Carbon Footprint Reduction Success

We are super happy that in 2024 we were able to significantly increase our understanding of how to accurately calculate our Carbon Footprint. This has been achieved by the release of better publications and mechanisms allowing us to include waste in our carbon footprint for the first time.

With this knowledge we have subsequently been able to revise our previously published carbon footprints, to now be inclusive of waste.

For the first time we have also been able to capture some downstream data. As we work to increase our ability to capture both downstream and upstream data, this will inevitably push our carbon footprint higher. With this knowledge we have been able to undertake a harmonisation adjustment to our previous published figures, to allow a true comparison of 2024 to previous years.

Adjusted figures for the previous two year are:

2022 = 17.128 per m2                    2023 = 11.809 per m2

Whilst our carbon emissions remain relatively unchanged in comparison to 2023, due to Government Factoring Mechanisms being changed in 2024, it appears that our carbon footprint has significantly reduced, at 5.03 per m2.

We continue to work towards Net Zero by 2035

📝 Annual ISO Audit Success – Excellence in Every Detail

In June, we welcomed ISO auditor Marvin Rotermund, from MMC Business Management Consultants Ltd, for our annual audit, a key milestone in our commitment to quality, consistency, and continuous improvement. Marvin conducted a thorough inspection covering both practical and physical operations, as well as administrative and documentation areas. We’re proud to announce that we passed with flying colours once again! 🎉 Only a couple of minor points were raised — clear evidence of our team’s dedication to aligning every aspect of our work with ISO standards.
As we do each year, we continue to find “everything ISO in all we do” — from daily procedures to long-term strategy. It’s this culture of excellence that ensures we remain steadfast in delivering high-quality results across the board.

👏 A huge thank you to everyone involved in maintaining our standards and making this success possible. Onward and upward!

Celebrating 20 Years of C W Logistics Ltd

In the blink of an eye, it’s been 20 years since C W Logistics Ltd was founded by myself and Andrew Williams, with the support of Chris and Kevin Burrows. A few years later Jon Wright joined us, completing the team that has been the backbone of our business ever since.

Together, the five of us have navigated the many ups and downs that come with our industry. We’ve weathered challenging times, adapted to change, and emerged stronger, but always with that same initial goal: not to be just a transactional logistics provider, but to establish true working partnerships with our clients.

We owe a huge thank you to all our employees, past and present, whose hard work and dedication have shaped who we are today. And of course, to our loyal customers and suppliers—thank you for being part of our journey so far. Your continued support means the world to us.

So, to mark this milestone, we thought the time was right to refresh our look a bit. Our original logo, designed by Andrew’s sister all those years ago (and who we’re not entirely sure we ever paid her for!), has served us well, but it’s time for something new. We think the update reflects not only the core ethos we have held for the last 20 years but also our commitment for the future.

Here’s to the next 20 years!!

Carnival Collaboration

The Target Shootout Competition was a big hit with kids and adults alike, at the Diss Carnival on Sunday 16th June. Diss Town Youth Football Club & CW Logistics Ltd (who sponsor the club), ran the competition, where club coaches were kept busy organising the players and running round after footballs. The competition increased awareness of the club, grass roots football and raised much needed funds for the club. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

Gold Award Success for CW Logistics Ltd

This morning we heard that we have achieved the GOLD award for the Suffolk Carbon Charter. As a business we have worked hard to find new and better ways to reduce our emissions over the last two years and we are extremely proud to have met the criteria required to get GOLD.
We are also working with our customers to help them reduce their emissions and are encouraging them to apply for the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Accreditation and their Carbon Charter Awards. Both of these accreditations have helped us create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly workplace.

Well done to everyone who works at C W Logistics Ltd for helping us to achieve this.

✔️ Replaced fluorescent lighting to a reduced number of LED sensor & emergency lights in 2 warehouses, warehouse canteen / office.

✔️ Changed our shrink wrap to one containing 30% recycled plastic which has a better stretch capacity so we use less.

✔️ Replaced two diesel/petrol company cars with fully electric models.

✔️ Replaced further warehouse trucks with electric models.

✔️ Reduced our general waste and nothing goes to landfill, being incinerated to produce electricity (click here to find out more).

Our Carbon Reduction Action Plan for 2023 is in full swing and we hope to exceed our target again this year (click here to find out more)

Carbon Reduction Action Plan Update 2023

As part of our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint we produce an annual Carbon Reduction Plan. We have recently updated this to include further investment in LED sensor lighting in another of our warehouses and replaced the office lighting with a reduced number of LED lights. Further replacements are being considered in the coming months.

We are continuing to research ways to reduce waste within the business and our composter is being filled with the many tea bags we get through! We recycle as much packaging as we can and regularly research suppliers for greener solutions.
