United Pallet Network (UPN) has achieved ISO 14001:2015 certification, marking a major milestone in its mission to put sustainability at the core of palletised freight distribution.
ISO 14001:2015 is the global standard for Environmental Management Systems, proving organisations manage environmental impact responsibly while driving sustainability, compliance, and continuous improvement across operations.

Following a rigorous independent audit by the British Assessment Bureau, a UKAS-accredited body, UPN has been officially certified for its Environmental Management System recognising UPN’s structured, accountable, and transparent approach to reducing its environmental footprint.

From Carbon Neutral Deliveries to the rollout of Electric Forklift Trucks, UPN has already made bold strides to lower emissions and modernise operations. This latest accreditation cements its position as a logistics leader that delivers both reliability and responsibility.

David Brown – UPN Managing Director commented, “This certification is a proud achievement for UPN and a clear signal of our commitment to sustainability. We are dedicated to providing services that not only meet our customers’ needs but also have minimal impact on our planet. ISO 14001:2015 provides the framework to ensure we keep driving measurable improvements across our business.”

Joanna Davilla UPN Sustainability Lead, added, “ISO 14001 proves that for UPN sustainability is not just a promise, it’s embedded into how we operate every day. Our members, customers, and partners can be confident that when they choose UPN, they’re choosing a business that takes its environmental responsibilities seriously.”

A clear signal of our commitment to sustainability

The certification carries the UKAS ‘Crown & Tick’ mark, the government-backed guarantee of trust and quality. Through UKAS CertCheck, anyone can validate UPN’s certification details, offering transparency and assurance at every step.

UPN’s sights are set on combining first-class palletised freight services with uncompromising environmental responsibility. This certification is both recognition of progress and a springboard for further innovation in green logistics.
