Go green with carbon toolkit
March 1st 2010 Warehouse owners and operators
are set to benefit from an 'emissions
toolkit' that will help them cut their
carbon footprint and save on costs.
The United Kingdom
Warehousing Association (UKWA)
is working in partnership with the
Carbon Trust on the project.
The Carbon Trust is an
independent company backed by
the Government to help businesses
measure, manage and reduce their
carbon footprints, and has
identified a number of sectors
where its support could have the
greatest impact.
It is estimated the warehousing
industry represents approximately
three per cent of the UK's CO2
emissions.
Michael Davidson, UKWA's
membership services manager, said:
"UKWA's 650 member companies
operate nearly 10 million square
metres of warehousing from around
2000 depots across the UK, which,
according to the Carbon Trust,
makes up a significant proportion
of the warehousing industry's
carbon footprint of approximately
10.2 million tonnes of CO2
annually." More articles from United Kingdom Warehouse Association: |
