CHEP Europe continues to promote the Lean & Green (L&G) initiative in Europe as part of its commitment to sustainable supply chains. 

L&G is a programme run by Connekt, a Dutch non-profit organisation that has helped over 400 companies cut a combined total of 400,000 tonnes of CO2 from their supply chains. When a company that plans to cut CO2 emissions by 20% in five years is successfully audited, it receives an L&G star award.  

CHEP’s efforts to cut carbon emissions by reducing empty trucks on the road has been recognised with two L&G stars in the Netherlands, one star each in Belgium and Germany and the L&G award in Italy. CHEP has also actively promoted L&G across Europe and has played a key role in the recent launch of the initiative in the Czech Republic, Switzerland and Spain.
