Welcome & About Whistl
Preserving our natural environment At Whistl, we have pledged to reduce the environmental impact of our activities, and 2023 was a year of immense progress towards this ambition. Over the course of the year, we undertook several crucial measures to understand and manage the most impactful areas of our business: we calculated our first full carbon footprint, completed our net-zero strategy and demonstrated the robustness of our approach by submitting our net-zero target to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). To support our progress towards these ambitious targets, we are establishing a strategy to transition to an electric van and car fleet, engage our suppliers on ESG issues and improve the energy efficiency of our sites. Furthermore, by establishing a partnership with Zest Recycle, we have made strong progress against our waste management targets. These and other areas of progress are detailed on the following pages.

Preserving our natural environment
“ Our aim is to be a sustainable business, not only financially but also within the environment and communities in which we operate, and I am delighted that we are able to announce our ambition to achieve net zero by 2045. We believe in taking a science-based approach to this important issue, and particularly in the logistics sector, we depend on innovation and collaboration from our suppliers to enable us to reach this goal. We also look forward to developing new products and services for our customers to enable them to reach their own carbon reduction targets.” Nigel Polglass, Chief Operating Officer and ESG Board Sponsor
