Environmental Sustainability Initiatives Across the Network
Sustainability is central to how we operate at Speedy Freight. Key initiatives include:
- Environmental Champions Initiative: Promoting eco-friendly practices across our network, including reusable cups, office recycling, energy conservation, and sustainable working practices.
- Electric Vehicles and Carbon Reporting: Many franchisees have adopted electric vehicles and provide clients with carbon emission reports, showing transparency and environmental responsibility.
- ISO 14001:2015 Certification: Confirms our adherence to best practice in environmental management systems.
- Carbon Neutral Business: We've been re-certified as a Carbon Neutral Business for the third consecutive year in partnership with Carbon Neutral Britain, supporting global projects focused on education, employment, and access to clean water.
- Routes for Roots Campaign: In partnership with the Earth Restoration Service, this initiative has funded wildflower meadows and tree nurseries in over 30 local schools. Franchisees actively join planting events with schoolchildren and community members, promoting environmental education, biodiversity, and local engagement.
These initiatives help us balance operational growth with environmental and social responsibility.
About the Sustainability of the Year Award
Following the publication of the EF100 specialist award categories, the Sustainability of the Year Award was introduced to recognise outstanding environmental and social impact within the franchise sector. Established in 2017, the EF100 Awards celebrate innovation, performance, and impact across UK franchising.
The Sustainability of the Year Award honours franchises that deliver measurable environmental and social outcomes while maintaining commercial success. Being shortlisted confirms that Speedy Freight is leading the way in responsible franchise operations.
Looking Ahead
We're proud to be recognised as a finalist for the Sustainability of the Year Award. Our focus remains on supporting our franchisees, reducing our carbon footprint, delivering positive impact across communities, and promoting sustainable practices nationwide.
