CarryOn Announces Comprehensive Sustainability Initiative for 2025
CarryOn Logistics has unveiled an ambitious sustainability initiative aimed at achieving carbon neutrality across its operations by 2030. The comprehensive plan includes significant investments in green technology, renewable energy, and sustainable practices throughout the company's supply chain.
The initiative, which represents a $50 million commitment over the next five years, was announced at the Australia-China Green Logistics Summit in Sydney. "Sustainability is not just a corporate goal; it's a fundamental responsibility we have to our planet and future generations," stated Dr. Emily Chen, CarryOn's Director of Sustainability.
Key components of the sustainability initiative include:
- Conversion of 80% of the company's vehicle fleet to electric by 2026
- Installation of solar power systems at all warehouse facilities
- Implementation of zero-waste packaging solutions
- Development of carbon-neutral shipping routes
- Partnership with environmental organizations for reforestation projects
The company has already made significant progress, with its Sydney distribution center now operating on 100% renewable energy and achieving a 60% reduction in waste through improved recycling programs. These early successes have demonstrated the feasibility of the broader initiative.
"We're not just talking about sustainability; we're implementing concrete measures that will have a real impact," explained Michael Thompson, CarryOn's CEO. "Our goal is to lead the logistics industry in environmental responsibility while maintaining the highest standards of service for our clients."
CarryOn has also launched a new "Green Shipping" program that allows clients to opt for carbon-neutral shipping options. The program has already attracted strong interest from environmentally conscious businesses, with 45% of clients signing up in the first month of availability.
The company plans to publish annual sustainability reports detailing progress toward its environmental goals, with the first report scheduled for release in early 2026.
