At C & D South West, we are committed to delivering a better future for all. We believe sustainable distribution should be a viable, eco-conscious choice that’s open to everybody.
As operators, it is our belief that we all have our part to play to protect the environment for generations to come and have a responsibility to protect our environment.
Our continued commitment to the environment involves being a climate-positive workforce, investing in the latest transport technology, efficient processes, and modern, economical vehicles that allow us to reduce our carbon footprint.
We are currently charging a sustainability surcharge to our clients, and this surcharge includes fuel, environmental, and emissions costs to support our commitment to a greener transport and logistics industry meaning a sustainable future for everyone.
