Manfreight is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Sustainable Business Award at the Irish News Business Excellence Awards 2026, recognising the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence.

The prestigious award celebrates organisations that demonstrate a strong commitment to embedding sustainable practices throughout their operations, and represents a significant milestone in Manfreight’s continued journey towards a more environmentally responsible future.

This achievement is a reflection of the dedication and passion of the entire Manfreight team. Across every area of the business - from drivers and warehouse colleagues to operational teams, customer support, and strategic leadership - colleagues continue to play a vital role in delivering excellence while supporting the company’s sustainability ambitions.

Over recent years, Manfreight has made significant investments in sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, fleet modernisation, and smarter operational solutions. These initiatives include the introduction of energy-efficient technologies, investment in lower-emission transport solutions, and the development of facilities designed to reduce environmental impact while enhancing customer service.

However, sustainability at Manfreight extends far beyond technology and infrastructure. It is driven by the people who embrace change, challenge existing ways of working, and help embed responsible practices into everyday operations.

Receiving the Sustainable Business Award recognises the collective effort across the organisation and highlights Manfreight’s commitment to balancing business growth with environmental responsibility. It reflects the company’s belief that operational excellence, innovation, and sustainability can work together to create long-term value for customers, communities, and the wider logistics industry.

Chris Slowey, Managing Director at Manfreight, said:

"This award is a tremendous recognition of the commitment and dedication shown by everyone across the Manfreight team. Sustainability is not something achieved through one initiative or one department — it is the result of continuous effort, collaboration, and a shared ambition to do things better."

"We are incredibly proud of the progress we have made, but we recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey. We will continue to invest, innovate, and work alongside our customers, partners, and suppliers to build a more sustainable future for logistics."

Manfreight extends its sincere thanks to the Irish News Business Excellence Awards, its customers, partners, suppliers, and the entire Manfreight team for their continued support and commitment.
