Green Logistics

Transporting goods both long and short distances is an essential part of everyday life and business, but growing environmental awareness has revealed the importance of switching to sustainable practices.

If you’re looking into ways to minimise your business’ negative environmental impact and reduce your overall carbon footprint, you’ve come to the right place.

At John K. Philips, we’re always looking to the future and making timely changes to ensure we operate as efficiently as possible in all areas – including environmental sustainability.

We’re proud to say that green logistics are at the forefront of our extensive operations, improving everything from storage and distribution management to packing and transportation.

Sustainable Logistics Solutions

Green logistics includes any business practice that minimises the environmental impact by using alternative fuels, electric vehicles, and optimised transportation routes to reduce greenhouse gases.

Successful implementation of green logistics can promote energy efficiency across the logistics network and help businesses work towards conserving resources, reducing pollution and waste, and meeting customer demands.

It involves:

• Using biodegradable or reusable packaging instead of single-use materials such as plastic. Green packaging results in lower packaging costs.
• Implementing modern warehouse management systems to streamline your supply chain and reduce excess inventory and waste – ultimately building a positive brand image.
• Improving transportation logistics and establishing more efficient routes to increase delivery speed and reduce transport costs. Limiting the use of combustion vehicles can reduce emissions and save your business money simultaneously.
• Focusing on reverse logistics, returning and recycling packaging and products to conserve natural resources and raw materials.
• Working with green supply chain partners like John K. Philips to strengthen your sustainability efforts.

Green Logistics with John K. Philips

Overhauling your business to improve eco-friendliness and ensure a sustainable future can require major changes – but we make it easy at John K. Philips thanks to our integrated green logistics solutions.

Sustainability is all about optimising your supply chain from start to finish, choosing recyclable materials wherever possible, cutting fuel consumption, and using the most carbon-efficient methods for the warehousing, inventory management, and movement of your goods.

There are lots of ways to improve your business processes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions without negatively impacting profitability, and when you work with our team, we can help you streamline your services with our green transportation and green distribution facilities.

Not only do we have a new green warehouse in Warrington with excellent transport connections and energy-efficient resources, but solar panels cover 85% of our roof. These provide a renewable energy source – allowing us to move away from traditional fossil fuels.

We also use advanced technology to reduce paper processes and carbon emissions through optimised inventory control and dynamic route allocation – all of which is fully trackable.

Furthermore, we reduce our environmental footprint by using electric and other zero-emission delivery vehicles and optimising (also spelt ‘optimizing’) delivery routes.

Realising the advantages of green logistics requires an upfront investment but it pays off in the long run.
