Carbon Footprint

What is a Carbon Footprint?

A carbon footprint is the sum of all greenhouse gas emissions produced by Soca Solutions Ltd, both directly and indirectly. For our courier operations, this includes emissions from our delivery vehicles, energy consumption in our offices and warehouses, and the packaging materials we use for shipments.
 

Why It Matters 

Reducing our carbon footprint is crucial for mitigating climate change, improving air quality, and preserving natural resources for future generations. At Soca Solutions Ltd, we believe that being environmentally responsible not only helps the planet but also strengthens our brand and contributes to long-term business sustainability in the competitive courier industry.

How We Measure Our Carbon Footprint

At Soca Solutions Ltd, we measure our carbon footprint using established industry methods, focusing on our fleet emissions, energy consumption in facilities, and packaging materials. We gather data on our operational activities, including vehicle mileage, fuel consumption, and warehouse energy use, to identify the primary sources of emissions. Our approach aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, categorizing emissions into three scopes: direct emissions from our vehicles (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), and value chain emissions including packaging and third-party transportation (Scope 3).
