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;
Reforestation – fScotland PDFfScond PDF
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.
Renewable energy - (Methane Capture) The Netherlands PDF
Renewable Energy - (Wind Power) Turkey PDF
Heat Recovery - India PDF
“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.”
