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 .
