Brambles close to 100% sustainable wood for pallets

Carbon savings were achieved by replacing single-use or one-way packaging with reusable alternatives that are shared, repaired and reused throughout the supply chain. The Sustainability Review also highlighted how customer collaboration programmes have helped the company to make significant reductions in packaging waste, carbon emissions, and empty kilometres.

Brambles communicated its 2020 sustainability commitments back in 2015 and the issues the programme addressed, such as sustainable forestry and eliminating waste from supply chains, are now more important for its stakeholders than ever before. As the company enters the final year of its 2020 goals period, it edges closer to attaining 100% sustainable materials sourcing for wood, achieving 99.7% (up from 99.4 in FY18).

In addition, 60% of the electricity powering Brambles’ Service Centres was from certified renewable energy sources, representing a 34% increase on 2018 and making its already low carbon solutions even more sustainable. 

The company is in the process of setting a new sustainability horizon.
