Moving Freight the Sustainable Way

As a part of Simarco’s sustainability strategy and continuous improvement plan, we recently reviewed our UK transport strategy when moving our client’s freight from our HQ in Witham Essex, for delivery to the North of England.  

This involved the analysis of geographical data and working on a solution that could not only reduce the number of miles travelled but increase the care and control of our client’s cargo within our transport network.  

The review identified that by extending our internal network to incorporate our Stoke-on-Trent DC and reducing our number of touch points, our overall freight miles would be significantly reduced.

By re-configuring our running miles, we have been able to decrease our network mileage by 78,000 miles per annum and in turn invest and increase in our domestic fleet.

Furthermore, in line with our Science Based Targets (42% reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030), we will be able to reduce our Scope 1 emissions by 115 tCO2e annually.”
