Sustainability Statement

Introduction

DigiHaul links the world through the transport of goods and information. We facilitate economic growth and the opportunity to deliver success for ourselves, our customers, and our partners. We acknowledge that both our customers' and hauliers' activities have a considerable impact on the environment. The world community has set a goal to limit global warming to less than two degrees Celsius and so we intend to make our business as sustainable as possible to ensure we hit this target of becoming Net Zero by 2050. We also want to help reduce logistics-related emissions to net zero by 2050. We can only achieve our goals if we work closely with our customers, and hauliers by getting them actively involved in our climate protection initiatives. Due to the nature of our core business our primary focus is emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and climate protection.

Our sustainability plan

DigiHaul wil control and manage its activities to ensure we work towards a continual reduction of our impact on the environment. We wil also encourage our haulier partners to develop, maintain and operate their resources in an environmentaly responsible manner.

From now through to 2030, we have identified some key focus areas that we believe wil help reduce as far as practicaly possible the adverse effects the road transport industry has on the environment. These are:

Backhaul Optimisation

We are committed to reducing empty running wherever possible by developing both technology and processes to minimise empty mileage for our haulier partners. We wil do this through identifying hauliers with complimentary lanes already in place with other customers and / or pairing loads and seling optimised routes to hauliers as a round trip. Where possible we wil identify opportunities to:

• Reduce stem mileage when selecting haulier partners.
• Prioritise the use of Cabotage to reduce empty running.

LTL (Less Than Truckload) Movements

Where we identify a shipment that is less than a ful truckload, we wil endeavour to mitigate this by either:

• Utilising a more appropriate vehicle that better matches the load size; or
• Consolidating multiple shipments into a ful truckload.

Standard Metrics

We wil ensure we have a robust carbon reporting process in place, and identify opportunities to pass on the carbon benefit to our customers through:

• Undertaking an annual Green Carrier Certification process and provide customers with the option to utilise hauliers according to their classification.
• Work towards obtaining ISO accreditation for our Environmental Management Plan.

Encouraging our haulier partners to:

• Obtain an appropriate accreditation i.e., ISO 14001:2015 or Mission Zero.
• Ensure al their drivers have been on targeted formal driver training.

Green Technology Solutions

Our approach to developing solutions to support carbon reduction activities include:

• Establishing a process for tracking our sustainable fleet network.
• Reduce paper usage through the introduction of e-pods.
• Make supplier selection decisions based on environmental impacts in line with customer requirements.
• Proactively identify both routes and transport solutions that can be operated using our hauliers' green fleets.
• Support industry campaigns to lobby government bodies for the required infrastructure to further the advancement of cleaner fuels where possible.
• Promote the use of cleaner energy sources.
