For several months now, Staci and all its subsidiaries have been working to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), a European regulation aimed at harmonising non-financial reporting around 3 key areas: Environment, Social and Governance.
And while the subject is at the heart of our concerns, it’s not just to meet regulatory requirements.
👉 The CSRD is a structuring and forward-looking project for our organisation.
👉 It enables us to transform these requirements into sustainable performance levers for our company and those of our customers.
Our objective 🎯? To remain a reliable, sustainable and resilient logistics partner at the service of our customers and in alignment with their growing sustainability needs.
To achieve this, Staci relies on:
🔹A fully committed management team
🔹Motivated teams
🔹Strengthened synergies with bpostgroup
Together, we are building sustainable logistics and transport solutions for today and tomorrow.

European Logistics and Supply Chain Sustainability Report 2024: Key Insights and What They Mean for the Industry
Sustainability continues to take centre stage in European logistics, as revealed in the recently published European Logistics and Supply Chain Sustainability Report 2024 by HFW, Panattoni, Pledge, and Analytiqa. The annual report offers a deep dive into how businesses are embracing eco-friendly practices and prioritising sustainability in their supply chains.
At Staci, sustainability is embedded in our operations, so we’re thrilled to see some of the report’s key findings showcasing significant growth in sustainable logistics initiatives across Europe. Below, we explore the highlights and their implications for the logistics industry.
Key Takeaways from the Report
From Aspirations to Obligations
- Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have.” According to the report, 33% of companies now demand sustainability performance rather than merely requesting it.
- This shift demonstrates that organisations are holding supply chain partners accountable for measurable progress in reducing their environmental impact. It’s a clear sign that sustainable practices are becoming a standard expectation rather than an optional enhancement
Premiums for Green Warehousing
- An encouraging 42% of surveyed companies expressed a willingness to pay a storage premium to transition their operations to greener, more energy-efficient buildings.
- This finding underscores the growing recognition of green facilities as a worthwhile investment—not only for their environmental benefits but also for their potential to enhance corporate reputation and operational efficiency.
Motivations for Sustainability Investments Manufacturers and retailers are prioritising sustainability for several key reasons:
- Enhancing corporate reputation.
- Making a positive social or environmental impact.
- Meeting 2050 UN carbon-neutral targets.
- Responding to customer demands for sustainable practices.
These motivations highlight the alignment of sustainability with both long-term corporate strategies and immediate customer expectations.
How Staci is Driving Sustainability
At Staci, we’re proud to be part of the movement toward greener logistics. Here’s how we’re contributing to a more sustainable future:
- Green Energy in Fulfilment Centres
All seven of our UK fulfilment centres are powered by renewable electricity, significantly reducing our carbon footprint. - Carbon-Neutral Delivery Options
We offer carbon-neutral delivery solutions to support our clients’ sustainability goals while ensuring that goods reach customers with minimal environmental impact. - Top 25% Globally for ESG Performance
Our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives have positioned us among the top 25% of companies worldwide, a testament to our commitment to making meaningful change.
What This Means for the Industry
The findings in the European Logistics and Supply Chain Sustainability Report demonstrate the logistics sector’s growing responsibility to lead on sustainability. For businesses, this is both an opportunity and a necessity.
By implementing measurable eco-friendly practices, companies can not only meet regulatory and customer requirements but also position themselves as leaders in a rapidly evolving market.
Looking Ahead
As we approach 2025, the expectations for greener logistics will only intensify. Organisations like Staci and many others are setting an example by actively integrating sustainability into their operations.

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”
