Environmental Policy

Committed to Responsible, Sustainable Business

The Glitter Tree Ltd recognises the need to control environmental issues through a planned, systematic approach through an Environmental Management System (EMS), by reducing our global environmental burden. We aim to look at our direct effect on the surrounding environment, the disturbance that our work activities have on the people in the surrounding vicinity, and the wider effect of our activities on global resources.

Carbon Neutral Delivery

For all our customers, at no extra cost, our commitment is to make every parcel we deliver carbon neutral. We measure our CO2 emissions, work to reduce them, and offset the remaining emissions.

How We Operate

Smart Urban Delivery

As delivery to more people increases every day, we stay aware of our impact on local populations and communities, and look for solutions that improve people's way of living.

Innovative Entrepreneurship

With the rise of e-shopping and on-demand delivery, traditional delivery methods are being remodelled, so we promote innovation internally and externally across our business.

Closer Communities

As our customer base grows, so does our opportunity to build lasting relationships and have a positive influence on the communities closest to us.

Our Environmental Management System (EMS)

The Glitter Tree Ltd aims to suitably control the environmental effects of our work activities by protecting and improving the environment through good management and adopting best practice wherever possible. This includes a commitment to develop a culture of continual environmental improvement and, wherever possible, adopting greener alternatives.
