How Committing to Net Zero Can Drive Business Growth

Sustainability and climate change expert, Catherine McFarlane, explains how committing to net zero is beneficial to businesses outside of their positive impact on carbon reduction and also delves into the actionable change we're implementing to reach our net zero targets.

How we’re making an impact

We invest in the transition to a low-emission fleet:

Using our tech to decrease the distance each package travels via smart routing, vehicle capacity
Testing 100s of electric vehicle (EV) models & innovations like retrofit & battery-swapping
Partnering with EV suppliers to accelerate delivery partners’ shift to low-emitting vehicles
Supporting financing for courier partners to make EVs more affordable

How do we measure our impact?

Tracking total emissions across company & fleet for scope 1, 2 & 3 to deliver reduction in line with Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi),
Setting internal objectives & carbon price to monitor ongoing performance & increase accountability

We aim to provide the best and fairest work opportunities for couriers:

Tracking courier income on a regular basis & ensuring fair pay in line with fair living standards
Offering access to financial products, healthcare, insurance & more
Designing training & apprenticeship programs that support professional development

How do we measure our impact?

Gathering regular feedback from the independent community of couriers who work with Stuart’s platform
Monitoring our initiatives’ health & the value produced for delivery partners
Participating in third-party assessment frameworks like Fairwork & Palmarès des plateformes
