At INTX, we fully understand the impact that the transport industry has on the environment.

We want to ensure our clients receive a quality service whilst also doing our part to minimise our impact on the environment and taking care of the planet.

As a small business, we know that we’re not going to solve everything all at once but we are committed to bettering ourselves everyday and have taken steps to start to reduce our impact on the environment.

Our environmental policy can be accessed here.

As well as doing our best to minimise our impact, we encourage our clients to do the same wherever we transport them. Our responsible visitor charter can be accessed here.

Our sustainability efforts are implemented and considered with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals in mind as we are determined to be a part of the solution.

Green Tourism

As a company who specialises in providing transport solutions for the tourism sector, we support the work Green Tourism are doing to hold companies accountable for how they operate. We have signed up to Green Tourism’s award programme in 2022 and in our 2024 assessment, we earned a silver award.

We are committed to improving the way we do things here at INTX and we are working hard with Green Tourism to gain a higher-level award and show our dedication to running an environmentally friendly business that puts people, places and planet at the centre of all decisions.

Better Business Act

Our company joined the Better Business Act coalition because we believe the world needs every business at its best – creating good jobs, helping to fix pressing problems and adding value to society. The Better Business Act will amend section 172 of The Companies Act to ensure that company directors are responsible for advancing the interests of shareholders alongside those of wider society and the environment.

We are encouraged by the fact that the Better Business Act is a business-led campaign, driven by leaders who recognise that the law has fallen behind business culture and who have proven that this approach to business works for everyone.

We believe that the Better Business Act is a unique opportunity to demonstrate UK leadership on the global stage – creating a competitive advantage, driving innovation, accelerating progress to net zero, and aligning with the government’s ambition to build back better.

The Mersey Forest

In 2024, we began a new partnership with The Mersey Forest, a leading environmental initiative dedicated to creating woodlands and green spaces across Cheshire and Merseyside. With over 30 years of experience, The Mersey Forest has planted more than 9 million trees, transforming urban and rural landscapes while improving biodiversity, air quality, and community wellbeing.

Through this partnership, INTX is providing financial support for key initiatives such as the Liverpool Standard Tree Planting Programme, which aims to plant over 500 standard trees in underfunded public areas across Liverpool.

By working with The Mersey Forest, we are reinforcing our commitment to sustainability in a way that directly supports our local environment. This collaboration enables us to contribute to meaningful reforestation efforts closer to home, ensuring that our business actively helps combat climate change and improve the quality of life for those living and working in the North West.

Trees for Life

Trees for Life are an environmental organisation who are striving to rewild the Scottish Highlands by restoring the globally unique Caledonian Forest which once covered much of Scotland.

Since 2021, we have been committed to supporting reforestation efforts through our partnership with Trees for Life. As part of this partnership, we established our own corporate grove, contributing to vital ecological restoration.

From 2022, every hire made through INTX included a donation to Trees for Life, helping us surpass our goal of planting 500 trees in 2023. By the time we transitioned to a new partnership in 2024, we had planted an incredible 1,967 trees in our grove.

In 2024, we began a new chapter in our sustainability journey by partnering with The Mersey Forest, a local initiative focused on large-scale tree planting and community reforestation across the North West. This shift allows us to support environmental projects closer to home, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability in the communities where we operate.

FareShare

Community support remains at the heart of our sustainability efforts and our support for FareShare, the UK’s leading charity fighting hunger and food waste is a highlight.

FareShare works to redistribute surplus food to charities and community groups, ensuring that good food reaches people in need rather than going to waste. Our team have actively supported FareShare through fundraising challenges that made a real impact.

In 2024, these efforts helped provide over 4,000 meals, a testament to the power of collective action and the generosity of our team and supporters. By supporting FareShare, INTX is proud to contribute to a more sustainable and fairer food system, reducing food waste while directly supporting vulnerable communities.

Transaid

At INTX, we are passionate about doing what we can to help the transport sector both locally and internationally. That is why we chose Transaid as our international charity of choice. We fully support and are passionate about the work Transaid are doing “to transform lives through safe, available and sustainable transport.”

Transaid aim to achieve this goal by focusing on professional driver training, transport management systems, and rural access to transport, to solve some of the biggest transport challenges in economically developing countries including road deaths and maternal access to vital care.
