What we’re actually doing
Sustainability here isn’t a page on a website — it’s fuel in the tanks and targets on the wall.
HVO renewable fuel
20% HVO use achieved by 2025, on the road to 80% by 2028 and 100% by 2029 — cutting well-to-wheel emissions across the fleet.
822 tonnes CO₂e offset
In 2024 we offset 822 tonnes of CO₂e through Shell-certified carbon credits, alongside — not instead of — real reductions.
Euro VI fleet
A modern, Euro VI-compliant fleet with anti-idling and quiet-delivery policies, load-optimisation software and telematics on every vehicle.
Measured, not guessed
Fuel and emissions tracked through UK Fuels, Webfleet and Volvo Connect — with data shared with clients in quarterly reviews.
Electric handling
Diesel forklifts being replaced with electric by 2026, plus energy-efficiency measures across the depot.
Waste sorted
Plastic, metal and wood recycled through certified waste streams — sorted internally, disposed of responsibly.
The rest of ESG, done properly
Labour & human rights — 85/100
Equal opportunities, fair working hours and full benefits, comprehensive health & safety, freedom to join a union, a strict anti-slavery policy and confidential whistleblower protection.
Ethics — 85/100
A formal code of conduct, zero tolerance of bribery and facilitation payments, conflict-of-interest disclosure, GDPR-compliant data protection and ethics training from day one.
your audits, made easier
If your business needs approved, audited suppliers, our EcoVadis Gold rating does the heavy lifting: faster supplier approval, alignment with responsible-procurement requirements, and quarterly emissions data to support your Scope 3 reporting.
EcoVadis questions, answered
What is EcoVadis?
EcoVadis is the world’s most widely used independent sustainability rating agency. It assesses companies across environment, labour & human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, and its scorecards are used by procurement teams worldwide to vet suppliers.
What does a Gold medal mean?
Gold is awarded to companies in the top 5% of all those assessed. Courier Express scored 80/100 overall — the 96th percentile — in December 2025.
How does this help my company’s reporting?
We track fuel and emissions through UK Fuels, Webfleet and Volvo Connect, and share that data with clients in quarterly reviews — practical support for your Scope 3 emissions reporting and supplier audits.
Can we see the scorecard?
Yes — we’re happy to share our EcoVadis scorecard with customers and prospective customers on request. It’s valid until 18 December 2026.
Is your fleet actually lower-emission, or is it just offsets?
Both, in the right order: a Euro VI fleet moving to HVO renewable fuel (100% by 2029) reduces emissions at source, and Shell-certified carbon credits offset what remains — 822 tonnes of CO₂e in 2024.
