Sustainability and Social Value at Tranzaura

Tranzaura are taking every step we can to be more sustainable, for our customers and ourselves, as a company. 

At Tranzaura, our commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in our mission to positively influence the transport industry while ensuring that our business practices benefit both people and the planet. Since our founding in 2010, we’ve continuously worked to create a better environment for our employees, customers, and communities. This includes promoting social value, reducing our environmental footprint, and supporting local economies.

Our Approach to Social Value

Our sustainability journey is guided by the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012, along with other key legislation like the Well-being of Future Generations Act (Wales) 2015 and the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We prioritize social, economic, and environmental well-being in every project we undertake, ensuring that our services have a positive impact on the community.

Key Social Drivers

• Putting People First: We prioritize the well-being of our employees and communities by fostering a culture of support, inclusivity, and flexibility.
• Supporting Local: We actively engage with local suppliers and workforce, ensuring that our operations benefit regional economies.
• Reducing our Carbon Footprint: Through a range of sustainability initiatives, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and working towards net zero emissions.

Environmental Sustainability Initiatives

Our environmental strategy centres around reducing carbon emissions, waste, and energy consumption, as well as fostering greener communities. Below are some of the ways we’re achieving this:

Remote Work and Reduced Commuting

By offering fully flexible remote work options to our staff, we significantly reduce commuting-related emissions. Our staff enjoy a better work-life balance, with flexible hours that allow work to fit around life, not the other way around.

Sustainable Practices

• Reduced Travel and Virtual Solutions: We limit unnecessary travel through video meetings, online demos, and remote work options, helping to cut carbon emissions.
• Waste Reduction and Recycling: We recycle 50% of our waste, diverting materials from landfills and conserving natural resources.
• Use of Recycled Materials: Our mobile devices and equipment incorporate recycled content, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact.

Net Zero Strategy

We are developing a roadmap for achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our operations, including Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Building on our remote work practices, we aim to:

• Year 1: Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 15%.
• Year 2: Engage 75% of our suppliers in a sustainability program.
• Year 3: Increase green spaces by 20% and collaborate with local organizations on tree planting initiatives.

Social and Economic Impact

At Tranzaura, we are committed to supporting local communities and creating long-lasting social value. Our actions include:

• Local Procurement: We actively hire locally and work with local businesses to reduce transportation emissions and support the regional economy.
• Community Engagement: By partnering with local organizations, we enhance the environment by creating green spaces, improving air quality, and contributing to tree planting initiatives.

Employee and Supplier Training

To further our commitment to sustainability, we provide ongoing training to both our employees and suppliers, educating them on environmental protection, resource conservation, and best practices for sustainable operations.

Method Statement and Action Plan

We follow a structured approach to ensure that sustainability is embedded into every part of our business:

1. Conduct Environmental Impact Assessments: This allows us to identify areas where we can make the most meaningful improvements.
2. Yearly Targets and Progress:
   • Year 1: Achieve a 15% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
   • Year 2: Engage 75% of suppliers in sustainability initiatives.
   • Year 3: Create 20% more green spaces and partner with local organizations for tree planting.
3. Metrics for Success: We track progress using indicators such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, green spaces created, and water and waste reduction.

 

Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement

We recognize that sustainability is a journey, and we are committed to continually refining our processes. We will report on our progress annually, gather feedback, and look for new ways to improve.

By embedding social value and sustainability into every aspect of our operations, we hope to deliver positive outcomes for our staff, customers, and the communities we serve. Every pound we spend, or our customers spend with us, will aim to generate a tangible social return.

As a sustainability-focused SaaS company, we’re committed to revolutionizing fleet management. Our innovative software eliminates the need for paper, reducing waste and environmental impact. By optimizing fleet operations, tracking fuel consumption, and enhancing resource management, we’re empowering businesses to operate more sustainably.

Our solutions contribute to a greener future by minimizing carbon emissions and promoting efficient resource utilization. We believe that by leveraging technology, we can drive significant positive change in the transportation industry. Our goal is to create a sustainable and efficient future for businesses and the planet.
