Pathfinder International
Carbon Footprint Mission Statement

As a company we are continuously striving to develop and work with our customers and suppliers with the aim to achieve a cleaner environment and lessen our carbon footprint where we can.

As a mission statement, we hold the following values and invite our customers and suppliers to work towards these goals:

 1. Provide efficient workspace, using latest technology to provide a clear and concise picture.

2. Our company cars are electric as we believe we should lead by example.

3. One of our shareholders works in the development of renewable energy which gives us leading advantages into potential future undertakings.

4. We encourage our suppliers to provide CO2 Tracking where possible and allow us to retrieve this data/information to feedback to our customers.

5. We encourage the use of EV vans for short route distributions, and we are exploring the potentials for longer routes, with EV, Bio-Gas and Solar powered.

6. We believe innovation, adaptation and implementation are key in the movement to a more sustainable environment.

7. We encourage working from home, maximising time spent working rather than commuting. We believe an efficient and relaxed workspace is directly linked to high productivity.

8. All company cars are provided with home charging points, this is to keep the costs of charging cars down.

9. We believe that space on our vehicles should be used efficiently, maximising the space available and lessening the number of transports required.

10. We believe utilising vehicles on a reload basis (also known as back loads) therefore minimising the distance between offload and reload. We strongly discourage empty running of vehicles where possible.

11. Believe recycling should be a priority on all our suppliers’ agenda, looking to reuse pallets and packaging where possible. Have a clean warehouse policy whereby all staff are encouraged to use recycling points.

12. We require all vehicles to be always parked securely, that they are kept in good condition, clean and devoid of any smells. A properly maintained vehicle will have a longer life span and lessen the impact on the environment.

13. We look to provide shortest transport routes to destinations, looking at the most cost-effective way to deliver to our customers whilst always factoring in the carbon footprint impact.

14. We acknowledge whilst there are continual requirements to provide a cost driven transport system, we accept that this industry has one of the highest CO2 impacts in the supply chain, we will therefore strive to look for better ways in delivering a high end, cleaner service to our customers.

15. We undertake to revisit regularly our mission statement, update and keep our customers informed.
