WE'RE PROUD TO BE A

Carbon Neutral Plus certified company

This is the result of a decade of investment into new technologies and processes, covering every aspect of our business. We remain committed to further minimising our environmental impact and continue to strive to reduce our carbon footprint across all facets of our operations.

WE PLANT

A tree for every delivery

Since 2021, we’re planting a tree for every delivery made by Barker and Stonehouse. This helps to offset CO2 emissions from our deliveries, support sustainable timber forestry and ensure that we continue to protect our planet. So far, we’ve planted more than 84,000 trees.

WE BUILD

Sustainable stores

For the last 10 years we've ensured our stores are built with as many sustainable features as possible.

We’ve invested in intelligent low-energy heating and lighting systems for all our stores and use renewable energy from solar panels where we can. Where possible, we’ve planted living walls on our stores, creating a wildlife habitat and increasing biodiversity.

WE’RE INVESTING IN

Eco-friendly deliveries

To help us continue on our carbon reduction journey, we’ve invested in electric and hybrid delivery vehicles as well as Maximover vans, which are much lighter and twice as fuel efficient than our old fleet.

We’ve introduced a state-of-the-art logistics system to ensure deliveries run as efficiently as possible, thereby reducing our emissions.

For 2024, we are pleased to announce that we have introduced a prototype hydrogen delivery vehicle to our fleet. We are currently trialling this vehicle with hopes to roll it out further in the future.

Highly energy efficient, hydrogen vehicles emit zero emissions and will help us on our sustainability journey.
