Multichannel fulfilment expert, Staci, increases it’s annual donation to young persons charities to £31,000

Staci is committed to supporting our local and global communities through investing in ESG, sustainable initiatives, community projects and developing young futures.

In addition to our support of Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, we are delighted to announce our support of Wigan Youth Zone by becoming Silver Patrons of the incredible charity.

Wigan Youth Zone is a children’s charity who are dedicated to offering experiences and opportunities to young people, which will improve their futures in many different ways.

With 5 Multichannel Fulfilment Centres across the Blackburn and Wigan areas, giving back to the local communities that support us is vital to Staci, not only through donations but also with our Team Member volunteers, employment advice and support, and on site tours and activities.

We were delighted to accept our patron certificate last week in the presence of Lynsey Heyes, Andy Burnham MP and the amazing team at Wigan Youth Zone – thanks all and we look forward to our partnership over the coming years.

Multichannel fulfilment expert and Gold patron of Blackburn and Darwen Youth Zone, Staci, take the children and young people’s charity on a tree planting expedition. Staci partnered with Forestry England to give the children of Blackburn and Darwen Youth Zone a break from city life, and teach them the value of sustainability and conservation in the breath-taking Gisburn Forest.

The ash trees in Gisburn forest are sadly suffering from Ash Dieback – a fungal disease which kills trees. The children helped replace these trees with aspen trees, which can live for up to one hundred years, and remove approximately one tonne of CO2 from the environment in their lifetime.

As well as the children of Blackburn and Darwen Youth Zone gaining fond and lifelong memories of planting trees with their friends, they have also made an outstanding contribution to the environment by planting 60 aspen trees, therefore removing 60 tonnes of CO2 from the environment.

Thank you to the wonderful Forestry England, for helping us to bring this initiative to life, and of course thank you to the fantastic team of staff and children at Blackburn and Darwen Youth Zone for coming together to help the environment.

Global multichannel fulfilment expert Staci is pleased to announce the launch of its annual carbon calculation initiative in the UK.

As an international logistics and fulfilment partner to some of the worlds best loved brands across 9 countries and 3 continents, delivering a strong ESG performance is vital to the Staci business and Team Members.

With an aim of becoming Net Zero by 2050, Staci has invested in a comprehensive carbon analysis to provide a detailed picture of the carbon impact attributed to Staci’s operations on behalf of our UK clients. For many years Staci has reported on our carbon emissions, however this new initiative goes further and deeper than ever before, whilst also resulting in an SBTi verified action plan for the years ahead in our aim to achieve our Net Zero target.

Steven Shorrock, ESG lead for the UK said, “Staci globally has a huge commitment to sustainability – the group outlook for the years ahead in terms of ESG performance is really exciting, and we’re looking forward to delivering this in the UK, too. Our carbon analysis project will build on the foundations of the commitment to our local and global communities we’ve had for many years, and help take Staci and our clients to the next level in terms of data, analysis, intelligence – and overall results – on everything ESG.”

“From transition to green energy, investment in EV, significant charitable investments, sustainable packaging analysis, tree-planting, carbon offsetting and growing biodiversity initiatives, Staci will always be dedicated to doing the right things for the right reasons that generate real ESG improvement”

Staci, Europe’s leading multichannel logistics expert, has donated £25,000 to Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, a charity dedicated to improving the lives and opportunities of young people in the local area.

Staci is an international multichannel logistics expert with over 70 fulfilment centres in 8 countries, delivering over 15 billion items each year across the cosmetics, FMCG, technology and retail sectors.

Having operated UK offices in Blackburn since 1993, Staci has also been named as one of the top 4% of companies globally for their CSR performance across areas such as environment, ethics and labour standards, which includes their commitment to charitable causes across the UK.

The Youth Zone charity in Lancashire exists to create a positive future for young people, promoting cohesion, skills & aspirations, and health & well-being. They support children and young people aged 5 to 19, and up to 25 through the Youth Hub, which specialises in upskilling young people.

Rt Hon Jack Straw, Chairman of Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, said:

‘As Chairman of Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, we are very proud to welcome Staci to the network. The Youth Zone Patron network connects like-minded business leaders together to invest in the next generation. The Patron network has ensured that over the last ten years, the Youth Zone has supported over 18,000 young people, had 387,625 visits through their doors, raised just under £20 million and had a staggering 107,543 volunteering hours to support our mission. ’

Wayne Chapman, UK Managing Director of Staci, said:

“The whole of Team Staci is extremely proud to support this incredible cause, as the work done by Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone to improve the lives and opportunities of young people in the area is truly remarkable.”

“We’ve experienced incredible growth over the last few years, culminating with our best year on record in 2022. The result of this means we can support worthy causes even more with donations and patronages such as this, and my sincere thanks go to every member of Team Staci for helping make this possible.”

“Over 35 years Staci has held a strong reputation for ethics, CSR and doing the right thing for the right reasons – we know how much our clients value this, and we will continually improve this too.”

As an international Group 🌍 present in 8 countries, Staci must respect the rules of the countries where it operates, its communities and its environment. Appropriate ethical behaviour is a fundamental prerequisite for a healthy and efficient daily business environment.

➡️ We have developed our Code of Conduct to clearly state and respect our commitments as a company, an employer and a good corporate citizen on a daily basis. It is an essential tool to guide our choices in order to put our values and commitments into practice. ⬅️

Intended for all our employees, this guide is intended to help describe our position on :
🔹 The protection and use of the company’s assets
🔹 The fight against corruption, conflicts of interest, anti-competitive practices

🎯 Today, only companies with a strong ethical culture will be sustainable, which is why we want 100% of our employees to be trained in this approach by 2025.
