You might recall the Carbon Neutral Pledge that Springpack announced in September 2021. Why not click here to refresh your memory of their plans!
In short, Springpack wanted to make some changes to how they ran the business, making it even more environmentally friendly. They weren’t small changes either. They were big changes. And that’s just what they’ve done!
Springpacks Carbon Neutral Changes – Delivery Offer
Possibly the biggest change they have made to reduce their carbon emissions was launched in March 2022.
Following vital feedback from their customers, they simplified their delivery offer, moving to 2 delivery zones. Springpacks customers asked them to help them reduce their impact on the environment, and their new offering does just that. More orders are now being consolidated, with fewer deliveries being made to their regular customers.
The impact of this change was felt straight away, and the company will see the benefit when they analyse their carbon footprint for 2022.
Springpacks Carbon Neutral Changes – E-Cargo Bike Delivery Trial
In August 2022, Springpack wanted to reduce their Carbon Emissions even further, so they jumped on 2 wheels (well, 3 actually) to make some deliveries by bike!
Working with Raleigh on this project, Springpack are currently trailing completing some local deliveries using one of their e-cargo bikes.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Springpack team riding around Worcester, and give them a wave if you see them!
Springpacks Carbon Neutral Changes – Bike2Work Scheme
Early in 2022, Springpack launched a Bike2Work scheme, which allowed all employees the chance to ditch the car, and cycle to work! They partnered with Bike2Work and they’ve not looked back!
A large number of the team have engaged with the scheme, and are now cycling to work. They even celebrated ‘Cycle to Work Day’ in August – just look at all those happy cyclists!

Carbon Offsetting
For this part of the project, the company needed to work with industry experts, so they partnered with Carbon Neutral Britain. They ran a full review of all of their emissions, and reported back the results. They then worked with them to offset their carbon emissions from 2021. It was a straight forward process, and the team have also recommended a number of ways to reduce their impact on the environment too. Watch this space for Springpack next set of eco friendly goals!
