Brambles

Founded in 1875

CEO: Graham Chipchase

Under the CHEP brand, Brambles helps move more goods to more people, in more places than any other organisation on earth. Its pallets, crates and containers form the invisible backbone of the global supply chain and the world’s biggest brands trust Brambles to help them transport their goods more efficiently, sustainably and safely.

As pioneers of the sharing economy, Brambles created one of the world's most sustainable logistics businesses through the sharing and reuse of its platforms under a model known as ‘pooling’. Brambles primarily serves the fast-moving consumer goods – for example, dry food, grocery, and health and personal care – fresh produce, beverage, retail and general manufacturing industries.

Bramble also prides itself on its circular business model, which facilitates the ‘share and reuse’ of the world’s largest pool of reusable pallets and containers. This enables Brambles to serve its customers while minimising the impact on the environment and improving the efficiency and safety of supply chains around the world. In a resource-constrained world, circular business models like those operated by Brambles are recognised as a practical business solution enabling the world to trade more responsibly. By replenishing what it extracts and providing its products via a service, Brambles helps reduce both the constant pressure on natural resources and the waste production typical of conventional linear business models.

The Group employs more than 12,000 people and owns approximately 360 million pallets, crates and containers through a network of more than 750 service centres. Brambles operates in approximately 60 countries with its largest operations in North America and Western Europe.
