CHEP becomes a carbon neutral operations company
The supply chain solutions expert has brought net CO2 emissions derived from its own operations to zero, a significant step towards its 2025 sustainability targets
CHEP has become carbon neutral in all its operations, a first key step towards decarbonising its whole supply chain as part of its strategy to pioneer regenerative supply chains.
The company’s net CO2 emissions have been brought down to zero across scope 1 and 2 of the standardised Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This covers direct emissions generated from the burning of fuel and indirect emissions resulting from the production of electricity purchased.
Matt Quinn, CHEP Vice-President, Northern Europe, says: “I couldn’t be prouder of this milestone, but the work doesn’t stop here. The real challenge lies ahead of us in advocating for our customers and suppliers to become carbon neutral in their operations too, covering the so-called scope 3.
“We’ve reduced carbon emissions for over 70 years including a significant reduction between 2015 and 2020, however supply chain activities still generate inevitable greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, reaching net zero emissions can only be achieved with the help of carbon compensation initiatives like investing in reforestation projects and through the purchase of renewal energy, which is what our parent company, Brambles is doing across the globe.
“We’ll continue to extend and build new partnerships with our customers and suppliers and find the best available low and zero-carbon products and services to decarbonise our entire supply chain.”

CHEP helps move more goods to more people, in more places than any other organisation on earth. Its pallets, crates and containers form the invisible backbone of the global supply chain and the world’s biggest brands trust CHEP to help them transport their goods more efficiently, sustainably, and safely.
As pioneers of the sharing economy, CHEP created one of the world’s most sustainable logistics businesses through the share and reuse of its platforms under a model known as ‘pooling’. CHEP primarily serves the fast-moving consumer goods (e.g. dry food, grocery, and health and personal care), fresh produce, beverage, retail, and general manufacturing industries.
CHEP employs approximately 11,000 people and believes in the power of collective intelligence through diversity, inclusion, and teamwork.
It owns approximately 330 million pallets, crates, and containers through a network of more than 750 service centres supporting 500,000+ customer touchpoints for global brands including Procter & Gamble, Sysco, and Nestlé. CHEP is part of the Brambles Group, operating in approximately 60 countries with its largest operations in North America and Western Europe.
