At Copart UK, we’re actively engaging long‑standing suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions and deliver positive environmental outcomes across our supply chain.
Scope 3 emissions represent a significant proportion of Copart’s overall carbon footprint, therefore close collaboration with suppliers like Belle Car Transporters and Specialised Trailers Ltd., is a critical component for credible delivery of our Plan-Net-Zero.
Working directly with supply chain partners supports improved emissions data quality, more effective reduction strategies, and environmental impact beyond our own operations.
In a recent visit to Belle Trailers, a trusted long-standing supplier to Copart, we reviewed our joint progress across sustainability, biodiversity, and circular economy initiatives.
Belle Trailers showcased a range of industry‑leading environmental initiatives, including a biodiversity programme that has delivered the planting of approximately 6,500 trees, alongside long-term measures to protect woodland areas and local wildlife habitats.
In addition, Belle Trailers have committed to plant four trees for every vehicle they have built for Copart over several decades, which to date is over 600.
Jamie Walker, Sustainability Manager at Copart UK, said:
“Our collaboration with Belle Trailers highlights how long‑term supplier partnerships can play a critical role in reducing supply chain emissions, strengthening operational resilience, enhancing ESG reporting, and delivering environmentally positive outcomes.”
Jasmine Barnard, Sustainability Manager at Belle Trailers, added:
“Belle Trailers are really pleased to be part of the long-term Copart sustainability programme investing in new woodland projects, environmental schemes, and recycling components; with both companies actively working towards net-zero.”
