Green start-up logistics firm opens first office

A green start-up logistics firm has launched its first office at Jewellery Business centre in Birmingham.

Green Leaves Logistics was set up during the pandemic.

As an international transport and logistics provider, the business is passionate about the preservation of our environment and works with manufacturers in providing environmentally friendly transport solutions with each shipping order.

For every shipment handled, the business aims to remove more CO2 from the atmosphere than what is emitted. Green Leaves Logistics has so far removed more than 2,000 CO2e tonnes from the atmosphere through various projects including producing energy from waste rice husks and supporting wind generation.

It has also supported responsible reforestation projects with more than 4,000 trees planted in Mozambique, Madagascar, Nicaragua, Kenya and Uganda.

Karen French, operations director at Green Leaves Logistics, said: “We chose Jewellery Business Centre as the location to open our first office, due its central location with the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham and public transport links. We were impressed by the overall look and feel of the building and facilities.

“We are passionate about the positive work we are doing for the environment and are looking forward to continuing our business growth plans and expanding the business further.”
