Evri sustainability score: 37/100

Evri reports 346g CO2e per parcel and holds ISO 14001:2015 with annual audits and ISAE 3000 assurance. A 31% operational emissions reduction in FY2022/23 is claimed without verifiable baseline tonnage. Estimated total emissions based on parcel volumes: ~279,000 tonnes. No public Scope 1 or Scope 2 absolute figures disclosed.

Evri monitors supplier carbon footprint and provides client Scope 3 reporting tools. Supply chain includes 28,000 self-employed couriers using personal vehicles—a major Scope 3 source alongside fuel procurement and packaging. Indirect Spend Alliance membership noted. No Scope 3 tonnage publicly disclosed or quantified.

Evri claims 38% reduction in carbon per parcel since 2021/22 baseline and 31% absolute operational reduction in FY2022/23. Parcel volumes grew 14.9% to 730m (FY2023/24) and 11% to 807m (FY2024/25), with 1 billion target. Absolute emissions trajectory across multiple years not publicly available; intensity gains likely offset by volume expansion.

100% REGO-backed renewable electricity since October 2021 across all operations. Over 50% of core tractor fleet runs on biomethane CNG (207 units, up to 90% CO2 reduction vs diesel). Over 50% of core van fleet electric; 270 EVs added in 2024/25. Barnsley superhub has on-site solar. EV charging infrastructure investment exceeds £1m. REGO certificates have limited additionality.

Barnsley superhub includes biodiversity area with 25,000+ trees and hedgerows planted. Rain harvesting and acoustic bunds installed. No formal biodiversity strategy, no TNFD disclosure, and no supply chain nature dependency assessment. Primary impact via vehicle emissions and road infrastructure; on-site planting represents awareness rather than systematic strategy.

Evri commits to zero waste to landfill and targets 70% recycling at hubs, 40% at depots. Environmental policy prioritises buying only what is required and using recycled/locally sourced materials where practicable. E-cargo bikes made from natural fibre composites and recycled materials. No measurable circular economy metrics or verified waste data publicly disclosed.

Barnsley superhub features rain harvesting systems. No water consumption data publicly disclosed. Logistics operations (sorting hubs, depots, vehicles) are inherently low water-intensity. No evidence of water pollution risk or chemical discharge. ISO 14001 management suggests basic awareness; no water footprint quantification.

Evri targets net-zero direct and indirect (Scope 1 and 2) emissions by 2035 and 20% building energy reduction per sq ft by 2030. Targets are specific and measurable. No SBTi commitment found. Scope 3 (likely majority of emissions from 28,000 couriers) excluded from net-zero target. Intensity-based building target, not absolute.

Annual ESG reports since FY2021/22 with ISAE 3000 limited assurance. ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 certified. ESG Steering Committee and Final Mile Decarbonisation Steering Committee with board reporting. All senior leadership has ESG objectives. S&P CSA participation. Specific emissions tonnage data not publicly disclosed; ESG reports not easily downloadable.

No environmental controversies, greenwashing allegations, climate lawsuits, or regulatory environmental fines found. No climate policy lobbying identified. January 2025 Parliamentary accusations of exploitative self-employment practices ('slave drivers contracts'), whistleblower complaints about erratic pay and worker treatment. October 2024 Ofcom ranked Evri worst for customer service. These are social labour issues, not environmental.
