Environment

DPD follows an environmental policy and measures its success in six key areas – CO2 emissions, waste, paper, recycled paper, energy consumption of buildings and work accidents. Examples of our ‘going green’ initiatives include:

  • running the industry’s largest fleet of ‘double-deck’ trailers, 300 vehicles that carry one third more parcels than standard trailers used by other express delivery companies in the UK
  • using innovative re-usable packaging, such as the ‘Swapit’ tote box instead of cardboard
  • pioneering the use of solar panels on trailers to reduce energy consumption
  • using SMS technology to find out if recipients are available to sign for goods and so achieving more ‘right first time’ home deliveries rather than making wasted journeys
  • recycling paper, aluminium cans, toner cartridges and mobile phones
  • working with schools to reduce their environmental impact
