Caring for our Climate
At Metropolitan Express we recognise that our industry has a responsibility to be future-focused for the health of the planet and the generations to come.
The transport industry delivers millions of important products throughout Australia and around the globe each year. Our deliveries enable progress in construction, health, education and development. We are proud of the contribution this makes to these sectors, and of how our work supports the growth and development of our nation.
Metropolitan Express is driven by what matters to Australia today and into the future.
As we look forward to the future, we understand the environmental challenges faced by our planet. Metropolitan Express acknowledges that we have a global climate crisis. We are committed to our ongoing education and awareness of this issue, and of what our role can be in creating a better future for the planet and its inhabitants.
Our vehicles are the single biggest area in which we as a company can make a difference. Our trucks and vans are on the roads for many thousands of kilometres throughout their lifespan, and so we think it’s important to put the right vehicles on the road. We purchase vehicles that have the best fuel economies and lowest carbon emissions available, as a bid towards the overall reduction of carbon emission into the atmosphere.
We also proudly partner with Greenfleet to actively offset our carbon emissions through planting trees and restoring forests. Together, we are fighting the impacts of climate change through the expansion and redevelopment of native biodiverse forests.
