Pallet-Track, a UK pallet network, has launched an ESG strategy targeting a 35% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2028 against a 2024 baseline of 8,631 tCO2e. The company also aims to cut Scope 3 transport emissions by 20% through fleet upgrades, alternative fuels, and waste diversion of 99% from landfill. The strategy emphasizes carbon intensity metrics to ensure per-shipment efficiency improves as volumes grow. Social goals include a 30% reduction in injury rates and a 10% increase in underrepresented groups in management. CEO Stuart Godman says the 2028 deadline creates immediate accountability rather than deferring action.

8,631 tCO2e baseline for a pallet network sounds about right. The 35% cut by 2028 on Scopes 1 and 2 is decent but I want to see how much of that is fleet turnover vs offsets.

They say they want absolute reduction not just offsets. That is the right framing. But Scope 3 transport only 20% cut seems low for a logistics company. Curious what the fleet mix looks like now.

64 million miles saved from their hub model already. That is a real number. The question is whether the new central hub adds miles or just consolidates them. Carbon intensity per shipment will tell the story.

First ESG strategy of its kind in the sector according to them. That is a strong claim. Would be good to see a third party verify the baseline and methodology before 2028.

The 2028 deadline is smart. Forces real action instead of 2050 promises. But they need to report annually with transparent methodology. Carbon intensity metric is key for growth companies.
