Spicers partner with Greenfleet in a move toward Carbon Neutrality

Spicers Australia has announced they will offset CO2 emissions relating to their Australian Operations. This will include emissions from the LPG for gas forklifts, the diesel used in their fleet of trucks, the fuel used in company cars (including those with car allowances) and electricity used in offices and DCs. Spicers have already taken action through solar panels on some sites, LED lighting upgrades and movement to more electric forklifts. Spicers are proud to partner with Greenfleet to take climate action and offset its carbon emissions through native reforestation.

Greenfleet is a not-for-profit that plants native biodiverse forests to capture carbon emissions and help fight the impacts of climate change.

“By partnering with Greenfleet, we are confident that our climate action provides genuine and lasting environmental benefits. We are proud of the impact we’re about to make,” said David Martin, CEO of Spicers Limited. “By offsetting our emissions with Greenfleet in 2022, we are taking practical action against climate change and helping to restore Australia’s forests, recreate crucial habitat for native wildlife and transform degraded land back to its natural state.”

Spicers’ first offset will be allocated to Glendalough, South Gippsland, Victoria. A previously cleared 240-hectare property will be returned to its native ecosystem. The property is adjacent to a remnant native forest, providing an important vegetation link for Strzelecki Koalas and a habitat for native birds such as the Yellow-faced Honeyeater and Grey Fantail.
