Our Commitment
Environment & Sustainability
Logistics has an environmental responsibility. At Hi-Speed, we are taking meaningful steps to reduce our impact — for our customers, our communities, and future generations.
Why It Matters
Doing Our Part for a Greener Future
The transport and logistics industry is one of the UK's largest contributors to carbon emissions. As a company that has operated for over 40 years, we understand the scale of our responsibility — and we take it seriously.
We are not a company that makes promises without action. From introducing electric vehicles to our fleet, to eliminating paper from our day-to-day operations, every decision we make is measured against its environmental impact. Our goal is continuous, practical improvement — not just words on a page.
We work collaboratively with our customers to find greener solutions, whether that's consolidating shipments to reduce unnecessary journeys, offering carbon-conscious routing, or providing advice on sustainable packaging choices.

What We're Doing
Our Sustainability Initiatives
Electric & Hybrid Fleet
We are actively transitioning our fleet to include electric and hybrid vehicles. Our Mercedes E-Vito delivers zero local emissions for city-centre runs, and our Ford Kuga Hybrid reduces fuel consumption on suburban routes.
Route Optimisation
Our control room uses intelligent route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage, reducing both fuel consumption and emissions across every delivery we make.
Sustainable Packaging
We encourage customers to use recyclable and reusable packaging materials and actively reduce our own use of single-use plastics across our warehouse and office operations.
Carbon Awareness
We are committed to understanding and reducing our carbon footprint. We monitor fuel usage and emissions data across our fleet to identify areas for continuous improvement.
Paperless Operations
Electronic proof of delivery, digital invoicing, and online customer portals mean we are continually reducing our reliance on paper throughout our operations.
Responsible Warehousing
Our depots use energy-efficient lighting and heating systems, and we are investigating further renewable energy options including solar for our Aldershot and Rugby sites.
