Delivering our loaves the sustainable way

At Hovis® we recognise our responsibility to operate a logistics road fleet that has minimal emissions impact on the environment and a continual commitment to improving road safety and driver performance.

We have removed 1.3m miles from our operation in order to reduce emissions.

Since introducing a new 7.2t convenience vehicle to our fleet in 2019, in 2020 a total of 50 were in operation, covering 2.5m miles nationally into urban and inner-city areas, saving approximately 35,000 gallons of fuel vs conventional 7.5 tonne and 12 tonne vehicles which they have replaced.

We have recently signed a carbon offsetting agreement to support the Ghanaian cookstove project. This will offset the whole of the logistics carbon footprint, whilst supporting the development in lifestyle for Ghanaian families.

Recognised in 2020 by Microlise and awarded the Prestigious “driver excellence” award.
