SDG 15: Life on Land - Is about protecting, restoring and promoting the sustainable use of our ecosystems. It focuses on safeguarding biodiversity, supporting healthy habitats and ensuring that the natural world is preserved for future generations.

At Oakland International we’re investing in a greener, more biodiverse space as not only is it good for the environment, but its good for our people too.

At our Redditch HQ we are:
· Planting grass seeds around the site to create healthier, greener surroundings.
· Planting more trees both on site and in surrounding fields –strengthening local hedgerows which act as a vital corridor for birds, deer and other species.
· Revamping our community garden, creating a shared place for employees to relax and connect with nature.

SDG 15 reminds us that protecting the planet starts with caring for the land right on our doorstep.

SDG 14: Life Below Water - focuses on conserving and sustainably using our oceans, seas and marine resources. Our oceans play a vital role in regulating the climate, supporting biodiversity and sustaining livelihoods.
At Oakland International, we may not work directly with marine environments, but we still play an important role in helping keep our oceans clean through responsible resource management and sustainable operating practices.
Our Zero to Landfill policy and strict recycling regulations within our warehouses mean no plastic and packaging debris pollutes our oceans.
By taking measures to reduce our carbon emissions we are also doing our part to help reduce the wider environmental pressures affecting our marine ecosystems.

Proud to support the incredible work that FareShare continues to do across the UK, and playing a small part in helping make such a huge difference.
Their mission to get good surplus food to the people who need it most is truly inspiring.
This year together 13,129 tonnes of surplus food was redistributed, providing the equivalent of 72.9 million meals to communities nationwide. We also prevented 59,000 tonnes of CO₂e from entering the atmosphere.
Let’s keep pushing for a future where good food never goes to waste!

SDG 13: Climate Action - SDG 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. This involves reducing emissions, strengthening resilience and embedding climate-conscious decision-making into our operations.

At Oakland International we recognise that tackling climate change requires more than promises, it demands consistent, measurable action.

That’s why, since 2021, we’ve worked with a third party to calculate our carbon footprint, giving us clear insight into our emissions and help us target our largest emitters.

We’ve also invested in low-carbon solutions in our operations:

· We have an EV leasing scheme and offer free EV charging on site for our employees.

· We’ve introduced Eco-Drive in our refrigerated trucks, a technology which powers our fridges from the trucks own engine.

We’re especially proud to share that our carbon intensity has decreased since 2021, even as our business has continued to grow. This demonstrates the real impact of our climate initiatives and strengthens our commitment to reaching net zero by 2040.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production - Encourages organisations to reduce waste, use resources responsibly, and prioritise systems that protect the planet for future generations.

At Oakland International, responsible resource management is embedded not only in how we operate, but in the everyday actions of our people. From our Zero to Landfill Policy to sending all food waste that is unsuitable for donation to an anaerobic digestion plant, sustainability is central to our approach.

A great example of this is the specialist recycling station shown below, requested by employees to recycle batteries and blister packets, materials that are often overlooked and difficult to dispose of responsibly. This initiative reflects our teams’ desire to go beyond standard recycling and take ownership of reducing waste at every opportunity.

We remain committed to ensuring our waste becomes a resource, not a burden.

SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities - The eleventh SDG focuses on creating inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable communities. It’s about ensuring everyone, no matter where they live, can access opportunities, feel supported and thrive within a strong and connected community.

At Oakland International, we recognise the important role our business plays in supporting the communities around us and why our charity, Oakland Foundation, is dedicated to helping disadvantage children across England and Wales.

One powerful example of this impact is support for schools using the Be You Training Programme. Oakland Foundation provide schools funding for students who may otherwise be unable to access this programme, ensuring that more young people can benefit from the opportunities it provides.

Encouraging team building, leadership, communication and personal growth through outdoor learning, on-site activities and confidence-building challenges, schools are able to support young people develop these essential skills, with the programme strengthening resilience.

SDG 11 reminds us that sustainable communities are built through long term investment in people, and we are proud that the Oakland Foundation continues to play a meaningful role in that mission.
