Express Couriers named 2008 winner of the Sustainable Business Networks Awards, in the emerging large business category
The Northern Region celebrated the best sustainability achievements amongst its members with the 2008 Northern Region
SBN Awards, held on August 28th in Auckland.
Accolades celebrated businesses in many categories demonstrating environmental leadership through their sustainability
achievements.
This year, Express Couriers were the emerging large business category winners and were recognised for their commitment
to embracing sustainable practices within the organisation.
Express Couriers through its brands CourierPost, Pace, Contract Logistics and Roadstar have launched industry firsts
such as environmental packaging and recycling programs in which proceeds from the sale of the returned and recycled
materials are donated to charities.
Express Couriers has attributed their win to integrating social, cultural and environmental management into their
day-to-day courier, logistics and warehousing operations.
Jim Quinn, CEO of Express Couriers is delighted with the acknowledgement from the SBN and with the achievements of the
organisation. “I’m proud of the team’s commitment to sustainable practice and that Express Couriers are recognised for
doing our bit when it comes to taking care of our environment”
