Sustainability

We have put in place policies and processes to run a sustainable and responsible operation. The freight forwarding sector can give proof of sustainability with conscious ecological actions and Hyland relies on various measures to achieve this goal.

  • As a matter of course we look to eliminate dead mileage by by maximising load capacity.

  • Our modern vehicle fleet keeps our environmental impact ‘on the road’ as low as possible.

  • We organise the return of special-purpose transportation equipment to ensure its reuse.

  • We responsibly recycle packaging materials.

  • We consistently search for and use location-based, environmentally-friendly resources.

  • Intelligent routing and the optimum allocation of resources serve both the environment and our customers.

Solar Energy

On our premises we are working towards a more energy efficient workplace. A stepping stone towards this was the introduction of solar panels to our Dublin HQ. Below we can see some figures that have been obtained over the last three years of their use:

  • €6,500 - Solar Energy Cost

  • 47 tons of CO2 was avoided

  • Savings show the equivalent of 780 trees planted

  • 26 tons of coal saved

FTA Approved

We are thrilled to announce that Hyland Shipping has been recognized by the Freight Transport Association of Ireland (FTAI) with two prestigious awards following a successful audit.

  • Green VanSafe Standard

  • Bronze TruckSafe Standard

These achievements highlight our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of operational excellence in transport. The TruckSafe and VanSafe standards are benchmarks of safety, efficiency, and sustainability, and we are proud to lead by example in these critical areas.
