CEO of DPD UK KERR LAINE Elaine, could you discuss the journey DPD UK has embarked on towards sustainability, particularly with your significant investment in electric delivery vans and biofuel such as HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) for your HGV fleet and in generating power through solar panels? A company of our size clearly has an impact on the environment, and we don’t want to shy away from that fact. We believe that not only do we have an obligation to be more environmentally conscious, but we can be leaders in it. Consequently, our parent company Geopost submitted an ambitious target to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to be net zero by 2040, which applies to us, too. This has been validated, making us one of the first parcel carriers in the UK to have such accreditation.
