Health, Safety & the Environment

The Health and Safety of our couriers, staff and the public is always our first concern. We’ve received a number of awards over the last 20 years, including our recent upgrade to FORS Silver status, which demonstrate our commitment to the highest levels of health and safety.

Road Safety

 

We work with our sub-contracted couriers to ensure that they are fully aware of the importance of adherence to the law, health and safety, taking regular breaks and of good driving behaviour. This begins with a thorough vetting & induction process, within which successful sub-contractors are advised of their responsibilities, our terms of pay and conditions.

 The Environment

 

Courier Systems was the first major courier company to become carbon neutral and has developed many new environmentally friendly initiatives. In association with the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea we support improvements to our local environment. For our recent initiatives click here

The establishment and maintenance of good management practices are fundamental for the maintenance of our position as a leader within the logistics industry. We have systems in place to ensure that these are followed at all times. Click here for our CSR Report 2008

 

Corporate and Social Responsibility Policy

Courier Systems will continue assuring the sustainability of its operations while helping with broader benefits for its customers, suppliers, employees, owners, local community and the environment (mainly against climate change). The best way to do so is by enabling the correct social and environmental polices to exist and be put in practice within the company and where possible, in partnership with our suppliers and clients.  Therefore, the CSR mandate, which is originated from the Director’s commitment, is to facilitate that the company has the following policies implemented and they are kept up-to-date:

  • Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Environmental
  • Health and Safety
  • Business Ethics
  • Equal Opportunities
  • Supply Diversification
  • Sustainability
