Environmental Responsibility

Freight Innovations are proud to be associated with Food and Trees for Africa and it`s Homestead Project, the most successful township greening initiative in South Africa. This project was originally designed to address SA’s history of inequitable settlement policies, the programme quickly grew to become the country’s benchmark of innovation in urban forestry. A typical project sees two trees going to each home in a township:

• 1 x fruit tree
• 1 x indigenous tree

Developing community foresters with training and skills is also an integral part of the programme’s design. These environmental champions create threads of awareness and appreciation and have an opportunity for temporary and long-term employment.

In line with our Corporate Social Responsibility expansion programme, we will have a carbon audit at the end of 2022 which will allow us to work towards reducing and offsetting our carbon emissions. The goal is to become carbon neutral by 2023.

March of each year will also see Freight Innovations plant an orchard at a school to supplement a feeding scheme. Please visit our Facebook page for regular updates or visit our about us page for an update on the total number of trees planted.
