Carbon Footprint — Operations: How does Evri score?

Evri measures operational emissions using GHG Protocol methodology and reports CO2e per parcel (346g as of 2024/25). The company holds ISO 14001:2015 certification with annual external audits and has obtained ISAE 3000 independent limited assurance on its ESG data. However, no specific Scope 1 or Scope 2 tonnage figures are publicly disclosed — only intensity metrics and percentage reductions. The claimed 31% operational emissions reduction in FY2022/23 is referenced without a verifiable baselin

Carbon Footprint — Supply Chain: How does Evri score?

Evri states it monitors the carbon footprint of 'operations and suppliers' and provides carbon footprint reports to clients for their Scope 3 reporting. The company categorises emissions into Scopes 1, 2, and 3 using the GHG Protocol. However, no specific Scope 3 tonnage is publicly disclosed. The supply chain is complex: ~28,000 self-employed couriers using personal vehicles represent a major Scope 3 source, alongside fuel procurement, vehicle manufacturing, and packaging. The Indirect Spend Al

Emissions Trajectory: How does Evri score?

Evri reports a 38% reduction in carbon per parcel since the 2021/22 baseline and a 31% reduction in absolute operational emissions in FY2022/23. However, parcel volumes have grown rapidly — 14.9% in FY2023/24 to 730m, and a further 11% in FY2024/25 to 807m, with a target of 1 billion parcels annually. This rapid volume growth likely offsets intensity improvements when measuring absolute emissions. The primary metric highlighted (carbon per parcel) is an intensity measure, and no absolute emissio

Energy Source: How does Evri score?

Evri has procured 100% REGO-backed renewable electricity across all operations since October 2021. The Barnsley superhub includes on-site solar panels. Over 50% of the core tractor fleet runs on biomethane CNG (207 units), reducing CO2 by up to 90% vs diesel. Over 50% of core van fleet is electric, with 270 EVs added in 2024/25. HVO fuel at Brooklands depot. EV charging infrastructure investment exceeding £1m across depot network. However, REGO certificates are unbundled energy attribute certifi

Nature & Biodiversity Impact: How does Evri score?

Evri's Barnsley superhub includes a biodiversity area to support local wildlife, with more than 25,000 trees and hedgerows planted. Rain harvesting and acoustic bunds are installed for environmental mitigation. However, there is no formal biodiversity strategy, no TNFD-aligned disclosure, and no assessment of nature dependencies across the supply chain. The company's nature impact is primarily through vehicle emissions (air quality), road use, and logistics infrastructure, which is moderate for

Resource Use & Waste: How does Evri score?

Evri has a commitment to zero waste to landfill and targets a 70% recycling rate at hubs and 40% at depots. The environmental policy states the company aims to buy and use 'only what is required for purpose' and prioritises recycled and locally sourced materials where practicable. E-cargo bikes are made from natural fibre composite materials and recycled plastics/metals. The environmental purchasing policy considers impact of purchases. However, no measurable circular economy metrics or verified

Water Impact: How does Evri score?

Evri's Barnsley superhub features rain harvesting systems. The company's kWh consumption is monitored annually according to its environmental policy, but no water consumption data is publicly disclosed. Logistics is a relatively low water-impact industry — primary operations involve sorting hubs, depots, and vehicle fleets, none of which are water-intensive. There is no evidence of significant water pollution risk or chemical discharge. The rain harvesting at Barnsley and environmental managemen

Targets & Commitments: How does Evri score?

Evri has a self-set target of net-zero direct and indirect (Scope 1 and 2) emissions by 2035 and a building energy consumption reduction of 20% per sq ft by 2030. These are specific and measurable targets with timelines. However, no SBTi commitment or validation has been found. The 2035 net-zero target covers only Scope 1 and 2, not Scope 3, which is likely the majority of emissions given 28,000 couriers using personal vehicles. The building energy target is intensity-based (per sq ft), not abso

Transparency & Accountability: How does Evri score?

Evri publishes annual ESG reports (since FY2021/22), with ISAE 3000 independent limited assurance. The company holds ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications. An ESG Steering Committee and Final Mile Decarbonisation Steering Committee operate with executive representation and board reporting lines. All senior leadership have ESG objectives. The company participates in S&P CSA. Environmental policy, code of conduct, and ESG appendices are publicly available. However, speci

Controversies & Red Flags: How does Evri score?

No environmental controversies, greenwashing allegations, climate lawsuits, or regulatory environmental fines were found. No evidence of climate policy lobbying or membership in trade associations opposing climate action. The company faces significant social/labour controversies: in January 2025, Evri was accused in Parliament of using 'slave drivers contracts', with whistleblower complaints about unfair self-employment practices, erratic pay, and worker exploitation. Ofcom ranked Evri as worst
