Embracing Innovation for a Sustainable Future

“It is easy to get lost and drawn into the many different debates on climate, environment and sustainability conversations. There is too much noise and too much debate about what is right, what it is and how to tackle it.

But as a Director, employer, mother and realist I understand that there is no immediate fix and by working on innovative and new projects that positively impacts our people, our communities and our planet we will be contributing to the best of our abilities. As Albert Einstein said “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. “

Stockwell International have partnered with Greenfleet to assist with the regeneration and improvement of biodiversity at a 100-year protected forest at Ngulambarra, VIC.

Greenfleet is a leading not-for-profit environmental organisation on a mission to protect our climate by restoring our forests by planting a biodiverse range of native trees and shrubs.

Stockwell International will be assisting Greenfleet in planting approximately 1000 trees and shrubs native to the Ngulambarra area. This will not only assist in collecting carbon but also promote healthy biodiversity and ecosystem restoration.

Energy Efficiency

Through the use of light sensors and harnessing energy through solar panels, Stockwells ensures that our offices and warehouse have minimal consumption of grid energy.

Using the latest technology and planning, Stockwells are able to plan fleet movements to maximise fuel efficiency, aiming to reduce our fuel impact by 10% by 2026.

Waste & Recycling programs

All our warehouses and office buildings are fitted out with waste and recycling bins so that anything that can be recycled is separated from landfill.

In all instances, Stockwells use paperless invoices across the business and encourage employees to adopt paperless solutions. Waste paper recycling bins are available in all offices.

Looking ahead to tomorrow

Delivering greener supply chain solutions for tomorrow

Supply chains are changing rapidly and the way the world operates is changing even quicker. With a growing focus on sustainable practices, Stockwell is committed to adopting new technologies and working towards sustainability targets.

Corporate & Social Governance

Stockwell’s framework for our policies, conduct and decision-making is based on our founder’s love of “family” and “giving back” and this includes our staff, their families and their communities. This philosophy and by proxy culture will remain our guiding principles.

Whilst our policies are supported and certified through ISO certifications our board is independently audited and risk is proactively discussed and monitored at all levels, a framework for accountability has been established at all levels which will assist to evaluate and monitor performance and keep accountability.

Our board recognises that governance and risk are our responsibility, and we all have a significant role to play in keeping management across all key areas of our goals and in achieving our corporate objectives for sustainability, social justice and environmental care.

Some of the projects Stockwell’s will be working on over the next 12 months include Diversity and Inclusive Training and Development programs and fundraising for those less fortunate.

“Stockwells strives to add value through a service to supply chains around the globe whilst also protecting nature, inspiring staff and supporting community.”
