CHEP UK Limited

CHEP UK Limited is the British arm of CHEP, a subsidiary of Brambles that manages the world's largest pool of reusable pallets and containers. The company pioneered the share-and-reuse model for supply chain logistics: its blue pallets, crates and containers are owned centrally and circulated among growers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, rather than being bought and discarded by each user. The pool comprises roughly 347 million assets, and CHEP operates in around 60 countries with about 13,000 employees.

The business serves a range of sectors, including consumer goods and FMCG, manufacturing, retail, agriculture, and distribution. Its operating model is built on a circular economy principle: assets are collected, inspected, repaired and returned to circulation, so that goods move through supply chains with fewer wasted materials and lower transport costs. Technical work in the organisation spans supply chain logistics, asset pooling and share-and-reuse systems, and sustainability and emissions reduction.

CHEP states its purpose as connecting people with life's essentials every day in a nature-positive way. Sustainability commitments focus on reducing waste, CO2 emissions and costs across the supply chains it serves. Further information is available at chep.com.
