Sustainable fulfilment refers to the process of delivering eCommerce products in a way that minimises a business’s environmental impact. This might involve using eco-friendly packaging materials, optimising delivery routes to reduce fuel consumption and investing in renewable energy sources to power fulfilment warehouses.
Now more than ever, consumers are ranking sustainability as a crucial consideration when choosing whether to complete a purchase. Many shoppers claim they would be willing to source a product or service elsewhere if they discovered a brand was not operating in a sustainable manner.
Some examples of sustainable fulfilment practices that many businesses are already making the switch to include:
Outsourcing your eCommerce fulfilment to a provider who shares your dedication to sustainability is an easy way to ensure your business promotes eco-friendly product fulfilment. Additional benefits include:
Utilising the expertise of a sustainable fulfilment provider can enhance your brand’s reputation, demonstrating your unrivalled commitment to sustainable practices. This can not only increase customer loyalty but also attract new customers and help you stand out from competitors.
Outsourcing your sustainable fulfilment needs can also lead to substantial cost savings. For example, by utilising less packaging, you can reduce shipping costs. In addition, if your chosen fulfilment provider invests in renewable energy resources, their energy bills will be lower, meaning your costs will also decrease.
As previously mentioned, online shoppers are becoming increasingly aware of their impact on the environment. By utilising the assistance of an eco-friendly fulfilment provider, you’ll be in the position to meet those demands, attracting an increased number of environmentally conscious customers.
A widespread problem within eCommerce, over-packaging refers to the process of using more packaging than necessary to protect a product. Now, we know it’s important to ensure products are kept safe during transit, however, it’s important to consider whether the amount of packaging you’re using is actually required. An efficient fulfilment provider will eradicate excess packaging, reducing waste and simplifying your pick-and-pack operations.

In the modern world labelling your business as an eco-friendly enterprise goes a long way, and it could be an even more important step moving forward.
