Working with our clients and our business partners we are always looking to identify areas where we can make a positive contribution to the environment.

We regularly review our business operation and utilise various third-party sources including the Road Haulage Association, to ensure we keep up date with emerging Environmental issues. Our Transport Management System and vehicle tracking ensure our Transport department operates efficiently, thereby reducing our environmental impact as well as providing an excellent service to our customers.

Achieving and maintaining accreditations such as FORS Gold and ISO 14001 ensures we as a company are constantly aiming to be more environmentally responsible across all our operations. Training compulsory as part of FORS Gold accreditation requires all our drivers to undertake training, both theory and practical to achieve best practice in terms of environmental protection. Monitoring of fuel usage, driving behaviour and fleet efficiency is also required to achieve FORS Gold accreditation and proof the company is minimising CO2 emissions on a month by month basis.

Fox Brothers are proud of our commitment to the Environment and this policy statement will be regularly reviewed and updated as necessary.
