Sustainability

Steps we have taken so far include:

• Completion of a Carbon Reduction Plan detailing the steps we’re taking to significantly reduce our carbon footprint, align with global climate goals, and transition towards net-zero emissions. View our Carbon Reduction Plan here.
• Investment in our site in areas of recycling and sustainable energy solutions in advance of our ‘zero to landfill’ ambitions and in line with our ‘switch it off’ policy.
• Continuous improvement of our fleet management, undergoing regular reviews for vehicle efficiency, delivery reductions and driver training.
• Embedding sustainability across our internal teams with a Sustainability Champion acting on behalf of each of their areas to help drive change and promote best practice across ESPO.
• We have signed up a brand-new initiative called Treefo, as part of our ongoing relationship with Feefo, which helps turn customer feedback into forests. Our subscription to Treefo means that every time customers leave us a review, we help fund a tree-planting project. This new service helps ESPO and our customers do more for the planet and work towards our ongoing sustainability goals. You can find out more here.

Our sustainability ambitions are far-reaching and ongoing.

We will update this information as we continue to work with our stakeholders.

Frameworks for sustainability

As we strive towards net zero, there are so many ways in which we can make small changes that will go on to make a big difference. At ESPO, we understand our responsibility to help the global drive towards a greener, more sustainable future, and so we have collated a group of our most popular frameworks for the public sector to support your organisation's goals and procurement process.
