Linfox’s first carbon neutral building certified

Act Sustainably

 

Linfox has earned the coveted Climate Active carbon neutral building certification for its Willawong, Queensland cross-functional logistics facility and state head office.

 

This endorsement is in line with Linfox’s pledge to reduce its emissions, continuing the company’s broader environmental sustainability vision for this site and beyond.

The Climate Active building certification recognises the harmonious integration of on-site features dedicated to reducing carbon emissions. These encompass solar and battery systems, energy-efficient LED lighting, electric forklifts powered by on-site generated solar energy, zero landfill waste practices, and highly efficient refrigeration systems, among other initiatives.

 

Carbon offsets have helped mitigate residual emissions from fossil fuel sources while finding ways to eliminate these residual emissions.

Already accredited with a 5 Star Green Star Design and As Built rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, the site is constructed to withstand climate change and resist the effects of extreme weather events, mitigating their impact on national supply chains.

Linfox is also investing in achieving zero waste to landfill and securing an ongoing renewable electricity contract.
