2016 BANKSIA MINDFUL MOVEMENT AWARD

Sendle, NSW

Sendle exists to make parcel delivery simple, reliable and affordable for the millions of small businesses across Australia. We do this by unlocking big business logistics, and making it available to everyone, to the extent that it is now cheaper to Sendle a parcel direct from your home or office than it is to line up at the post office. We are also Australia’s only 100% carbon neutral delivery service, because we believe that sending a parcel shouldn’t cost the earth. We had three firm objectives in mind when we built the Sendle business. 1. Build a purpose driven company. Small businesses are the powerhouse of the Australian economy, and our passion is helping these small businesses to thrive. We are successful when our customers are successful, and we already underpin thousands of small businesses across Australia. 2. Environmentally sustainable at the core. We wanted to create a logistics business with environmental sustainability at its core so we built our carbon offset program into the business model from day 1, not as an option (like you might see with airlines or other providers) but as a feature. 3. Start a movement. We wanted to encourage other transport and logistics providers to take responsibility for their carbon emissions. Transport and storage accounts for over 5% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions , and we believe that this is an issue for the industry as a whole. We hope by showing that you can have a more affordable logistics solution that is also 100% carbon offset, other logistics providers might do the same.
