Our new modern warehouse’s energy is mainly provided by solar panels and combined with its insulation properties enables us to reduce our overall CO2 emissions. The offices are fitted with floor to ceiling windows allowing us to use natural light as much as possible. Where required we use energy efficient bulbs throughout the building with motion sensors so when a room is not in use the lights automatically turn off.
Our food delivery miles are kept to a minimum due to our carefully planned delivery routes. Our vans comply with Euro 6 ratings, reducing emissions substantially. Our company cars have stop-start technology, which means emissions are below 100g/km making them exempt from road tax and congestion charging.
We use AdBlue in all of our fleet which is checked daily. The fuel consumption of each vehicle is recorded via a tracking device which also measures speed and internal temperatures. This data helps us improve fuel consumption and we are currently researching the possibility of producing our own biofuel by collecting used vegetable oil from our customers to recycle. In the future, we plan to replace all of our vans with electric vehicles.
Our environmental strategy is reviewed regularly which all of our staff are fully trained on. We operate the government ride-to-work and car share scheme. Laptops and phones are provided so staff are able to work from home at times to reduce travel and we are located just a 10-minute walk from Uxbridge station which encourages our staff to use public transport where possible.
