Home About Corporate social responsibility

Doing good. Delivering better.

At Routd, responsible business isn’t a box to tick. It’s built into how we operate every day.

We believe smarter logistics should create value beyond the balance sheet. From the sites we serve to the communities we’re part of, we’re building supply chains that are greener, fairer and more transparent, for everyone.

Environmental impact. Greener routes, smaller footprint.

Logistics doesn’t have to cost the earth. Through AI-driven route optimisation and smarter fleet management, environmental responsibility is built directly into our platform, so every delivery does less damage.

Real people, real communities. Real difference.

Behind every delivery is a person: a school cook, a care worker, a warehouse operative, a young person in need of a start. Our platform is designed to make their lives easier and their communities better served.

Supporting our workforce

Routd-supported operations have enabled flexible working for 150+ parents and carers, contributing to a 12% year-on-year increase in workforce retention. Our inclusive recruitment actively opens opportunities for veterans, working parents and people re-entering the workforce.

Supporting young people through the Tobun Foundation

Through our partnership with the Tobun Foundation, we’ve donated over 1,000 laptops and provided mentoring and employability workshops to over 1,000 young people every year across the UK.

Ensuring access to essential goods

Routd helps deliver millions of meals and critical supplies to schools, hospitals and remote facilities, reliably, every day. Real-time visibility and smart routing have reduced delivery discrepancies by 65% across UK education sites.
