Building a Sustainable Future
Since our launch in 2016, Green Fulfilment has been dedicated to minimising our environmental impact across our business and empowering our clients to do the same. We believe in building a sustainable future, today, through ongoing investments in innovative solutions.
Here’s how we’re making a difference:
- Reducing Our Footprint: We continuously review our processes and implement initiatives like paperless reporting, energy-efficient lighting, and responsible waste management (including recycling plastics, cardboard, and paper shredding).
- Empowering Sustainable Choices: We partner with clients to reduce their environmental impact. For example, in 2020, we helped them eliminate 1 million sheets of paper by encouraging the use of digital dispatch notes.
- Investing in Green Packaging: We prioritize eco-friendly, recyclable packaging materials and optimize box sizes to minimize the carbon footprint of deliveries.
This is just the beginning of our sustainability journey. We’re constantly seeking new ways to reduce our environmental impact and are committed to:
- Transitioning to Renewable Energy: We’re actively exploring switching to renewable energy sources.
- Carbon Offsetting and Net Zero: We’re working towards offsetting our current carbon footprint and becoming a carbon-neutral company.
- Return Packaging Partnerships: We’re developing programs to minimize packaging waste and offer benefits to our customers.
