Sustainability
Always Invested in a Greener Future
Solar Panels
We've partnered with South East Solar, a Rochester-based installation company, to install solar panels on our premises. Given the significant energy consumption of our refrigeration units, integrating solar panels onto our roof emerged as an ideal strategy to mitigate our CO2 emissions.
With 270 large solar panels for our new unit, we anticipate remarkable results. Annually, this is projected to reduce our CO2 emissions by an impressive 68,667 kilograms, equivalent to the energy used by 5,000 households for a year.

Planting a Tree with Every Vehicle Purchased
Every time we buy an IVECO vehicle from our local Maidstone-based supplier Haynes Trucks, The Future Forest Company plants a tree. The Future Forest company aims to remove 1 million tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere by 2030 and the trees planted will play a crucial role in filtering pollutants and improving air quality. Additionally, our company prioritises sustainability by utilising hybrid electric cars for our field sales team and directors.
Reducing Energy Consumption with Advanced Light Sensor Technology
The addition of light sensors in our depot enhances operational efficiency by intelligently adjusting lighting based on conditions and occupancy. This optimises energy usage, reducing costs and promoting sustainability.
Reducing Waste and Making a Difference
We contribute food items with minor packaging imperfections that are still safe for consumption, alongside products nearing their expiration date, to FareShare, who then distributes these donations to various charities to help provide meals and supplies for those in need.
Promoting a Greener Commute
Our Cycle-to-Work Program promotes eco-friendly commuting, providing easy access to bicycles to reduce carbon emissions. This initiative not only encourages physical activity but also fosters a healthier lifestyle, contributing to a workplace culture that values sustainability and personal well-being.
