CSR Strategy
We fully recognise and embrace our responsibility to the communities where we conduct our operations. It is our commitment to consistently strive to minimise any negative impact we may have. Additionally, we are dedicated to making meaningful contributions that foster positive change for the future, ensuring that our presence benefits those around us.
We break our CSR Strategy down into 4 main areas
Social Impact
As an employer of 100+ people, as well as having a self-employed courier fleet of hundreds, we understand that we have a duty to affect, respect and give back to our surrounding communities.
We do this in 4 main ways:
– Backing local, minority-owned businesses where feasible
– Reducing our environmental impact in the areas that we operate
– Giving back to local communities, through charitable and community donations
– Employing and empowering local people in all aspects of our business

– Age
The company shall appoint, train, develop and promote on the basis of merit and ability.
Inclusion
As well as ensuring we have a diverse workforce, we also have a responsibility to ensure that we offer an inclusive and productive environment for our staff to operate in.

We want our staff to be comfortable and happy and provide an environment to allow them to succeed and flourish
