Lower-carbon freight.

Most of a shipment's emissions are decided at booking. Here's how we plan to cut them, and a tool to compare the carbon cost of each mode.

Sustainability

Lower-carbon freight, planned in from the start.

Most of a shipment's emissions are decided at booking: the mode, how full the load is, and how far the empty trucks run. That's where we focus.

  • The right mode for the deadlineWhere timing allows, moving cargo by sea or road instead of air cuts emissions sharply. We talk you through the options when you book.
  • Fuller loadsGroupage and LCL put more cargo in each trailer and container, so fewer vehicles move the same freight.
  • Fewer empty milesWe plan collections and deliveries together across our own fleet to cut empty running.
  • Paperless customsEntries, documents and proof of delivery are handled digitally, start to finish.
  • Emissions estimates on requestAsk for an estimated CO2e figure for your shipments to support your own reporting.

Emissions estimator

Compare the carbon cost of each mode.

An indicative CO2e figure for one shipment, by mode.

Indicative only, using approximate UK Government greenhouse gas conversion factors per tonne-km (sea 0.016, rail 0.028, road 0.10, air 0.60 excluding radiative forcing). Actual emissions depend on vessel, aircraft, load and routing.
