Delivering a
Sustainable Future

Sustainable
Practices. Now.

We strive to provide world-class supply chain and logistics services that don’t just reduce our footprint – they deliver environmental benefits throughout the value chain. It's been an ambitious decades-long journey to pioneer solutions that deliver a net zero future for us and our customers. We are investing in next-generation alternative fuels, optimizing our network and promoting a circular economy.

Net Zero by 2040

As a world logistics leader, we must do our part to reverse climate change. We are proud that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved our net zero climate targets. These goals include reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 51.8% by 2030. We have also committed to reducing absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and downstream transportation and distribution by 30% within the same timeframe. Martin Brower UK & Ireland have further committed to reaching net zero by 2040 as a further acceleration of progress.

Our Global
Priorities

Reaching these targets requires changes across our entire business, including fleet and facility, increasing alternative fuels and renewable energy, plus optimizing for fewer miles on the road while maintaining resilience.

Resilient
Distribution
Centers

We create adaptable distribution centers that foster resilience by supporting renewable and efficient energy use while addressing climate risks and energy shocks.

Fleet of the
Future

We’re creating the fleet of the future with the next generation of electric- and biofuel-driven vehicles. We're deploying pilot programs in every major market and scaling quickly on solutions that meet our customers’ needs.

Circular Waste
Solutions

We leverage reverse logistics to create waste solutions that maximize value and a circular economy. To achieve these targets, we will continue to maintain zero waste to landfill in our DCs – we are proud to divert 97% of waste. We operate as tower control – helping our customers identify ways that waste streams can avoid the landfill, support vendor management, maximize value and identifying circular economy opportunities.
