Trees, bees and worms get to work at XPO Logistics

[ February 10, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

XPO Logistics is launching a ‘Nature Network’ project to enhance biodiversity around its sites in the UK and Ireland, part of its efforts to improve sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions and within the microclimates around each depot. The company’s headquarters at Crick in Northamptonshire will be the first site to implement changes through the project, with plans to roll it out across multiple sites in 2025.

Around 20 varieties of wildflowers are being sown across two acres of land at Crick, along with 50 trees, all of which are native to the UK. Any fruit grown onsite will be offered to the canteen along with, soon, honey made by bees in hives on the site.

Wildflowers and herbs – which will be available again for the cafeteria or staff to use – will be planted in 30 planter boxes and 20 wall box racks while a wormery will take care of some of the cafeteria waste.
