[ April 11, 2024   //   ]

Supply chain solutions provider Oakland International has appointed Doyin Adeleye as its new sustainability and ESG manager.

He will work across the Oakland group of businesses help it attain its climate and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) goals.

Adeleye has worked for several public and private sector organisations including Mouchel (now part of WSP), Balfour Beatty, OFGEM, the Environment Agency, the University of Wolverhampton, Greater London Authority, Energise and most recently Carbon Limits.

He said: “My short to medium term target will be to help set out and implement our Sustainability and Net Zero strategic pathway, deepen collaboration and engagement with our stakeholders, and strengthen our reporting obligations. In the longer term, my priority will be to help further develop our on-site clean energy generation, green our distribution fleet, help us achieve Net Zero targets and position and continue to help position us at the forefront of sustainability excellence.”

Oakland International specialises in direct to consumer distribution, case consolidation, contract packing, storage and distribution, food tempering and brand development support for ambient, chilled, and frozen food, serving retail, convenience, discount, wholesale and food service markets in the UK and Ireland.

It also provides distressed load management, which prevents food and non-food products from being wasted unnecessarily. Oakland International is now working towards becoming the first business in their sector to achieve net zero.
