Bibby Distribution takes managing our impact on the environment very seriously.

Our ‘Three Green Balls' programme addresses the three main areas of environmental impact (our carbon footprint) at an operational level:

Fuel efficiency:  Our driver development programme (mandatory for all of our drivers) balances the issues of safe driving with improving fuel efficiency. We also carry out regular maintenance programmes to ensure our trucks are operating optimally.

Green Miles: Defined as ‘a mile taken off the road as a result of a management decision to do something differently'. We are constantly challenging our transport operators to become more efficient. By increasing backhauls, employing double deck trailers and integrating fleets from different customers we have taken over 1.5 million miles off the roads in the past 2 years alone.

Property Energy: Examples of our programme so far are the introduction of ‘power busters' which ensure all office equipment is fully shutdown outside of hours, and the retrofitting of our larger Distribution Centres with energy efficient lighting. We're also actively working with our customers and industry groups, such as the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) and the Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD) to share and develop knowledge.
