Absolutely Sustainable
Sustainability is of increasing significance for businesses across all industries with growing scrutiny on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) behaviour. It can no longer be considered either a discrete or ancillary area of focus as the changes needed to achieve ‘net zero’ carbon emissions by 2050 affect us all.


What is Absolutely’s Vision of Sustainability?
Our vision is to become the leader in the final mile logistics market from a sustainability perspective, and our early adoption of an e-cargo bike fleet exemplifies our determination to achieve this. Our long-term goal is achieving net zero emissions by 2040.
We also believe that our business must play its part in protecting the planet by improving our sustainable office practices and personal habits such as travel, energy use, and food and drink purchase and consumption. Whether it’s avoiding single-use plastic water bottles, investing in reusable coffee cups or cycling to work, a good place to start to reduce your environmental impact is at work.
Transitioning to zero emissions
Absolutely Courier offers eco-friendly and sustainable courier services in London, with the option for a same day bicycle or cargo bike courier instead of vans, which produce emissions and pollution. We provide businesses, and individuals, with ways to make sustainable same day deliveries without an expensive price tag or worries about the speed of your delivery.
As a company that has been operating in London for many years, we completely understand the impact of rising carbon emissions on our streets and that is why we made the strategic decision to start investing in an eco-friendly fleet of electric cargo bikes at the end of 2018. As these vehicles, by definition, produce zero emissions, they are the ideal solution for delivering items in the cleanest and most efficient way across London, including the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
These bikes, while electrically assisted, still require human power to operate and therefore come with obvious limits to both the bikes’ range and capacity. To complement this fleet, and extend the capacity of operation, we are also investing in new ‘e DELIVER 3’ electric vans that enable the Absolutely London same day fleet to carry loads of up to 945kg.
These vans operate, in conjunction with our London eco-hub, by facilitating large loads for redistribution over the final mile by the Cargo Bikes while also making longer distance deliveries across the extended ULEZ zone.
The MAXUS e DELIVER 3 is designed from the ground up as an electric delivery van, using a combination of lightweight materials and all the expected safety features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), immobiliser and rear parking sensors.

Phasing Out Our Offsetting Programme
In line with the wider Geopost Group strategy, Absolutely is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2040—ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement. This will be achieved by drastically reducing the company’s absolute Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 90% and compensating residual emissions through carbon capture projects.
Since January 1, 2024, Absolutely has focused on carbon neutrality rather than carbon offsetting and will no longer offer offsetting options to customers.
We are very proud of the partnership we maintained with Ecologi from 2021 to 2023, during which we offset 1,753.26 tCO2e by funding 23,610 trees within their global reforestation mix. You can review our contribution by visiting the Absolutely Ecologi page.
Encouraging more eco-friendly practices
At Absolutely Courier, we strive to improve our sustainable practices and focus on making London a greener city. We encourage our colleagues to adopt more sustainable personal habits such as cycling or walking to work, bringing in their lunch, buying local produce, and using reusable cups and containers.
In the office we try to be as paperless as possible, only printing essential documents and providing recycling points throughout our offices. Whatever it is you’re using, the chances are you can recycle it.
