SUPPLY CHAIN
Dan Myers We all share one planet and the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent , the results of which are of genuine concern . As a supply chain business , we represent our customers ’ Scope 3 emissions – often considered the most challenging to tackle . So , we accept the responsibility of providing our customers with support , expertise and leadership in this area . We were the first in the industry to have a dedicated lead on sustainability , a catalyst to help drive and sustain change throughout our business .
We ’ re backing up the investment in people with investments in reducing our carbon intensity and that of our customers . Around 70 % of our home delivery fleet in Ireland is carbon neutral and emissions-free thanks to a significant investment in BEVs . By the end of 2024 , we ’ ll have four certified carbon -neutral sites in the UK ; we buy 100 % Tier 1 renewable power for our sites ; we ’ ll convert around 15 million litres of diesel to HVO this year alone ; we ’ ve moved more goods to rail to reduce road emissions – the list goes on and on . We ’ re about doing the right things , not tomorrow but today .
