At Chain Drives, we are committed to protecting the environment and continuously reducing the impact of our operations. By embedding sustainable practices into our policies and procedures, we not only contribute to a healthier planet but also improve efficiency and resilience across our business.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
We are dedicated to minimising our carbon footprint through:
Driving efficiencies and energy savings in our daily operations and production activities.
Applying environmentally responsible principles to all business decisions.
Staying fully compliant with both national and international environmental legislation.
Participating in workplace initiatives that actively lower our carbon emissions.
Improving Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is central to our sustainability strategy. We focus on:
Installing and using energy-saving lighting across our facilities.
Placing equipment into sleep and standby modes wherever possible.
Managing our distribution network in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible way.
Lowering Fuel Usage & Greener Transport
Transportation has a significant environmental impact, which is why we are committed to:
Using overnight deliveries wherever possible to reduce fuel consumption.
Working closely with suppliers to find mutual efficiencies in logistics.
Encouraging the use of low-emission company vehicles.
Minimising unnecessary journeys between branches.
Supporting home working, car sharing, and public transport for staff.
Waste Reduction & Recycling
We take a proactive approach to waste management and packaging reduction:
🎯 Achieved a 30% reduction in landfill waste over the past three years.
Re-use pallets and recycle cardboard boxes for internal and external deliveries.
Have never purchased new cardboard or wooden boxes for shipping since the company began. All packaging from suppliers is reused to send items to customers.
This approach not only minimises waste but also supports a circular economy by extending the life cycle of packaging materials.
Our Ongoing Environmental Goals
Further reduce our carbon footprint through innovation and energy efficiency.
Continue to divert more waste away from landfill.
Strengthen collaboration with suppliers and customers to promote sustainable practices.
Ensure all future business growth aligns with responsible environmental stewardship.
