Power Docs & Freight director Mark Power and operations manager Sean Flannery run a small but vibrant, up and coming freight company, which set about creating its own business template for reducing emissions and leveraging this strength to attract clients.
Despite the company's clarity of purpose, Flannery says he was astonished to but delighted to take out the trophy for the inaugural Best Green Initiative category at Logistics Magazine's 2009 Mercury Awards held in November.
“It’s brilliant to be recognised in the inaugural Best Green Initiative category,” he says.
Flannery sees the fact that the company has taken emissions reduction into consideration as part of its business plan as the key to its Mercury Awards win.
“We’re not only looking for likeminded clients that want to reduce their emissions or have an environmentally concerned client base,” he explains, “we’re also networking with other parts of our industry that view a green commitment as vital.
“As a business and an industry participant, we’re hoping to see legislation developed to contribute to the process of promoting emissions reduction as an active way to improve business in the long term.”
Mark Power says the next stage for Power Docs & Freight is software.
“We’re developing major software to actually communicate the carbon reductions that we’ve achieved for our clients clearly,” he says.
“We’re looking at emissions tracking and hopefully, industry permitting, an emissions-free fleet in 2020.”
