We acknowledge that our day-to-day business practices impact the environment and are determined to do our bit to minimise these effects. By setting sustainability as one of our four strategic pillars, we\u2019re underlining our business-wide commitment to operating more sustainably and protecting the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainable September aims to promote our understanding of sustainability issues and embed greener practices across all our staff and facilities. It is one of many ILG initiatives designed to drive change and deliver a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns pt-2 pb-3 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center pb-5, pt-3 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are we Doing for Sustainability Already?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, we set ourselves a target to reduce our carbon footprint by 35% by 2023. We are proud to announce that we achieved this earlier in 2022, eight months ahead of the deadline! Now we\u2019re setting newer, more ambitious targets to cut emissions even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re working hard to reduce our environmental impact in other ways too. In 2021 we switched all our energy contracts to green electricity and gas tariffs. Today, 100% of our waste is either recycled or used to produce electricity, with none sent to landfill. All our paper and cardboard is made from recycled materials or is recyclable. We\u2019re also making sure that as we open new facilities, we replace our older warehouses with modern, energy-efficient buildings equipped with eco-friendly features such as skylights, solar panels, EV charging points and low-energy LED lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at some of our latest green statistics below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"7929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta2-2.jpg\" alt=\"We have saved 93 tonnes of carbon dioxide in the last 6 months\" class=\"wp-image-7929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta2-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta2-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta2-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta2-2-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"7928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta4.jpg\" alt=\"We recycled 195 tonnes of waste cardboard in the last 6 months\" class=\"wp-image-7928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta4-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"7930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta5.jpg\" alt=\"We recycled 41.35% of our waste in the last 6 months\" class=\"wp-image-7930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/Recycling-Infographic-insta5-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there is always more to be done, so ILG is dedicating the month of September to promote sustainability across our business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s on During the Month?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are holding a series of events including Recycle Week, various competitions, educational sessions, Green Day and sales of old customer stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To kick off the month and engage our teams, we held Green Day on Friday 2<sup>nd<\/sup> September, when ILG staff across all facilities got involved by wearing green clothing or accessories to show their support. Take a look at some of our Green Teams below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/EGA-Warehouse-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Sustainable September staff\" class=\"wp-image-7918\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/EGA-Warehouse-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/EGA-Warehouse-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/EGA-Warehouse-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/EGA-Warehouse-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.international-logistics-group.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/EGA-Warehouse.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ILG Upcycles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the competitions running throughout the month is \u2018ILG Upcycles\u2019, where staff submit their repurposing tips and ideas, together with photos and videos of how they gave new life to items that no longer served a purpose. This could be anything from turning old jars into birdfeeders, to searching second-hand stores for clothing to create new outfits. We\u2019ve had some great submissions so far, including turning old vinyl into wall art and repurposing used furniture into new, rustic pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To top-off the \u2018reuse and repurpose\u2019 message, we are also holding an old stock sale where staff can buy old items of our customers\u2019 stock such as high-end shoes, children\u2019s\u2019 and women\u2019s\u2019 clothing, handbags and more for just \u00a310. All the money raised will be donated to our charity of the year, Rockinghorse Children\u2019s Charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Everyone Involved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as lots of fun initiatives, the aim of Sustainable September is to educate our staff and try to embed greener practices among us all. During \u2018Recycle Week\u2019 our waste disposal supplier, Grundon, will be visiting our sites, answering questions and providing interactive activities and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Towards the end of the month, we are holding \u2018leftover lunch day\u2019 to encourage people to bring in their leftover food for lunches the following day, share their leftover meal ideas, and encourage others to reduce food waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are also keen to learn what we can do better as a business. So, we are asking all our staff to fill in a simple questionnaire to tell us what they think ILG is doing well in relation to sustainability and areas where we can improve. We will use this information to inform our sustainable strategy moving forward. We\u2019ve also set up a committee of Green Champions at all our sites to encourage more sustainable behaviors during our working days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude activities, we will release results of the competitions and all our winners will receive sustainable prizes! So far, Sustainable September has been really engaging and we look forward to the rest of the exciting events to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainable September aims
