Our Sustainability Journey.
Committed to reducing our environmental impact.
CCL Techlogix Group is the UK's leading independent, Managed 4PL, providing value added logistics solutions and supply chain technology to scaling SMEs and Enterprise companies.
Our Environmental Journey
Over the years we have always acted to implement environmentally friendly practices in our workplace. In 2009 we gained the ISO14001 Global Environmental Management Standard and continually look to reduce our CO2e.
As a Managed 4PL we are carrier agnostic and deliberately don't own any of our vehicles to move goods however, we have always recognised that as a service business we can still tale steps to reduce and manage our CO2e.
CCL initiatives include upgrading our fleet of company cars to electric, with charging points at our Troon and Derby offices. We also monitor and report the CO2e of hotel stays, business mileage and travel. We've implemented recycling in all of our offices and where possible our lighting has been changed to LED and continue to proactively source suppliers and products with the least environmental impact. Our people can take advantage of the cycle to work scheme and we keep them engaged about environmental information with a quarterly environmental email.
As well as tangible changes we have also joined multiple communities, including CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) and Sedex.
In 2023 John Murray joined as Head of Sustainability, his focus was to gain GLEC certification for Greener Routes, our Carbon Tracking Solution.
This is all underpinned by our environmental policy.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries in a global partnership. We are aligned with four of the UN SDGs where we believe we can make the biggest positive contributions.
Our Carbon Footprint
We calculate our carbon footprint using DESNZ emission factors and the GHG Protocol to measure Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. This ensures our reporting is consistent, transparent and aligned with recognised international best practice.
Since our 2022 baseline year, we have reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 48%, surpassing our SBTi target of a 42% reduction by 2030. Including Scope 3 emissions, our total carbon footprint has reduced by 36%.
To maintain transparency and accountability, we disclose our environmental performance through CDP reporting, monitor progress against our SBTi-aligned targets, and continue to refine our emissions measurement approach as data quality and reporting standards evolve.
Our Achievements
Achieved ISO 14001
We have always strived to make sustainable choices as it's one of our core values and in 2009 we achieved ISO14001. The purpose of this set of standards put forward by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is to clarify the best practices for organisations that wish to reduce their environmental footprint.
Our Journey with Science-Based Climate Targets
We are committed to setting carbon reduction targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
Our Targets
We aimed to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, while also measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions. We have surpassed this goal and continue to make improvements year on year.
CDP Score
In the annual CDP assessment which measures how well we are performing sustainability wise with a strong focus on carbon we scored a C this year. When we first started in 2022, we scored a D.
CDP evaluates organisations engagement with their suppliers on climate change and aims to accelerate global action on supply chain emissions.
