The process so far

Sustainability remains a key priority for APG with our journey starting in 2018. So far we have liaised with our customers and suppliers to establish key sustainability trends. This allowed us to set targets to ensure we work towards reducing our overall carbon footprint, as well as informing and educating our global network.
From data collection, to engaging with our network, this process has given us a greater understanding of what it means to become sustainable and what more we can do to continue our progress.

Our next steps…

Since our sustainability journey began, APG have been able to see progress and better understand the drivers behind the impacts on the environment. We are now working to drive further improvements across our global network.

Communicate & Engage

APG will actively continue to communicate with our global network about the impact of CO2 emissions from different delivery routes. We aim to influence greener choices for our entire network worldwide.

We will continue to engage with existing carriers on their sustainability performance by highlighting areas of improvement they could focus on in the future.

Reflect

As our company carbon footprint is a key focus within APG, we must continue to reflect on the direction of future sustainability strategy. Ongoing conversations with customers and suppliers will enable APG to continue to work towards a more sustainable future.
