BramblesESG & Sustainability Jobs

Brambles is a supply chain logistics company specializing in the management of reusable pallets and containers across 60 countries.

Brambles is an Australian-headquartered supply chain logistics company best known for operating CHEP, the world's largest pallet and container pooling business. CHEP serves consumer goods manufacturers, retailers, and fresh produce suppliers across more than 60 countries by providing shared, reusable wooden pallets, crates, and containers rather than single-use alternatives.

Why it matters

The pooling model sits at the heart of Brambles' sustainability story. By sharing pallets across a network of manufacturers, retailers, and logistics providers, the company reduces the total number of pallets that need to be produced, transported empty, or discarded. This circular approach cuts timber demand, lowers carbon emissions from transport, and diverts wood waste from landfill. Brambles has published targets around forest-positive sourcing and reducing supply chain emissions, positioning the pooling model as a practical, large-scale example of the circular economy applied to physical goods.

The company operates one of the largest commercial reuse networks in the world, handling hundreds of millions of pallet movements annually, which gives its environmental commitments meaningful scale.
