This is achieved in the first instance by understanding our customers’ requirements and designing sustainability into the solutions we propose. Subsequent to start-up, each operation within Wincanton is covered by a sustainability plan which contains a realistic list of environmental projects that will deliver continuous improvements towards our customers' goals and, through alignment, our own.
We will present costed net-zero propositions to our customers as part of an evolving roadmap of net-zero solutions which consider alternative fuels, renewable energy, electrification, energy, fuel, and network planning efficiency, packaging and waste, and authentic carbon offsetting where appropriate.
Our primary goal is that we will achieve net-zero carbon by 2040. We will do this through incremental improvements in network efficiency and vehicle fuel efficiency and electrification of our lighter vehicle fleets from now until 2030. 2030 to 2040 will see a more dramatic decline in carbon emissions as new technologies such as battery electric technologies and infrastructure mature, commercial viability improves and customer demand for these solutions increases.
