Corporate Social Responsibility

Britannia is committed to the uppermost levels of ethical and considerate trading to ensure that we work in tandem with our local and global surroundings in a thoughtful and responsible manner.

Britannia’s domestic and international moving services involve areas where our vehicles and usage of packing materials could potentially undermine the stability of the environment. Britannia has made commitments to ensure that our vehicle emissions are reduced significantly as well as a recycling policy for our packaging that supports sustainability and reduces any potential impact on the environment. Britannia sources partners and suppliers around the world that fit with this criteria and match our aspirations for social and environmental responsibility.
