A Message from CEO Eric Brown

As the CEO of GO2 Delivery, I’m reaching out to share our commitment to sustainability and why it’s so crucial for us as a courier service. Recent studies, including those by Joeri Rogelj at Imperial College London and others in the field, have highlighted a pressing issue: the need to hit net zero carbon emissions by 2034 to avoid breaching the critical 1.5°C limit in global warming.

The Urgency of Reducing Carbon Emissions

The data is clear. To keep global warming below 1.5°C, we can emit only around another 220 gigatonnes of CO₂. Unfortunately, with current emission rates, we’re on track to exceed this limit by 2029 or earlier. This fact isn’t just a warning; it’s a call to action for every industry, including ours.

Why Courier Services Need to Act

In the courier and delivery sector, we are uniquely positioned to make a significant impact. Our fleets are constantly on the move, and traditionally, this means a substantial carbon footprint. At GO2 Delivery, we understand our responsibility and are committed to being part of the solution, not the problem.

Our Steps Towards Sustainability

• Eco-Friendly Fleet: We are transitioning to electric and hybrid vehicles to reduce our emissions drastically.
• Optimized Routes: Using advanced technology, we ensure the most efficient routes, cutting down unnecessary mileage and emissions.
• Renewable Energy: Our facilities are shifting towards renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.

Our Pledge

We’re not just working towards reducing our carbon footprint; we’re striving to set an example in our industry. Every tenth of a degree in temperature rise that we can prevent counts. We aim not just to limit our environmental impact but to be a force for positive change.
