Woodland Group said it was on course to be running a 100% electric material handling fleet in its warehousing operations by 2027, with only the remaining 6% now running on fossil fuels.
In 2025, its logistics arm relied on more than 500,000 litres of HVO fuel to power its road freight vehicles and it pressed ahead with battery-electric HGV trials to monitor their feasibility.
Woodland Group added that annual energy use generated 56% fewer electricity-related emissions than its 2022 baseline and it retained its EcoVadis Gold medal for the third consecutive year, placing the group in the top 3% of companies assessed worldwide.
Its latest sustainability report said the focus in 2026 was on accelerating the transition to renewable energy and fully electric or low carbon fuel material handling, as well as decarbonising its fleet.
“Our 2025 report reflects the continued investment we’re making in a cleaner, more transparent supply chain – for our customers, our people, and the wider industry,” said Kevin Stevens, chairman and CEO of Woodland Group.
“As regulation and customer expectations continue to rise, we’re committed to leading from the front, and to helping our partners meet their own sustainability goals.”
