Palletline is stepping up its sustainability efforts after partnering with carbon management experts Auditel.

The two businesses said they had developed “a robust methodology” to measure the pallet firm’s carbon impact, with the ultimate aim of making all its hubs and 96-member network net carbon neutral.

Palletline said it had already reduced its carbon emissions by 20-25% at its central hub.

The partnership with Auditel will enable it to map its entire network’s energy use, pinpointing areas for further improvement and implementing decarbonisation strategies.

Carbon footprint analysis is already underway for many network members which includes data collection across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and will help Palletline to calculate the individual CO2 footprint for every pallet handled throughout its network.

Harpreet Sohal, Palletline’s director of business information, said: “Palletline has always been environmentally conscious and we are committed to improving our sustainability now and for the future.

“Our partnership with Auditel provides the expertise and integrity needed to scale our sustainability efforts.

“By working together and undertaking our data capturing processes and measurements it will provide a clear strategy in helping us to improve our carbon footprint and drive down our emissions, further reinforcing our market leading position.”
