Objective to pioneer regenerative supply chains
CHEP, one of the world’s most sustainable logistics businesses, and a pioneer of circular-economy principles, has unveiled its 2025 global Sustainability Goals, a roadmap for building regenerative supply chains that help repair damage to the planet, the company revealed in a press release.
“We will be the company delivering the supply chains the world needs for the future,” remarked Megeshni Archary, Country General Manager, CHEP MENA.
Archary said that pioneering regenerative supply chains meant breaking the link between consumption and harm to the environment and society, in order to restore, replenish and create more value for society and the environment than businesses take out.
The new 2025 global sustainability targets set by CHEP’s parent company Brambles aim to restore nature, to tackle climate change and create shared social value. The company has committed to replenishing the resources it uses and creating more positive impacts beyond its communities, for the benefit of future generations.
The CHEP sustainability strategy consists of Planet Positive, Business Positive and Communities Positive targets.
Among global Planet Positive targets are undertakings not only to ensure 100% sustainable sourcing of CHEP timber indefinitely, which the company achieved as part of its 2020 goals, but to go beyond that and allow two trees to grow for every one used for pallets – adding millions of new trees by 2030.
CHEP also has a committed to using renewable electricity across its global operations, and to becoming carbon neutral by 2025. Another of the company’s international goals is to ensure no product materials are sent to landfills and to introduce closed-loop products using 30% recycled or up-cycled plastic waste.
