st January 2022 – 31st March 2022 to become certified as Carbon Neutral Company for a period of 3 months. Our emissions have been offset through four Certified Emissions Reductions (CER) offsetting projects.
