Green Business of the Year 2026

Tom Isler

We’re proud to announce that we have been awarded Green Business of the Year at the East Midlands Chamber Nottinghamshire Business Awards. 
 
To be recognised for our ongoing commitment to sustainability and the work we do every day to create responsible, future-focused logistics solutions, is so rewarding for the whole team.

Green Business of the Year

The East Midlands Chamber Business Awards are a fantastic opportunity for sponsors, finalists and members of the Chamber to come together and celebrate the amazing work that organisations in Nottinghamshire undertake every day.

We were thrilled to attend the awards alongside so many other fantastic businesses from across the region, and we are overjoyed to have won Green Business of the Year.

At Baxter Freight, our environmental activity centres around empowering customers to reduce supply chain emissions through our Sustainable Freight Network. Our consultancy-led service helps businesses take data-driven steps to reduce their supply chain emissions, improving efficiency and aligning with the UK Government Net Zero Strategy to neutralise emissions by 2050.

By providing actionable insights, customers can futureproof their operations and integrate sustainability as a core business consideration.

As our Associate Director of Accelerate UK, Jamie Reid, said when accepting the award, “Small changes really can make a huge difference. Whatever we can all do to make the planet a better place to be, and to be more sustainable, we should all be doing it.”

Being shortlisted for this award required a thorough written application, as well as a presentation before a panel of judges including senior Chamber representatives and board members, plus the category sponsor, Blueprint Interiors.

The award itself recognises our commitment to making a positive impact on the environment through greener ways of working. From the changes we’ve made in our office to the ways we support our customers, sustainability is embedded into every aspect of our business.

Runner-up for SME of the Year

We’re also thrilled to have been a finalist for SME of the Year at the edie Awards – widely known as the Oscars of the sustainability world. Though we didn’t bring home the trophy, we remain immensely proud to have been shortlisted by such a respected sustainability-focused organisation alongside such fantastic competition. 

Moments like these remind us why we’re so passionate about helping build a logistics industry that’s more ethical, people-orientated and planet-focused.

Sustainable Logistics 2026

Sustainability has progressed beyond intent, and 2026 will be the year it becomes embedded in the day-to-day reality of logistics. Throughout 2025, we saw businesses refine their ESG approaches and set clearer expectations for their supply chains, yet the question now is how prepared those supply chains are.
