Our Steps To Net-Zero: Investing In Our Future
At eCourier, we’re not just about delivering packages; we’re about delivering a sustainable future. We understand the urgency of addressing climate change, and we’re committed to doing our part. That’s why we’ve set an ambitious goal: achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
Measuring Our Impact
We believe in transparency and accountability. That’s why we meticulously measure our carbon footprint using the globally recognised GHG Emissions Protocol Standard. This includes all aspects of our operations; from the fuel our vehicles use (Scope 1) and the electricity powering our offices (Scope 2) to the emissions generated by our suppliers (upstream Scope 3). We’re proud to partner with Positive Planet, who support us in this critical measurement process.
Bold Targets for a Brighter Future
Our commitment goes beyond measurement. We’ve set clear, science-based targets to drastically reduce our emissions by 2030, using 2023 as our baseline:
-
Scope 1 Emissions: We’re aiming for a 42% reduction.
-
Scope 2 Emissions: Our goal is to eliminate these entirely.
-
Scope 3 Emissions: We’re targeting a 42% reduction.
Our Journey To Net Zero
We’re already taking concrete steps to achieve these targets:
- Electrifying Our Fleet: 23% of our vehicles are now electric, and we’re continuously adding more electric bikes and vans to our fleet.
- Embracing Cargo Bikes: We’ve expanded our cargo bike fleet, a sustainable and efficient solution for urban deliveries.
- Reducing Our Paper Footprint: We’ve minimised printing and transitioned to digital documents wherever possible.
Areas for Growth
We acknowledge that there are areas where we need to improve. Currently, we exclude certain emissions categories (such as waste and end-of-life treatment of sold products). Due to data limitations. However, we’re committed to enhancing our tracking capabilities through digitalisation.
Building a Sustainable Culture
Sustainability isn’t just a strategy; it’s a core value at eCourier.
- Empowering Our Workforce: By 2025, all our employees will be certified as Carbon Literate, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to contribute to our sustainability
- Sustainable Travel Policy: We’re implementing a Sustainable Travel Policy by 2025 to minimise emissions from business travel and commuting.
Looking Ahead
We’re constantly exploring new ways to reduce our environmental impact. Our future plans include:
- Enhanced emissions tracking.
- Digitalisation of our accounting systems.
- Targeted strategies to reduce transportation and distribution emissions.
