Logistical decarbonisation
Importing goods
Delivering to customers
Havwoods’ products are sourced from partners across the globe, in the base and current reporting period importing goods was our second highest emitting activity outside of procurement. As we rely on 3rd party providers to deliver goods and materials to our facilities, we have not historically had oversight of the modes of transport used. This means we have defaulted to a spend-based estimation approach to quantifying emissions. During 2025 we have made headway with freight providers and expect to begin incorporating direct emissions reports into our next reporting period, allowing much improved oversight of our shipping activities. We continue to engage with other regional freight providers to request such data. This will ultimately allow us to benchmark our suppliers’ sustainability credentials against industry trends and begin factoring sustainability into our procurement processes.
Delivery of products to our customers occurs through Havwoods’ company fleet and third- party partners. As outlined in the ‘Our Progress’ section of this Report, we are making good progress in the decarbonisation of our vehicles, with the tiered preference toward electric, hybrid and fuel- efficient vehicles being implemented with consideration of commercially viable solutions. 3rd party providers pose a different challenge, and we aim to begin broaching sustainability and emissions reduction initiatives with them as part of the procurement policy revisions outlined on the previous page
