Looking after the environment

As a responsible Road Haulage Company we are aware that the very nature of our business will have some negative impact on the environment. It is our responsibility to minimise and wherever possible, mitigate any such impact. In pursuit of this goal we are continually looking at ways to maintain and improve our environmental practices and sustainability in all areas of our business.

At Newton Transport we believe that environmental responsibility is both a moral and a business imperative. Helping to maintain and sustain the environment is an essential way to maintain and sustain our business.

Our environmental policy:

• To minimise our consumption of materials; Fuel, Water, Energy.
