Global is dedicated to sustainability and energy efficiency. Our warehouses and managed Outdoor estate are ISO 50001 accredited, and we report to the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) to identify and implement energy-saving measures. Our commercial fleet features the latest low-emission engines, with 10% of our vans fully electric, helping to reduce our carbon footprint. Telematics technology monitors driving habits to improve fuel efficiency.
