DPD UK has won an environmental award from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport(CILT) in recognition of its efforts to reduce its CO2 emissions and for the company’s recycling
programmes.“This is a fantastic recognition of how we carry out great environmental practices whilemaintaining the highest levels of customer service,” said Dwain McDonald, CEO of DPD UK. “We’redelighted with this acknowledgement. We were the first company in the parcels sector to invest inhigh volume, double-deck vehicles to transport parcels using fewer vehicles. We are particularlypleased that this best practice is now being adopted elsewhere as it is great news for theenvironment.”
