Sustainability
Responsible Freight Forwarding and Logistics
XPand Logistics are extremely conscious of our impact on the planet and put carbon-efficient solutions at the forefront of our services. We are keen to lead by example and we’ve increased our commitment to reaching Net Zero by becoming Planet Mark certified, and offering our customers carbon offsetting for their shipments through our partnership with Pledge.
- Meeting the rising demand for sustainable supply chain choices
- Simplifying emission calculation, management & carbon offsetting for our customers
- Measuring & reducing our impact through Planet Mark certification
Green Logistics Provider
We’re keen to lead by example, especially during this crucial ‘decade of action’, and we’re thrilled to have achieved Planet Mark certification.
Planet Mark is a globally recognised sustainability accreditation. Our certification is based on our commitment to continual development in sustainability within our company operations, which includes monitoring and reducing our carbon impact.
Through this commitment to Planet Mark we contribute to the protection of vulnerable rainforest areas with Cool Earth, a charity that works with rainforest communities to stop deforestation.
Our membership of PlanetMark also supports the work of the Eden Project – an educational charity which builds connections amongst all life forms and investigates how we might work to create a better future for our planet.
There’s still lots of work to do, and we won’t relax in our efforts, but this initiative reflects our broad approach to sustainability – measuring not only environmental but also community effect.
We achieved a 18.4% reduction in carbon emissions last year, superseding our goal of 5%.
Engaging our company
Our sustainable business goals are shared by every member of our team.
Communicating our efforts
We want to continue to have a positive impact through our business and hope that we can empower our community to take climate action.
Measuring our impact
We exceeded our initial aim to reduce our carbon emissions by at least 5% per year, by reaching 18.4% last year."
Sustainability in the Logistics Industry
In partnership with Pledge, we provide a streamlined solution for our customers to measure and offset the carbon emissions of their shipments with us.
Close to 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions currently come from freight transportation, so shippers are under increasing pressure from consumers, investors and other stakeholders, to decarbonise their supply chains. That’s why we’re thrilled to have an initiative that empowers our customers to do just that.
The tool not only helps customers calculate, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint, but also gives them a competitive advantage by demonstrating their commitment to sustainability and ESG initiatives.

Since COP26, XPand Logistics made a conscious decision to invest in how we, as a supplier, are able to assist and make our customers aware of the carbon footprint of their shipping decisions. We feel it’s our responsibility to provide various options to mitigate the impact of their shipments.”
