XPO Logistics achieves carbon neutral status in its UK shared user warehouse site in Leicester

Leicester is the company's third carbon neutral certified site. The XPO Logistics partner site with Daimler Truck UK Limited in Milton Keynes achieved carbon neutral status in June, and the company’s UK and Ireland HQ and Central Hub at Crick, Northamptonshire, attained it last summer, six months ahead of schedule.

Dan Myers, Managing Director—UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “As a team, we’re focused on taking meaningful steps to achieve our goal of carbon neutrality. We know there is still much to do, but our work makes a difference in decarbonising our customers' supply chains and reducing their scope three emissions. This is yet another step towards our goal.”

The Leicester site was constructed to BREEAM Carbon Neutral standard, and the company is taking further actions to control and minimise carbon emissions. These include actively managing water demand through metering and monitoring usage across the site, implementing efforts to minimise resource consumption, and incorporating active zone controls and passive occupancy sensors for all LED lighting. All energy supplied is also derived from wind, solar, and hydro energy. By working with its waste contractor, XPO Logistics has achieved zero waste in landfills and high levels of segregation at its Leicester site, which drives a high recycling rate.
