Gander & White is extremely conscious of the climate emergency facing the globe whilst remaining fully aware that we operate in an industry that does not by design lend itself to sustainable practices. We are proud that by engaging a carbon consultant, the entire Gander & White group is now four years Planet Mark certified. In 2025, we completed our first full Scope 3 measurement, meaning we have successfully measured our entire carbon footprint. This has allowed us to set a Net Zero target for 2045 which we see as both ambitious and realistic; this comes on top of our commitment, as Planet Mark members, to reduce our carbon emissions by 2.5% each year.
Since March 2024, the entire group has been an active member of the Gallery Climate Coalition, a grouping of galleries and shippers committed to ensuring best practices to decarbonise the visual arts industry. In addition to this we have partnered with and are an official supplier of Rokbox LOOP across our network and are fully committed to both using and encouraging use of their products wherever possible to allow for more sustainable packaging solutions whilst always assuring the integrity of the precious cargo we ship.
Alongside this we have a longstanding practice of reusing our wooden crates whenever this is pertinent and either recycling them or having them used in local community programes such as donating wood chip to local art classes where it is not. In 2025 we purchased our first fully electric HGV bringing our total number of electric vehicles in our fleet to three and we remain committed to building on this as and when possible – in anticipation of the future growth of the EV network in the USA we have installed multiple charging points at our newest facility in Miami.
Our green team seeks to drive engagement and innovation on all sustainable practices across our staff. As per GCC stipulations. we will always offer sea freight alternatives to airfreight where this is viable for our clients, providing them with advance notice of when we require their goods in order to meet relevant deadlines.
Our overarching goal is to place sustainability and sustainable practices at the heart of everything we do and to set an industry leading standard that will be the benchmark for all fine art shippers to match.
