Sustainable Business Practices and GHG Emission Reduction Targets
Overview
At Freightways, we recognise that sustainable business practices are fundamental to our future. We strive to reduce the environmental impact of our daily business operations and actively seek and embrace initiatives that protect the environment.
Freightways recognises that its core business is reliant on transportation to service its customers and is therefore an emissions-intensive organisation. Our New Zealand based businesses are TOITŪ carbonreduce certified.
Throughout its operations, Freightways strives to be an environmentally-responsible organisation and as an industry leader, we are determined to play our part in protecting the environment.
