Climate change is one of the biggest threats to our planet. This is why we are always looking at ways in which we can do our part to reduce CO2 emissions and move toward greater sustainability.
So, when we learnt about UPS® carbon-neutral shipping it made perfect sense for us to introduce this as our standard shipping service on all our shipments being delivered within the UK.
UPS carbon-neutral shipments mean that from the 1st of January 2022 all of our domestic shipments, delivered in the UK, will be totally carbon-neutral. This offers huge benefits to both us and our customers, improving eco-friendly credentials and supporting efforts to help preserve our planet.
UPS's carbon-neutral shipments offset the climate impact of the service, supporting projects that offset the emissions of the shipment's transport. UPS has supported projects that include reforestation, landfill gas destruction, wastewater treatment, and methane destruction. Their carbon-neutral option is verified by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), an inspection, testing, and verification company and is certified by The CarbonNeutral Company.
We’re not stopping at carbon-neutral shipments either, we’ve recently introduced a range of green smart card options and continue to look at ways to make our company more eco-friendly.
