Environment – 64/100
Why it matters:
As a courier and delivery company, our carbon footprint, waste management, and energy usage have direct environmental impacts. The logistics industry is under growing pressure to reduce emissions and adopt sustainable practices.
What EcoVadis recognised:
-
Carbon Reduction in Transport: We actively work to lower emissions by optimising routes and modernising vehicles.
-
Employee Energy Awareness: Internal training and awareness programmes help employees reduce energy waste at every level.
-
Tech and Equipment Upgrades: Investments in more efficient infrastructure and tools reduce our environmental load.
-

What this means for clients:
By choosing Record Express, clients benefit from a delivery partner that is taking measurable action on environmental impact, in line with ESG goals and government regulations.
Social & Human Rights – 58/100
Why it matters:
Our business relies on people—drivers, logistics coordinators, customer support. Ensuring their safety, wellbeing, and fair treatment is not just ethical, but also essential to service quality and team performance.
What EcoVadis recognised:

In a tight labour market, this helps attract and retain talent. It also reassures B2B clients—particularly in healthcare, banking, and legal sectors—that Record Express operates under compliant and respectful HR practices.
Ethics – 48/100
Why it matters:
In delivery and document logistics, we often handle confidential materials (e.g. legal documents, banking deliveries). Strong ethical and data protection standards are crucial to building and maintaining client trust.
What EcoVadis recognised:
-
Data Protection Measures: We have protocols to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of customer information.
-
Sensitive Transaction Controls: Procedures are in place to review and approve actions like business gifts or unusual requests.
Planned improvements:
-
We are strengthening formal policies on anti-corruption, information security, and ethical conduct.
-
Ethics-related reporting and training will be expanded in 2025–2026.
What this shows:
Record Express is building a solid governance foundation while scaling up—essential for gaining trust with corporate and public sector clients.
360° Watch – 75/100
Why it matters:
EcoVadis performs independent media and compliance checks using thousands of public sources. This external monitoring ensures the company has not been involved in environmental violations, labour issues, or regulatory breaches.
Our result:
-
No negative records across compliance, media coverage, or public data.
-
Score: 75/100, reinforcing our reputation for responsible operations.
Why this is valuable:
This clean record demonstrates that Record Express is a low-risk, high-compliance partner—particularly important for sectors handling regulated or sensitive information.

- Environment
