Sustainability

Environmental Commitment

At Dyers Logistics, we are dedicated to protecting the environment and driving continuous improvement through a structured environmental management system. By setting clear objectives and targets, we aim to reduce our ecological footprint and promote sustainable growth - one step at a time.

What are Dyers doing?

As a key player in the transport sector - Dyers Logistics recognises our responsibility and opportunity to drive meaningful change. We are actively working with our partners to reduce emissions across our operations.

In alignment with the Australian Government’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, we are taking conscious, measurable steps to support this transition and contribute to a more sustainable future.

All Vehicles meet Euro 5 emissions standards or above

Dyers Logistics is proud to lead the way in reducing transport-related emissions and improving operational efficiency. As part of our commitment to environmental responsibility, we have recently invested in a fleet of five Scania Euro 6 vehicles. These advanced engines are designed to be more economical, deliver enhanced performance, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 92%.

Fuel Efficiency Initiatives:

  • Real-time fuel monitoring and targeted fuel reduction across all business units
  • Telematics integration and a strong focus on driver training to promote efficient driving practices
  • Smarter planning through network and route optimisation
  • Routine vehicle maintenance to ensure peak performance and minimal emissions

Refrigerated Transport Enhancements:

Our refrigerated vans now use R452A refrigerant gas, which offers:

  • 45% less impact on the ozone layer
  • Electric standby capability for pre-loading
  • High-efficiency units with lower noise levels and reduced emissions

These initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and responsible logistics. We’re proud to be making meaningful changes today for a cleaner tomorrow.

Installed solar panels on Dyers depot roof

Dyers Logistics has partnered with East Gippsland Solar to install a 56kW solar system at our Bairnsdale depot, an important step toward reducing our environmental impact and offsetting energy costs.

This system features 160 x 350W REC solar panels, each pair equipped with SolarEdge power optimisers to maximise individual panel performance. The SolarEdge technology also enables real-time monitoring via Wi-Fi, allowing us to track:

  • Total solar energy production
  • Individual panel output
  • Building energy consumption
  • Energy fed back into the grid

Solar energy provides clean, renewable power and significantly benefits the environment. We’re proud to implement this system at our Bairnsdale site and look forward to expanding similar initiatives across other depots in the future.
