Carbon Neutral

All businesses can help reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. See

our case study by clicking here or to find out more about Courier

Systems Carbon Neutral status click here.

Courier Systems decided to tackle this in partnership with The

CarbonNeutral Company whose processes and projects are audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers giving both transparency and creditability.

With the assistance of the Edinburgh Center for Carbon Managment, the

leading independent body, we calculated our CO2 emissions including

all courier movements by our fleet and at the Courier Systems London

control center.

To lower these emissions we have implemented projects to minimise

our carbon footprint, introducing LPG vehicles, reducing waste and

increasing recycling at our offices.  

To offset unavoidable emissions we use projects from The CarbonNeutral

Company. For every tonne of CO2 produced by Courier Systems, these

projects will offset or save a tonne of CO2 somewhere else in the world.

 

The following projects were chosen in 2007 via a tender process;

Energy Efficiency – Carribean PDF

Renewable Energy – (Methane capture) Germany PDF

Renewable Energy – (Wind Power) New Zealand PDF

In 2008 the following projects were added as part of our ongoing

comittment to fight climate change.

“Global warming is a serious issue for us all, we have taken the lead by

ensuring that all Courier Systems operations are CarbonNeutral and that emissions are reduced in future. We believe that our clients and others

will follow this lead which can only be good for the environment and

therefore, all our futures.”
