Our approach

Climate. Route optimisation software across the fleet; driver eco-training; tyre-pressure programme. Target: cut Scope 1 and 2 by 30% by 2030 from 2024.

Environment. Oil and tyre recycling contracts; spill kits at every depot.

Our people. Driver fatigue rules, annual safety training, medical checks for drivers.

Business conduct. Code of conduct and anti-bribery policy signed by all managers.

Scope of this report. B4 pollution: no permit-based reporting obligation.

Change from 2024

Total emissions fell from 3,118.3 to 2,918.7 t CO2e (6.4%). Both years are calculated with the same factors, so the change reflects activity, not method.
