In 2022 Spicers embarked on our journey towards Carbon Neutrality.
Spicers Australia is offsetting CO2 emissions relating to our Australian operations. This includes emissions from LPG for our gas forklifts, the diesel used in our fleet of trucks, the fuel used in company cars (including those with car allowances) and electricity used in our offices and Distribution centres. Whilst Spicers have taken action through solar panels on some of our sites, LED lighting upgrades and movement to more electric forklifts, we still have some work to go. We are proudto be partnering with Greenfleet to take climate action and offset our carbon emissions through native reforestation.
Greenfleet is a leading not-for-profit environmental organisation committed to protecting our climate by restoring our forests. Greenfleet plants native biodiverse forests to capture carbon emissions and help fight the impacts of climate change. Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted over 10.8 million trees across 550+ forests in Australia and New Zealand. As they grow, Greenfleet forests absorb carbon emissions, improve soil and water quality and restore habitat for native wildlife, including many endangered species.
Spicers’ first offset was allocated to Glendalough, VIC. In the rolling hills of South Gippsland, this previously cleared 240-hectare property will be returned to native ecosystem. The property is adjacent to remnant native forest and will provide an important vegetation link for Strzelecki Koalas and habitat for native birds such as the Yellow-faced Honeyeater and Grey Fantail.
“By partnering with Greenfleet, we are confident that our climate action provides genuine and lasting environmental benefits. We are proud of the impact we have made and that we will continue to make into the future,” said David Martin, CEO of Spicers Limited. “By offsetting our emissions with Greenfleet, we are taking practical action against climate change to help to restore Australia’s forests, recreate crucial habitat for native wildlife and transform degraded land back to its natural state.”
Through practical climate action, Greenfleet is growing hope for our climate.
