We are a company with a conscience
We might be big, but we still have a conscience. We take our responsibilities seriously and focus our efforts on three main areas: Environment, People and Giving Back.
We’re committed to running our business in a responsible way as we continue to develop our corporate social responsibility practices to support our employees, customers and the environment now and in the future.
Environment
As the UK’s leading logistics supply chain partner, we operate in a socially responsible and sustainable manner. Planning for the long-term is something that has become second nature to us, so we understand why protecting the environment is such an important issue.
Incorporating sustainability into our overall business strategy ensures all our key decisions are made understanding the wider impact on the environment. Delivering ‘Sustainable Solutions’ runs throughout our business, where green initiatives are investigated and delivered throughout our existing and any potential new sites.
Our Senior Leadership Team drives our Sustainability Agenda from the top, supported by a team of dedicated specialists that solely focus on sustainability initiatives. Once we have identified a green initiative, we work closely with our customers to support the implementation, demonstrating the benefits expected and tracking their performance.
We operate the UKs largest dynamic shared user transport network which achieves 85% loaded miles, versus the industry average of 72%, which means that our carbon emissions are already 10% lower than the rest of the logistics sector.
People
Without our people we are nothing. Without our 6,500 colleagues, we cannot provide the level of service our clients expect.
Stobart is a great place to work and we actively encourage our employees to be the best in everything they do, focusing on safety, wellbeing and diversity. We continue to inspire our employees to find ways of meeting our environmental, social and economic responsibilities in everything they do.
We value diversity – ensuring we provide equality of opportunity – and we recruit and promote based on merit.
We run an honest, open, and fair business and provide our colleagues with opportunities to develop their abilities. We believe that hard work and talent determines progression and we’re extremely proud of our thriving and positive working environment, where diversity is embraced.
Our respect for our people extends to our clients and suppliers and we always look to form mutually beneficial partnerships, where both companies work together long-term enabling each to grow and prosper.
Giving Back
We’re doing all we can to reduce our carbon footprint and we want to help others do the same.
Our employees, clients, and suppliers have all taken part in fundraising activities in the name of various national and local charities. Throughout the year colleagues have the opportunity to nominate good causes and create fundraising activities that help us to give back to those in need.
