As part of its commitment to reduce carbon from its road freight, the Royal Mail has signed up to the Logistics Carbon Reduction Scheme (LCRS).
Managed by the Freight Transport Association (FTA), the scheme aims to record, report and reduce carbon emissions from road transport as part of a wider industry effort to contribute to national carbon reduction targets.
Speaking on behalf of the Royal Mail’s fleet operation, Paul Gatti said that working through the LCRS would help the Royal Mail to ‘share best practice and identify the best ways to reduce our carbon footprint’.
Rachael Dillon, FTA’s Climate Change Policy Manager, said of the announcement: “The FTA is pleased to welcome Royal Mail to a growing number of companies that are focused on making carbon reduction and fuel efficiency a priority within their fleet operations. The scheme is free of charge and easy to take part in, whether you have one or 1,000 vehicles. I’d encourage more companies to join this initiative.”
