Our plan sets the direction for how we will continue to grow as a business and lead the future of vehicle recycling. It shapes our ongoing commitment to sustainability, responsibility, and continuous improvement.
It explains what we are prioritising, the steps we are taking today and tomorrow, and how we will monitor and openly report the progress we make.
Doing all we can to safeguard the future of the planet, including our drive to become carbon neutral.
Educating and empowering our people on the issue of climate change and sustainability.
Working with our partners and clients to help make both our businesses more sustainable every day.
To deliver a sustainable future, we need to address the environmental impacts of our business. We’re monitoring and improving our energy consumption and efficiency, increasing the amount of waste we recycle, investing in smart technology to make our logistics more efficient, and partnering with sustainable couriers. We continue to identify new opportunities for improvement across the business to ensure we keep moving toward our environmental goals.
We are committed to minimising our environmental impact – working with our clients and the wider industry to tackle climate change, reduce waste and protect our planet.
LKQ SYNETIQ maximises the environmental value of every vehicle we process. Category B salvage vehicles – those which are not in a condition to return to the road – do not go to waste. Reusable parts such as doors, bonnets and headlamps are cleaned, checked and resupplied for reuse on existing vehicles.
By utilising the four Rs approach of Reduce, Reuse, Remanufacture and Recycle, we keep vehicles in life, and where they can’t be put back on the road, compliantly dismantle them to maximise reuse and minimise environmental impact.
We recycle any remaining raw materials such as copper wiring and tyre rubber to ensure that the amount of waste is kept to an absolute minimum.
Carbon Literacy is an understanding of our everyday carbon emissions and offers a starting point for making real change in the way we tackle climate change.
We’ve worked closely with experts to understand the carbon lifecycle of the vehicle parts we sell. From recovering accident-damaged vehicles, to the movement they make across our sites and the energy it takes to dismantle parts and get them shipped to our customers, it’s all included.
