Our ambitious targets for 2025 include achieving carbon neutrality in our operations and drastically reducing our Scope 3 emissions.

Partnerships & Collaboration

We collaborate with industry leaders and policymakers to advance sustainable logistics practices, ensuring that we are part of a global solution to environmental challenges.

Environmental & Sustainability Policy

Stage 1 – Measure

FLS released our emissions manager product in June 2024 which provides GLEC accredited emission data for all loads carried by FLS. We were recognized as one of the first logistics providers to adopt the GLEC framework for carbon emission calculation, and we continue to set the industry benchmark for environmental responsibility. The emission manager product was developed with the support of Welsh government – Read more here: Logistics company cutting carbon emissions with pioneering software | Welsh Government News 

Data is available from single load notifications to a carbon dashboard with detailed analytics of carbon usage. Triwall has the detailed view of emission data from our emissions manager product for all goods moved by FLS which is available with live date within the Triwall connect portal. Snippet below and maybe something as a project to consider for the direct fleet run for Triwall to get the full overview.

Stage 2 – Efficiencies

FLS Leverage our scaled supply chain with FLS technology to target vehicle and route optimisation and specifically combat empty mileage which is currently at 30% of all road freight vehicles being driven empty:

This continued targeted approach has immediate impact to driving down carbon emission, which is why FLS has won accolades for the technology and data approach towards road logistics. You can see this impact specifically for Triwall with the data from emission manager highlighting a saving of 9,136kg of CO2e already this year

Stage 3. Fuel Solutions

FLS supporting the increase of availability and choice of Electric vehicles options and alternative fuel including HVO and Biomethane for our customers to create further carbon efficiency gains. This is the stage that we are at with Triwall but while stage 1 and 2 are part of the contractual pricing and SLA, this requires further consideration in regard to availability, transit (Distance), and cost.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward in 2025, FLS group is dedicated to not only maintaining but enhancing our role as leaders in sustainable logistics. We are committed to exploring innovative ways to further reduce our environmental impact and improve the services we offer.
